I'm guessing you ppl know the answer to this...
Does anakin know about Luke but not Leia? Because he's the one that tells Luke that he's his father, but I think he figures out about Leia because of the thoughts going through Luke's head in ROTJ. I haven't reas ESB or ROTJ so if it's in the book, sorry for wasting your time

When Anakin learns he is a father is a highly debated issue, with no clear answer as yet.

But CERTAINLY he did not know about Leia until ROTJ.

I had only been making my own guesses in the past. Was I right in saying Anakin learnt of Leia because of Luke's thoughts?

Absolutely. Luke's thoughts did indeed betray him. WHich is why it pissed him off so much.

Oh. I never really picked up on the phrase "Your thoughts betray you". I only picked up the harder thing of the two, oddly enough

BUT could you fake thinking stuff to throw others off? Could Luke have been bluffing, if Leia wasn't really his sister?

possible but in ANH he doesn't even know he's father, he doesn't recognise Leia on her ship

I don't think Luke would even try to fake Vader out....he prob didn't even know that his thoughts were being read.

Anakin doesn't know he's a father until after ANH, when he learns who destroyed the Death Star at Yavin. He doesn't know he's a father of twins until ROTJ when he reads Luke's thoughts.
