everyone voting no is lying, obviously.

I remember it the right way, if only because I actually remember the context of the scene, rather than just going around spouting random memetic nonsense I've heard other people say third-hand.

"Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father..."

"He told me enough! He told me YOU killed him!"

"No. -I- am your father."

I like to think that the miss quoting started due to lack of context. Just saying "I am your father." doesn't give a lot of context to the scene if your just spouting a line. But by adding "Luke" it gives context to the reference your making.

Couple that with people probably seeing the movie once, and hearing the supposed line many times you can see why this would happen.

Like people saying "Spinning in ones grave." That's not really correct. Its just "Turn in ones grave." or "Rollover in ones grave." To give the expression that the person in the grave would be shocked at what has been said or done that they would turn away.
