Second, the fact that the skull works on LeChuck only proves that it's LeChuck's ancestor (of any relation), not Guybrush's father. How can Guybrush tell it's his parents just by looking at their skeletal remains? This isn't CSI. He says it is after like 1 second of looking at them.
Third, the "I am your brother" speech is an obvious rip-off of/reference to The Empire Strikes Back. It was most likely said for comedic value, not a plot device. It would be lame for the nature of Guybrush's eternal battle against LeChuck to hinge on a tired Star Wars reference, which is why the newer games don't pay attention to it.

It was just a theory of mine. Ron has since confirmed that it was meant to be a major story arc for the third game. The newer games do not pay attention to it because they were not made with Ron Gilbert's input, who had a different idea for the third game. I also don't think that logic plays that much of a role in Monkey Island. Guybrush said they were his parents and I wouldn't understand why Ron would have his characters say lines like that unless he is hinting at something going on in that scene.
