Why? I enjoy the Star Wars films, not a big fan though. Why is this line and part of the franchise so iconic? Just seems like a regular storyline from a soap opera but with added sci-fi.

I don't think that's the right quote even.

because most time blacks and latinos (myself included ) dont have dads

Because Luke needed a zaddy

It's the biggest and most influential twist of all time, not just cinema.

because it's the biggest plot twist in history
It's not

In the movie he says "No, I am your father"

It was like the best plot twist ever

never heard it

idk, I assume it's the biggest plot moment in the franchise?

The same reason "Not my daughter you bitch" and "Surprise bitch" are. They are just iconic and memorable lines

Not even the 'iconic' quote being a complete fabrication.

It's not iconic.

Because at the time it was literally a shocker and the line caught on. I mean not everyday you find out that your father is second in command of the evilest force the galaxy ever known.

Maybe in whatever delusional world you live in

It's embedded into culture and movie history.

Vader, his power

Isn't it "Luke, I am your father"??

At the time people had no context to the story at all. It was indeed quite a shock to people - even more so considering how popular and iconic the franchise already was. A lot of fans were blindsided.
