Whose father is it anyway? (via @PhilJameson on X)
Vader is trying to have a dramatic moment, but millennial Luke is busy scrolling TikTok. Guess you can't compete with trending videos, not even with galaxy-shattering revelations. Talk about bad timing, Vader.
Birthday and backpay, please (via @ComicGirlAshley on X)
Forget the whole "I'm your father" bombshell; know what Luke’s real issue is? The 16 years of forgotten birthday presents! And don’t even get him started on all those missed lightsaber lessons. Pay up, old man!
Sperm donor realness (via @VeryLonelyLuke on X)
Darth Vader’s big confession might have been shocking, but Luke’s comeback is a stinger: “A real father sticks around.” We’re in 2025, Vader—nobody’s impressed by a part-time villain dad.
Vader shouldn't expect a "World's Best Dad" mug (via @thedad on X)
The moment when Luke realizes he’s not just a Jedi but also the son of the Darth Vader. Sorry, Luke, that's quite the news! But there is more to being a dad, and Vader definitely left out quite a few boxes. Make him work for it!
Misquote shocker (via @antoniodelotero on X)
Everyone swears it’s “Luke, I am your father,” but then you Google it and—boom!—it’s “No, I am your father.” Cue the shocked Pikachu face. Sometimes the internet just likes to toy with our childhood memories.
Luke's name struggle is real (via @Lucas_Ludwig0 on X)
If your name is Luke, you’ve probably heard “Luke, I am your father” more times than you can count. If you’ve survived this without losing it, you're a true Jedi.
Trust issues intensify (via @treydayway on X)
Forget the Death Star; the real betrayal is finding out it’s “No, I am your father,” not “Luke.” How are we supposed to believe anything anymore? Time for a rewatch of Star Wars to regain trust in the universe.
Vader’s happy tune (via @DarthNoob14 on X)
Right when Luke's expecting the worst, Vader flips the script and channels his inner Pharrell: 🎶 “It might seem crazy what I’m about to say…” 🎶 Nothing like a pop tune to break the tension in family reunions.
Fan talk confessions (via @DannyDeraney on X)
Admit it, we all used to speak into a fan, pretending to be Vader, saying, “Luke, I am your father.” Instant voice changer and dramatic effect—it’s the childhood flex.
Paper towel roll or bust (via @sixfootcandy on X)
If you’ve never used an empty paper towel roll to reenact the "Luke, I am your father" moment, are you even a Star Wars fan? Basic Jedi training starts at home.
Named for memes (via @if5SOSHadKids on X)
Turns out, your parents didn’t name you Luke because of family tradition. No, it was for the sole purpose of making Star Wars jokes for the rest of your life. Talk about long-term meme planning.
Luke’s galaxy-sized inheritance plan (via @TheAndrewNadeau on X)
Luke’s doing some quick math here—join Vader and get half the stuff, or wait for him to kick the bucket and get it all. Jedi, Sith, or future financial planner? You decide.
Moo-screaming epicness (via @GuitarAlanAkin on X)
The dramatic “NOOOOOO” has been played out in many ways, but none quite as epic as this screaming hippo. Because nothing says emotional breakdown like animal sound effects.
Luke Wilson’s quiet ‘wow’ (via @tiffistrying on X)
Forget Mark Hamill—Luke Wilson's “Wow” delivers the calmest response ever to the biggest news in the galaxy. It looks like someone’s been meditating in his downtime.
Theater kid Vader drama (via @halfbloodtrio on X)
Turns out, Luke’s dad was busy on stage playing dress-up instead of parenting. Let’s be real—if Vader were alive today, he’d probably be auditioning for Hamilton. Luke deserves a therapy session after this one.
Not your father, bro (via @glitterjuj on X)
JJ’s father is literally named Luke, and when season four ends with “I’m not your father,” you can't help but laugh at the Star Wars-style plot twist. A nice nod to the Vader drama.
Luke's enduring patience (via @lukasbattle on X)
If you’re named Luke, people have been hitting you with “Luke, I am your father” jokes since day one. Channeling the patience of a thousand Jedi, you’ve smiled through it every single time. We salute you.
Not so sure, Dad (via @thedad on X)
Vader’s trying to crack the “I am your father” joke, but Luke’s not buying it. Cue the classic dad joke, “Hi, not so sure, I’m…” followed by Luke’s inevitable scream. You can’t escape it, even in a galaxy far, far away.
Luke drops the family bomb (via @cinemalovergirl on X)
Luke dropping the “I’m not your father” bomb at dinner is the hottest gossip of the year—cue the hot wings and uncontrollable laughter. The ultimate awkward family meal.
The ultimate reference fail (via @onlyzackyzacky on X)
When your job reference letter says, “Luke, I am your father,” it’s clear that either Vader’s your boss or someone took the joke a little too far. Good luck explaining that one at your next interview!
