Purely speculation, but probably because a repurposed astromech droid, unlike a protocol droid, would neither have nor need the programming to understand human familial relationships.

Does R2 know that Anakin=Vader? He stuck with Anakin post heel turn but Anakin’s dark deeds aren’t committed in his presence and I’m not sure if the new name is ever used in his hearing either Anyway even if he does know, he’s probably too scared to bring it up. Remember Luke and Leia, who were sword wizards with godlike power, both knew Rey was the daughter of Triclops and didn’t bother tell her till after both of them were safe from all reprisal thanks to being dead

It's not actually popular knowledge that Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker. He's wearing a mask and going by a different name. R2-D2 wasn't even there to see how Anakin died, he and Obi-Wan just went hopping and jumping out into the lava fields of Mustafar and only Obi-Wan came back. R2-D2 could've maybe pieced together that Luke was Anakin's son if he recognized the Lars family something like 30 years after meeting them the first time, but he was too busy with his mission and didn't give a poo poo about some farmers. He just tricked their idiot farmboy son so he could run off. And then after Obi-Wan tells Luke about his father, I guess R2 just never cares to make clear his relationship with Anakin. For all we know, he may make offhand comments, but C-3PO never bothers to translate (which 3PO never knows what's going on, he even turned himself off when Obi-Wan was doing his exposition). R2-D2 is an old droid who does not give a gently caress.

The first Legends books after Episode 3 came out had Luke watching a bootleg camrip of the movie that R2 was hiding on his hard drive, so it seems like at least in that continuity, R2 knew what was up, but just didn't want Luke to know all the details.

I genuinely think the answer is that R2 is acting under the guiding hand of the force throughout most of a new hope, and indeed throughout his entire monumental lil' droid life. Everything that happened to create darth vader was culminating in the moment that luke convinced him to chuck grandpa palpatine off a balcony because that is how the force willed those events to occur, even to the point of explicitly sending false visions of the future to both anakin and luke to bring this to pass and then I guess after all of that something something Rey Palpatine Skywalker happened.

The Force was always (post)-Calvinist God. Lucas was raised as a Methodist, and Methodism is part of the Arminian theological tradition which is basically “whoa, we like most of what John Calvin is doing but it makes us sad when he says God is an all-controlling Lovecraftian monster and free will doesn’t exist”. The Arminian answer to these points is conditional election. ie, God’s perfect knowledge leads him to know who will choose to accept the grace of Christ and be saved. This emphasis on individual choice according with the will (or whills) of God is also exactly what we find in Star Wars. Vader or Luke or whoever is not simply fated to be good or evil, they must choose this. The force is with them, however, so that even if they have previously been evil as hell, upon choosing to do the right thing at last (such as throw their boss down a hole) they are saved.

This is pretty much along the lines of what I'm saying except slather on a bit of "and the force, knowing which hearts will be receptive under which conditions, opts to have an entire planet destroyed to bring this occurrence about along with most of the stuff involving r2d2"

The Millennium Falcon was actually inserted into Star Trek: First Contact as an easter egg (since ILM was also working on the Special Editions at the time):  A fan (who was later hired to design ships for Star Trek Online) also made a video detailing what the ship might "actually" look like in the Star Trek universe.

Apparently it's intended to be a "phaser repeater" that can bounce phaser fire around for multi-vector attacks without needing a bunch of high-powered warships, or extend the range of shorter range weapons.
