How does Darth Vader know Luke is his son?

In one of the final scenes of Episode III, Lord Vader rises and asks about Padme. The Emperor, being the manipulative and sadistic bastard he is, tells Anakin/Vader that he killed her, not that she died in childbirth. Vader screams, "NOOOOOOOO!" He sounds like he believes the Emperor to me.
In Padme's giant funeral precession, she's in an open casket and still looking very pregnant. Her children are separated and placed with Bail Organa and Uncle Owen in secrecy.
In Return of the Jedi (or maybe it was Empire Strikes Back", Darth Vader tells Luke "I am your father." How does Vader know? He can't be reading Luke's mind with the Force, because presumably Luke doesn't know himself. If he did, he wouldn't be hardlegging his sister. (Although I'm sure it was lonely growing up in the middle of a desert.)
Enlighten me, you Star Wars Masters.

Because his last name was Skywalker
Like Anakin Skywalker

Which brings up a whole different discussion on the wisdom of Obi Wan’s plan, but I digress

Because despite the world of Star Wars going across literal galaxies, everyone in the story is related to someone else in the story

Boba Fett tells him the name of the pilot that destroyed the Death Star is Skywalker.

Because the OT is a really flawed trilogy. But Star Wars fans act like the films are perfection.

He put it together. Obi Wan being reunited with Vader right before Luke shows up and Vader's ability to sense the force in his interactions with Luke leading up to it. They also have the same fricking last name, which might be a hint.

He was also chilling with Obi Wan and Skywalker may be like Smith in the Star Wars universe. It may be an idea that is so stupid it just has to work.

Because Vader did it with basically everyone's mom, so the odds were on his side.

Sorry. I'm operating under the premise that I'm one of the last people on the planet to see the Star Wars movies. And if we haven't seen them yet, it's fair to assume that we aren't too worried about spoilers. I knew Darth Vader was Luke's father about 30 years ago.

Through the force he sensed it.

When you put it like that, I feel a little bit stupid.
I swear to God, the whole "they have the same last name" thing never occurred to me when I was making the thread! As Homer says ...
D'OH!!!

No shite. Give the baby a nom de guerre. Call him Luke Desertdweller or something. Or maybe even Uncle Owen's last name, like Leia became an Organa. That would have been a good idea!

Last name, Obi-Wan... plus
During the trench run Vader comments “the force is strong with this one”. When he reveals the truth to Luke, Luke flips out. After his “nooo! it can’t be true” tantrum Vader tells him “search your feelings, you know it to be true”.
