Star Wars: Darth Vader's iconic 'I am your father' scene had secret unseen 'witness'
Star Wars fans will never forget The Empire Strikes Back. The 1980 film was one of the most highly-anticipated sequels of all time, following the runaway success of 1979’s Star Wars: A New Hope. During the film, viewers learned more than ever about the ancient and futuristic cult of the Jedi Knights. They also witnessed the harrowing event which saw Luke Skywalker (played by Mark Hamill) being told by the horrific Darth Vader (James Earl Jones) that he was his father all along.
While this cinematic event is legendary, it has now been revealed that there are some finer details in that scene which were not originally shown off.
The latest Star Wars book – From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back – was released last month, and celebrated the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back’s release.
The tome tells 40 stories set in and around the film, and gives some greater depth to the events that occurred throughout its two-hour runtime.
One of the biggest inclusions into the mythos is a story written by Adam Christopher – titled: The Witness – which expands on the iconic “I am your father” scene.
