Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell? God Almighty, the Creator was manifest in the flesh. He came into the world to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save yours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for your redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. This is the Gospel which means the Good News. Those that reject redemption will go to hell. John 1:1-3,10 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Isaiah 44:6 KJV Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Revelation 1:17-18 KJV And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. Acts 4:12 KJV Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. John 5:24 KJV Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Matthew 28:19-20 KJV Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

I always assumed that when Beru said that Luke was just like his father, and Owen answers that that's just what he's afraid of, that was our first hint in the trilogy that Vader was Luke's father. I guess it could have meant that Anakin was killed, and Owen was just afraid that Luke would get himself killed as well if he went away from home.

[@razorfett147]

It simply implied that originally there was meant to be a relationship between Owen and Anakin which Lucas retconned and threw out when he made the prequels. Neither Owen nor Beru knew Anakin was Darth Vader. Hell....they didnt know ANYTHING about Anakin. They met for all of one day. Certainly not long enough for Owen to have the young Jedi figured out. Ben's remark to Luke about about his uncle having a disagreement with Anakin about his getting involved in [the original] clone wars further cements this fact. None of this dialog makes any sense in the context of the prequels as Lucas presented them. Its just an artifact of an abandoned back story, unfortunately

Without knowing it David Prowse became the greatest character actor in history. His movements and mannerisms made the character of Darth Vader imposing and sinister.

[@DelightLovesMovies]

Darth Vaders voice became a part of the collective conscience when James Earl Jones lowered it and started speaking slower in the Empire Strikes Back. Darth Vader never felt more menacing than he did in that film. I should add I don't know if Irvin Kershner was the one who directed Jones to do that or if Mr Jones did that himself. Either way its a brilliant character. Thanks Behind Star Wars I love what you do.

[@seppecoomans5448]

[@FlowerofDissolution]

Not if you're an established actor and you've been kept in the dark about it. That's beyond rude. It undermines the trust between a director and his cast. And they could have just auditioned for an actor that was both tall and had the voice/acting skills to portray the character from the start. It is such a strange story how Vader came to be, eventually having a ton of people playing the part.

[@shanez1215]

FlowerofDissolution My guess is that they thought that if Prowse didn't know, he'd try his best at the gestures and movements, resulting in everything fitting together correctly.

[@FlowerofDissolution]

My personal guess is that the movie was never expected to be a hit and this guess was counted on. So, they didn't acquire the actors they really needed for the parts. The cast of Star Wars is shaky to say the least, if you think of it as a serious production. Not that I mind the original cast. But, I do understand the criticism from a film perspective as an adult. I think it is endearing and a win in the long run (talking about Luke and Leia), but hardly a calculation they wanted. They didn't expect SW1 to ever become a true trilogy. So, they didn't foresee the problems that occurred during SW3, when suddenly Darth Vader had to be unmasked + had to appear as a ghost.

However, Prowse did an interview for a magazine and revealed the entire storyline for Luke's parentage. Lucas, as punishment for Prowse doing that, recast that scene with Sebastian Shaw.

[@histguy101]

weallbfree It never showed up in the films, but it's in the screenplay, novelization, and a lot of merchandise back then.

[@petermanson3475]

Christus Regnet adding that it's in the Novelizations & Merchandise adds to his critique, in that there wasn't a lot of awe into him being a Sith in the originals. It was in the script drafts, but, does not appear in any of the first 3 films. He is just presented as a Jedi who turned to the dark side of the Force. They didn't give that a name or alternative concept. Adding one takes away from the complexity that a duel faceted aspect of being a Jedi is rather than Jedis vs Siths. This IMHO is one of the many failings of the draft & redraft process in which roles were completely altered before how they appeared in the films themselves, then returning to "prequel"s that never existed and trying to reconstitute things that had been altered. There is very little that's wrong with the continuity of the story in the first 3 films. Continuity became completely messed up with the way the prequels were told, and has since been obliterated by the Disney storylines, both in their advancement of the storyline messing with existing characters, and their back stories.

[@histguy101]

Peter Manson Star Wars is more than just movies. If you went out an watched Star Wars in the 70's, then picked up the novelization, you would learn Vaders full title: "Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith." If you were a kid, watched the movie, then went out and bought an action figure of him, you would learn his full title. It's not omitted from the movies for any conceptual reasons. It's simply a redundant title, and isn't necessary for the first movies. The Emperor's name is also omitted from the OT, but it's in the novelization for A New Hope. Explaining who the Sith are is necessary in the prequels, as Palpatine is a Sith, and the 3 films depict his rise to power, and his reasons.

[@cantfindawayout]

@weallbfree Yeah, I think not. But since Lucas already had the vision of how Darth Vader got his suit as early as 1977 (Not kidding, he actually gave an interview to Rolling Stones where he explained the volcano and lava thing) and Rule of Two as early as the third movie, I am pretty sure it was just because of redundancy.

