The actor in the suit portraying Sir Vader (David Prowse) spoke Vader's
lines, to cue the actors around him. However, Sir Vader's *real* voice
(James Earl Jones) was dubbed in during post-production. That particular
scene on the catwalk was one of the very last items dubbed into the film.
So: David Prowse tells Mark Hamill that Ben Kenobi was Luke's dad, Hamill
has a fit and jumps to his character's dramatic rescue -- and at the wrap
party, people are remarking on the very strange turn of events in the
story. Meanwhile, Lucas and Jones are in a recording room, committing a
dark conspiracy that will change the face of science fiction forever, and no
one else is the wiser until opening night.
True story. I heard about it on Entertainment Tonight. :-P

| (...) Sorry, I wasn't clear: in the story, when does Darth Vader figure out who Luke Skywalker really is? Does he know at the beginning of TESB? Does he realize it partway through the film? Oh, never mind--I'll just watch it tonight. Steve (26 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Well, the part you left out is key - Prowse did NOT know he was going to be voiced over until the movie was released, or soon before. -- | Tom Stangl, Technical Support Netscape Communications Corp | | Please do not associate my personal views (...)
