Why in the original "Star Wars" (1977) Droid R2-D2 did not tell Luka Skywalle that his father is Darth Vader? This question is tormented by the fans of the famous space saga for many years, but a suitable answer cannot even provide Mark Hamill, to which the clarifications appealed. The actor who performed the role of Luke responded to this appeal, but was forced to admit that the logic here was not found.
My daughter has just asked: "R2-D2 witnessed all this story, and his memory was never erased. Why then he himself did not tell the hatch that Vader had his father to him? " I was so sitting confused until my daughter shrugged my shoulders and did not leave my deeds,

Unlike his partner C-3PO, whose memory was erased at the end of the episode of the "Revenge of Sith", R2-D2 has always been aware that the father of Luke was Anakin Skywalker, who later became Darth Vader. Why didn't the Droid reported on this hatch when they met? I did not want to break the heart of a hero who had not surpassed the spirit? Or the surname Skywalker is spread on the planet Tatooin and R2-D2 did not know that in front of him the son of Anakina? Or maybe keep silence DROIDA ordered Obi-vanobi?
Obviously, all fans remain only to accept this incredibility, making a discount on the fact that when developing such a large-scale franchise as "Star Wars", some errors will be inevitable.
