dows anybody know this..?

the famous "Luke, I Am Your Father!" line that Darth Vader says was not the original line

Since David Prowse <sp? got jipped and he found out he was not the vader voice, when he or who ever it was in the suit, said that famous line, originaly, the person in suite said from in the script was "Luke, Obiwan killed your father!" and thats why luke is crying like a little b!tch, so when james earl jones voiced over the darth vader lines, gl told james earl jones to change the line to "Luke, I am your father!"....

sources...my brother told me, ill find out where he heard this....

Yes in an interview with Mark Hamill he has stated this in fact I just re-read the interview a few days ago when he talked about the same thing..

Do you know thats not even the line he says......
its "No. I am your father." lol

oo sorry lol

I thought Prowse was told to say that line because he was a motor mouth and would have babbled to the press about the twist, only Lucas, Hamill and Jones actually knew the twist, hence, why no-one saw it coming.

So it wasn't the original line, it was a fake, a cover-up.

So they "jiped" Prowse because he was a blabber mouth?
Nice!

Yes indeed. GL kept this stuff very secret and Prowse was not in on it.

That's hilarious......feel bad for him though....

It makes sense though, Vader saying Obi-wan killed your father, and the reaction that Luke makes...it does fit well, but I do like how it was finalized better..."No, I am your father."

Lol, Lucas was a bit sneaky there indeed...but it worked I guess.

Its true he did originally say "Obi Wan killed your father" but thats only because Lucas wanted to keep the secret that darth vader was lukes father. It was just lucas's clever way from keeping the big secret from getting out.

Deal with it.

I think that's been established, no? But good repeat post. Never get enough of them.

NO!!! the original line was "obiwan killed your father!!!"
GL only used the line to keep the plot twist a secret!!!

(just f'n with you guys)

ok, prowse said "no obiwan killed your father"
jones voiced over "no, i am your father"

only lucas, hammil and kershner<sp? (empire director) knew

point settled

NO MOONWALKER YOU ARE WRONG!!!!

its was PROWSE who said "no, obiwan killed your father,
and JONES who said"no, i am your father.

nobody knew except for hammil, lucas and kershner!!!




repeat posts rule!!!

Shall I repeat it one more time then?

what aboiut teh rumour that the line was 'No Obi wan is your father...?' Just a rumour or does this have a basis in fact?

Wayne...

thats just rumor

If the line was originally 'Obi Wan killed your father' and Lucas wanted to keep it a big secret up to the point of the films release (actually he, J.E. Jones and the sound guy were the only ones that new of the twist) can someone explain the contradiction to that theory that is created when Luke is saved by Leia in the Falcon? While laying down in the Falcon, Luke is arisen by Vader's "Luke.." and then clearly, visually says "...father", and Vader, "....son". Unless that piece was filmed in complete secrecy with only Lucas behind the camera filming Hamill, and J.E Jones on the mic, any other possible scenario is invalid. And what about the editing team? Wouldn't they know of the twist as well?

I have searched and searched for evidence of this contradiction and am unable to locate anything addressing it, indicating it is quite possibly just juice used to generate unnecessary hype around what is already one of the most amazing and dramatic scenes in cinematic history.

Mark Hamill also knew what the original line was going to be. I mean, that would be kinda important.

I bet Prowse responded to Hamill's yell in the likes of: now, now, that's a bit overacted, isn't it...
