Line 163:
*** ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' has Vader reveal that as well... and that the Empire would be defeated by ''Ewoks''! And that as a child, ''he'' built ''C-3PO''!
{{quote|'''Luke:''' I'll never join you! [[You Killed My Father]]!
'''Darth Vader:''' No, Luke... I am your father!

'''Darth Vader:''' And Princess Leia is your sister!
'''Luke:''' That's not true! That's... ''(bewildered)'' improbable!
'''Darth Vader:''' And the Empire will be defeated... by Ewoks!
'''Luke:''' ''(totally lost)'' That's... very unlikely.
'''Darth Vader:''' And as a child, I built C-3PO!
'''Luke:''' ''Huh?''
''(later, with Vader sipping coffee and Luke smoking a cigarette)''
'''Darth Vader:''' ''(matter-of-factly)'' And the Force? Well, that's just microscopic bacteria in your bloodstream called midichlorians!

*** Also parodied in ''[[Darths and Droids]]'', [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0302.html using Anakin's stepfather in the second episode.] Naturally, Anakin says a [[Big No]].
Line 282:
* At the end of Fred Saberhagen's ''Empire of the East'' trilogy, the [[Big Bad|demon prince Orcus]] realizes that [[Big Good|Ardneh]] is his father in a sense (not the biological sense, since neither being is biological), ''and'' that, [[Thanatos Gambit|in killing Ardneh, he has also destroyed himself]].
* In [[Michael Flynn]]'s ''[[Spiral Arm|Up Jim River]]'', Donovan is in denial, and the harper doesn't want to talk about once she realizes. When Donovan puts it together, the conversation that ensues has both this, and [[Luke, You Are My Father]].
* Subverted in ''[[Low Fantasy|Joris of the Rock]]'' (1928) by Leslie Barringer; the title brigand, murderer, and rapist never manages to get the words out ... because his son, [[And This Is For|who has numerous grievances, is furiously hacking him with a sword]].
Line 461:
* ''[[Viewtiful Joe]]'' does this quite blatantly when {{spoiler|Captain Blue reveals himself to be Silvia's father}}, to the point of downright quoting Darth Vader. The entire game is one big homage to movies, so it fits.
** They did it again in the sequel where the [[Big Bad]] was {{spoiler|Jet Black, Joe's father}} and yet again the DS game double trouble where the [[Big Bad]] was {{spoiler|Joe's mother}}.
* Implied by [[Portal 2]], which confirms that Chell is the {{spoiler|possibly adopted}} daughter of {{spoiler|an Aperture Science employee, maybe even Caroline, the CEO's secretary/lover who was [[Brain Uploading|Turned Into]] [[
* In ''[[Mother 3]]'', the [[The Dragon|Masked Man]] turns out to be {{spoiler|Lucas' twin brother, Claus, who had been kidnapped and brainwashed by [[Big Bad]] Porky.}}
* There are no coincidences in the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' games. From the Sealed Sword/Blazing Blade saga, Nino turns out to be Canas's niece, Dart is Rebecca's long-lost brother Dan, Raven is actually Priscilla's brother Raymond. Then, in Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn, {{spoiler|Sephiran}} is really Lehran, the patriarch of the Begnion line of apostles/empresses {{spoiler|and a heron laguz, which means that Begnion has been following Branded around all this time}}. However, Empress Sanaki cannot hear the voice of the goddess because the apostle power is only passed down to the firstborn female of each generation, and unbeknownst to her, she had an older sister. We later find out that this is {{spoiler|Micaiah.}} Also, Mad King Ashnard's mount is really the Goldoan prince Rajaion, and his mistress, Almedha, is Rajaion's sister. Ena, Rajaion's fiancee, went to Daein to try to save him in Path of Radiance, but her grandfather, Nasir, was serving as a mole in the Crimean party. Oh, and {{spoiler|Prince Pelleas isn't actually Almedha and Ashnard's son--he's not a Branded at all. But it turns out that the long-lost prince of Daein is ''Soren''.}} Did we mention that Calill and Largo's adopted daughter is ''also'' a Branded? This is the most convoluted series ever.
