This key scene in Episode 4 (arguably the most important scene in all seven movies) even includes Obi Wan’s misdirection about Luke’s father, a narrative trick repeated in The Force Awakens.

This wasn’t a misdirection when the movie was written. There were no plans for a sequel or for any of the “I am your father” business when Star Wars was first released. That plot twist was added in Ep V, with the whole “Luke can’t handle the truth” excuse added to retrofit the story into what was already released.
