R2-D2 may have kept the truth from Luke across the original Star Wars trilogy
The droid never had his memory erased, and he may have been steering the Skywalker story all along
R2-D2 may have lied to Luke throughout the entire original Star Wars trilogy. R2 served Padmé, fought beside Anakin, knew Obi-Wan, and had already traveled with Yoda. Unlike C-3PO, R2 never had his memory erased.
That means when Luke asked about his father, met Yoda, and discovered Vader's identity, R2 likely knew the truth every single time. He wasn't just following Luke, either. R2 deliberately led him to Obi-Wan and started the entire adventure. He may have been secretly controlling the entire Skywalker story.
Do you think R2-D2 knew the truth all along?
