Darth Vader : Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father. Luke Skywalker : He told me enough! He told me you killed him! Darth Vader : No. I am your father! Answer: The short, short answer to this is "Yes Just to make things more complicated, there is yet another character, a villain by the name of " Darth Vader " that is a human Imperial officer like Grand Moff Tarkin.
It may be a stretch to count all that as "Darth Vader was always the father" but the pieces were all there, at least. These were found in the archives for The Empire Strikes Back , but they are undated and we don't know if they were written before Star Wars and carried forward, or if they were written afterward. In the rush of completing the film, the potential hazard had been overlooked, but Lucas was never one to miss an opportunity for improvement. ILM effects cameraman Ken Ralston could hardly believe the news either.
When he got the news about the additions, he recalled to J. In the original 70mm release, the camera begins by moving forward amidst the rebel fleet, revealing the Millennium Falcon docked to the medical frigate, then cuts to Lando and Chewbacca aboard the ship. But the first of the new shots added another view of the fleet before going aboard the Falcon : a few X-wings and a Y-wing pass from behind the camera, followed on opposite sides by the frigate and a transport likely one of the escapees from Hoth.
Still before glimpsing Lando and Chewie, a second new shot moves in close on the Millennium Falcon , lowering to view the cockpit with illuminated interior. Only then does it match the cut of the original release. Lando and company arrive too late as Fett's ship takes off, then engage in a fierce battle with stormtroopers. Luke and Vader continue the duel in the darkened rooms of the Cloud City. Luke didn't follow Han's sad fate when he fell into the freezing mine, but he manages to jump out of it with the help of the Force a moment before Vader activates the freezing system.
The fight continues. Vader uses the Dark Side of the Force, hurling everything that comes to hand at Luke: equipment, construction elements and furniture. One of the items breaks the window, creating a vacuum. Luke is quickly pulled out and the fight moves to the emergency platform.
As the gunfight continues, Lando orders an evacuation of Cloud City before the arrival of the main forces of the Empire, then the rebel company manages to find their last hope of escape On the emergency platform of the Cloud City, Luke and Vader continue the duel. Vader knocks Luke off his feet and invites him to surrender so that he won't let himself be killed, like Obi-Wan. However, the young man is not yet defeated and continues to fight. During the duel over the abyss, Luke beats Vader with his saber in his right shoulder, slightly damaging his dark armor.
Vader is furious and cuts Luke's right hand holding a lightsaber the hand and the saber fall into the abyss. Then he reveals to Luke the fatal truth about his father:.
Luke does not want to believe what he heard, and accuses Vader of lying, but he advises the young man to listen to his own heart, and thus understand that this is pure truth. Shocked and frightened by the cruel truth, Luke falls into despair, still not wanting to believe what he heard. Vader invites the young man to reunite with him in order to destroy the Emperor together and rule the galaxy as a father and son.
However, Luke chooses suicide over being corrupted and throws himself down a deep shaft. Luke is sucked into an air vent, exits the underbelly of the city and catches an antenna beneath Cloud City.
Facing clear death, Luke calls out to Ben Kenobi in vain Kenobi had warned Luke that he would not be able to help Luke once he faced Vader. Then, he calls out to the only other one who could help Leia mysteriously senses Luke's telepathic distress signal.
The Falcon turns around and comes back to Cloud City. Using an escape hatch, Lando manages to catch Luke and rescue him before the wounded Jedi falls helplessly to the planet as TIE Fighters race toward them.
The Falcon finally leaves Bespin's gravitational field and is about to escape into hyperspace when the hyperdrive system again fails as it turns out - this is the work of the imperial specialists, as reported by the city computer R2-D2. Vader asks for confirmation that the Millennium Falcon ' s hyperdrive system was deactivated to prevent their escape, then orders weapons be set to stun.
As the Imperials pursue the Falcon , the injured Luke telepathically hears the voice of Vader calling to him. He answers, "Father Luke senses it is Vader, then cries, "Ben, why didn't you tell me? However, with quick ingenuity, R2 manages to re-activate the Falcon ' s hyperdrive system just in time for the ship to flee to hyperspace.
Vader is disappointed and retreats to his secret quarters in his Star Destroyer, ignoring Piett's failure. The film ends on a EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate at the Rebel fleet's rendezvous point, where Luke under the care of B again which includes the implantation of a prosthetic hand.
