Prowse and Lucas

Started by queeq2 pages

Very silly indeed.

I remember prowse saying he did not say the 'I am you father' line when shooting ESB untill he saw the film himself in the cinema .

Yeah, the line Prowse spoke on set was "No Luke, Obi-Wan killed your father".
Mind you, to be fair, nobody among the cast and crew knew about the twist at that point, except for Hamill who, allegedly, had been told of Vader's real dialogue moments before shooting that scene by Kershner.
It wasn't like Prowse alone was being kept in the dark there...

Exactly... he shouldn't whine. After all, he was part of THE plot twist of the century. Him not knowing was part of creating that moment.

Prowse speaking the lines??

i thought it was James Earl Jones.

He spoke lines on set that would be redubbed by Jones, but he never got THOSE lines to say. They were kept secret from nearly everyone.

Only Lucas, Kershner, Kurtz and Hamill knew as far as I know.

in fact james earl jones thought that vader was lying to get luke to the dark side

They made it work nicely.

Actually, so was I wehen ESB came out in 1980... I just wasn't sure this could actually be true.

indeed. how could this evil man/machine who killed obi wan and killed millions be his father

That still is one of the greatest plot twists in film history.
