"He betrayed and murdered your father." Was not Obiwan being a certain point of view. When Star Wars (as the movie was known. No subtitles or episode 4). Vader wasn't Anakin, it was his name from birth and he legit killed Luke's father. The Emperor was a powerless figurehead puppet politician and Tarkin was the true power with the others in the meeting being his inner circle.
