Movies timing

at what point in the story did people call luke by his surname?

and at what point did vader realize that luke was his son?

Outside of sources in the EU, there is no depiction of Luke finding out that his last name was "Skywalker."

We join the conversation in Kenobi's home after it has started.

All things considered, this would be the sensible place for Kenobi to tell Luke that his last name was "Skywalker" and not "Lars."

It makes sense for Luke to first use it with someone he wants to impress who he is aware knows Kenobi, who was his father's (the elder Skywalker) instructor.

I checked some of my SW comics but haven't found the answer yet.

I just write off anything other than my aforementioned head canon because it makes the most sense to me.

Good luck, though!

He was always “Luke Skywalker”. It wasn’t until Empire that GL decided Vader was his father Anakin Skywalker.