Lando and Chewbacca begin their parts of a most dangerous mission Lando promises to Leia they'll bring her back the man she loves. Luke, Leia, and the droids look on as the Falcon departs for unknown territories. Lucas hired screenwriter Leigh Brackett to write a screenplay based on his story treatment. Brackett finished the first draft on February 23, , but she died soon afterwards.
According to Lucas, he did not like the direction in which her screenplay went. Without a writer to fix it, he was forced to write the second draft himself throughout March. One of the most notable changes was making Vader Luke's father.
After some additional input, the shooting script was finally formed. Minor changes to dialogues came from Kershner and actors throughout the filming and were mostly approved by Lucas.
He said he based Yoda's face on his own face and added some of Albert Einstein's facial features to it. Filming lasted from March 5 until September 24 , During the production, the film went seriously over-budget and over-schedule. To secure the additional money required to complete the film, Lucas was forced to approach 20th Century Fox to negotiate a deal. The studio received more profit from the film while in exchange it guaranteed the loan.
Despite this Lucas managed to retain the sequel and merchandising rights. The special event was dubbed "Empire Day," a playful take on the British Commonwealth Day holiday known as Empire Day prior to , where legions of stormtroopers were unleashed across the city.
The film went on to official general release in North America and the U. The first wave of release included 70 mm prints of the film, [2] before a wider release in June which were mostly 35 mm prints. A novelization of the film was written by Donald F. Glut and was published on April 12, The film was adapted into comics form by Marvel Comics as part of their ongoing Star Wars series. Released in six parts issues 39 to 44 , the adaptation was scripted by Archie Goodwin and illustrated by Al Williamson.
Years later, a manga adaptation illustrated by Toshiki Kudo was released in Japan in and in the United States in Kenner launched a toyline based on the film. A radio drama adaptation was written by Brian Daley and produced for broadcast on National Public Radio in Along with the other two films of his original trilogy, George Lucas issued a Special Edition of The Empire Strikes Back in , making a number of changes and additions , including replacing a piece of music from the closing scene.
On September 21 , the three original movies were finally released on DVD. There have been a few further minor changes to the film on this release—such as sound effects and improvements to the visual quality of the film. One highly noticeable change involving visually quality improvement is that the odd pink glow was removed from the Cloud City entrance scene, where the Cloud Car was replaced with a Tibanna refinery in the theatrical version.
Originally, Palpatine was portrayed by a woman wearing a mask with a chimpanzee's eyes superimposed over her own, with an elder male's voice dubbed in later. Clive Revill , who performed Palpatine's voice, and Marjorie Eaton , who portrayed Palpatine physically, were both replaced with Ian McDiarmid , who would eventually be cast for the same role in Return of the Jedi and all three prequels. However, Revill's name still appeared in the movie's credits as the voice actor for Palpatine.
McDiarmid re-recorded the dialogue with James Earl Jones and they both added more lines for this scene. Another addition was Temuera Morrison providing the voice for Boba Fett , further establishing the fact that Boba is indeed a clone of Jango Fett.
In addition to multiple home video re-releases, the film underwent numerous theatrical re-releases. The trilogy was re-released on separate two-disc Limited Edition DVD sets from September 12 , to December 31 , ; the original versions of the films were added as bonus material. Controversy surrounded the release because the unaltered versions were from the non- anamorphic Laserdisc masters, and were not retransferred with modern video standards.
Fox was also to retain theatrical, nontheatrical, and home video rights worldwide for the franchise's five subsequent films, which Lucasfilm produced and financed independently, through May , at which time ownership was to transfer to Disney. This complex relationship between Fox and Disney, particularly in regards to Fox's perpetual rights to Episode IV, was to create an obstacle for any future boxed set comprising all nine films.
The film's 40th Anniversary was celebrated with official posters by Matt Ferguson. The films were also each given a new poster, with Episode V's poster having an overall light blue color scheme. The Empire Strikes Back initially received mixed reviews. The Empire Strikes Back is merely one half of the story, and you're going to have to see Return of the Jedi to witness its conclusion. After losing the duel, his hand, and his mind , Luke throws himself from the balcony where he fought Vader and manages to grab hold of an antenna before falling to oblivion.
He then telepathically contacts Leia a hint that the pair are siblings who picks him up in the Falcon and they escape Bespin with the Empire in hot pursuit. From there, we see our heroes re-establishing themselves: Luke gets himself a brand new artificial hand, while Lando and Chewie take the Falcon to rescue Han from the clutches of Jabba the Hutt.
That's it.
