The scene
After cutting off Luke’s hand, Vader tells him that Obi-Wan never told him what happened to his father. Luke: “He told me enough! He told me you killed him.” Vader: “No, I am your father.”
It’s widely misquoted as “Luke, I am your father.” The line is used for any surprising family or origin reveal.
