I love the stories of security on the SW sets.  In the TESB script, on the
soundstage, in everything, it was Ben Kneobi who was Luke's father; James
Earl Jones and Lucas were the *only ones* in the room when Lucas had JEJ
read those four fateful words.  (1)
Help me out here: at what point did Mr. Vader realize who Luke was?  Was
this shown in the TESB, or did it happen off-camera?

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

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.

(...) Yeah, but that was for A New Hope. I'm sure he figured out by the time he was filming Empire that he was going to be voiced over... "This time, they'll use my voice, for sure!" Eric (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
