    My daughter just asked, “R2-D2 was there for the whole story and never had his memory wiped so why didn’t he just tell Luke that Vader was his father at some point?” I just sat there dumbfounded until she shrugged and walked away.

        Would R2 have known what happened to Anakin? Did they make it public that Vader was Anakin?

        Well it took him 5 seconds to download anything he wanted from the Death Star computer. There's no way he didn't have a peak at the records from HR.

        Or her why didn't they use the time turner to save Harry's parents and just basically avoid all horrible things. Or her Indiana Jones had no actual influence on the outcome of Raiders (from @bigbangtheory). Or her why didn't 007 just let M die earlier and save his house?

        I think it can be argued that the droids are essentially a slave race. Maybe withholding information that he wasn’t directly asked about was a small act of resistance.

        A good father would have lied about the existance of the "prequels".

        The lil' runt was being courteous, observing the Spinach Rule: don't tell someone about something terrible about them that they can't immediately fix. Spinach in their teeth: tell them. Horrible tattoo choice? Stay mum: it will just be awkward for everybody.

        R2 is stuck in a never ending time loop, he’s lived the entire story hundreds, if not thousands of times before. He’s been groundhogging the whole time. That’s why he is so casual about everything and always knows what to do next.
