It is weird.
Some possible explanations include: they didn't tell him his real last name until he was much older, no one else on Tatooine knows it, and Skywalker is a super common last name in that galaxy, like Smith is in the US.

The real reason is that when the script was written, Luke’s father and Darth Vader we’re not the same person. It’s when that was changed with the ESB script that everything got so complicated.

She somehow knew Luke was Vaders son having never met him but *didnt* know Leia was his daughter and Leia fought back her force mind probe thing while she had her in custody and read her strength and could have killed her as a force capable kid?
You’re all talking absolute bollox I’m afraid to say

Exactly.
Retconning is a proud Star Wars tradition going all the way back.

A) he appears to have the name in school and everywhere, in any possible canon or legend.
B) look to answer a
C) Unlikely. No one else in Star Wars has ever popped up with that last name. There are probably others, but like Smith seems a stretch, even for something impossible to fully measure like the SW universe.

Except they got lucky in 1980 and it worked out. Now everything is a mess with all this SW “lore”

If she figured it out, she did so after Leia escaped. She didn't know when she had her. So your argument doesn't really hold up.
But again, I don't think it matters either way.

Leia isn’t called Skywalker, and it was also before she had the added information.
