63. The Secret That Shook The Galaxy: The Epic Story Behind The Empire Strikes Back’s Twist

You may be familiar with Darth Vader’s shocking reveal, but do you know the whole story?

For more than forty years, moviegoers and Star Wars fans have reacted to one of cinema’s greatest reveals of all time: five simple words that never made it into a script, but changed Lucas’ saga and movie-making forever.

And yet, two years before the film’s release, Darth Vader actor Dave Prowse seemingly announced the reveal to the general public.

How can this possibly be?

Join host David Quinn for a fascinating, in-depth look into the reveal — how it was created and composed, whether it had truly remained a secret, the group that knew about it before the film’s release, what Dave Prowse actually knew, and how it was received by audiences in 1980.
