I Hear A Rumor About Anikin

I wonder why GL didn't feel like he could trust his actors..Its seems a bit paranoid..but on the other hand it worked for keeping people from finding out..still seems crazy though.

No that's wrong JW. Hammil found out when he had to rehearse beofre filming. When he was told he thought that Vader was lying to tempt Luke away and that's the same reaction that James Earl Jones had.

One of the issues of SW magazine (uk) has an interview with Irvin Kershner and he says he didn't tell Mark Hammil until just before filming because he thought it would effect how he played the part.

He also praised Hammils acting in those scenes because he was dangling from the end of the platform, with strong fans blowing wind in his face and he couldn't hear what David Prowse was saying.

Um, so he was told or wasn't.???

I'm referencing a video interview with Mark, he said he had no idea. That may well mean he was told later that Vader was lying. But as Prowse also said, those lines never came up during filming so Mark would not need to be told Vader was lying unless he was lying about killing Han and/or Leia..

And I'm sure it was difficult to do that scene too. I can just imagine.

Dim:

That was for the same reason as ROTJ was named Blue Harvest during filming, in those days you were paid A LOT for a tip about a movie. AND ANH was already a big hit, so any tip about ESB would be well payed

Yes, I can see your point.

JW I'm confused as well now. But that's definatley what Irvin Kershner said.

And Luke saw Han and Leia in the corridors of Cloud City so he knew they weren't dead. And of course he contacted Leia at the end so again he knew she wasn't dead.

KJ something to think about:

He saw Leia and the others; with Leia saying it's a trap, after that Luke fought Vader, in between there wold be plenty of time for killing the others. For Hamill seeing Leia again would mean that Vader lied.

Nope. During the end battle Luke says "he told me enough, he told me you killed him". It's obvious from this line that Vader was talking about how Obi-Wan lied about his father.

Then you have the end where Luke is saying to himself "Ben, why didn't you tell me". It's all about Vader being his father.

I thought that someone on this thread said that his lips didn't move correctly... don't know, didn't checked

They do move correctly, because Mark Hammil said those lines.

Yep, you are correct I guess

As far as I know, David Prowse thought the line was:

'Obi-Wan is your father'

Could Mark have thought this as well? It fits.

Why does Mark/Luke respond with father ,to Vader, inside the Falcon after his escape?

Like I said. those lines were added after filming. In editing and what they call looping.

They shot the film out of order so the fight could have been at any time. THe actors didnt get full copys of the script, just the parts they were in.

And like I said before David Prowse also said he didnt say those lines so Mark wouldnt have necessarly know that. ANd yes. His lips arent synced all the time. Watch that scene again

You're correct, not entirely synch