[@petermanson3475]

Christus Regnet the novelizations aren't canon. Yes there's a whole mess of multimedia about Star Wars, but, the overwhelming amount of it wasn't true to Lucas' original vision for the story. Anakin Starkiller turned into Luke Skywalker, not Darth Vader. Darth Vader was already around. So, that whole Darth Vader is Luke's father didn't even exist until after ANH. Then, the prequel story wasn't written until the mid 1990s after the Thrawn Trilogy, and both as a reaction to them and influenced by them. No, the prequel story Lucas told didn't need to include the emphasis on the Sith, Rule of Two, etc. It should've actually been told entirely different, focusing instead on the Mace Windy Feast of the Pleabz and been like KotOR, then Darth Vader should've just taken over and established the Empire, then focused on Luke and his friends growing up on Tatooine and the Starfleet Academy. There was more to it than wasting the story on this stupid Darth Plagueis the Wise crap.

While much of the evolution of Vader I was already aware of, I enjoyed seeing the early draft pics. It goes to show how much movies are a process as opposed to everything being cut and dry. Very nice video. Also - and you probably already know this - but Joseph Campbell's work had a huge influence on Lucas and his development of the story. Lucas became good friends with Campbell, and often discussed with him as to whether or not he was "getting the story right," as he was trying to in part, make a modern myth. Campbell's "the Hero With A Thousand Faces," was an enormous influence on Lucas.

[@speedracer2008]

The 2004 documentary, Star Wars: Empire of Dreams, mentions the influence of Joseph Campbell’s works on the characters George Lucas decided to use in Star Wars, such as the idealistic hero (Luke), cynical antihero (Han Solo), and old mentor (Obi-Wan) archetypes.

[@gasaholic47]

@@speedracer2008 Yes, I've seen it, and read much of Campbell's work. In "The Power of Myth" PBS series with Bill Moyers and Campbell, Campbell offered a lot of praise on Lucas.

The earlier scenes In *Rogue One* of Vader were great but actually seeing our favorite villain in all his ruthlessness was a real treat for us all, and the tie-in of *Rogue One* taking us right up to the opening sequence of *A New Hope*.

[@fosty.]

The best? No. One of the best? Yes.

It's amazing how all of these things got refined and put into their perfect place to resemble what we know today. Don't get me wrong, even if the original draft with all of the McQuarrie art was the Star Wars that got made, it still would have been this awesome, wild, unique thing that I feel would still be very big and iconic, but it seems like some very specific things got refined nicely. Instead of giving the good guy the cyborg parts and just making it this general cyberpunk thing, I like that the idea was refined to the point where he was able to see tragedy in the idea of needing the cyborg parts at all...and that maybe that tragedy should be leant to a father/son fallen from grace story rather than just a fashionable thing for the universe.

[@christophersharman4818]

If you look closely at 1:50 when he turns his head, you can see the actor's eyes through the helmet ;)

[@rigatonipasta]

Yeah, stuff like that happened a lot. He has fingerprints on his helmet in ANH

[@nigelio3]

Good decision, that scene at the end of Rogue One turned out to be maybe the best scene in the entire Star Wars saga.

[@buffoonustroglodytus4688]

If you seriously think that then I find it hard to believe that you have much appreciation for the franchise. It certainly was the only worthwhile scene of rouge one but out of all of star wars it's really pointless. It's just a mindless action scene.

[@ThisHandleSystemCanGetNicked]

Sir Gus the Mighty It really doesn't matter if its just a mindless action scene, its still a cool scene regardless. My problem with it is that it feels watered down.

[@jasonkoch3182]

Actually, it is completely out of character for Vader. Keep in mind that, in the chronology, the next time Darth Vader appears on scene is when the Tantive IV is captured. And rather than see him bust in alone and continue this rampage, he sends in stormtroopers before entering. He never acts at all again the way he does in the final scene of Rogue One. So while yes, it is an awesome scene, it's a really bad interpretation of Vader's character.

[@jetnut89]

@@jasonkoch3182 I'm glad I'm not the only one with that thought.

[@priscillajimenez27]

@@jasonkoch3182 true but at the same time I wonder if Vader was portrayed that way back then because of the lack of technology and special effects back then to today. Since we have it now, the makers utilized it

[@getaskill8454]

Great footage and editing. Awesome production of material. Thank you.

[@HomeBudgetComputing]

Factually incorrect. Mark Hamill himself has said he was told months beforehand about Vader being Luke's father. He said he hated knowing because he hated trying to keep a secret.

[@michaelsierra9]

Behind Star Wars You do outstanding work bro! Even better and more detailed than what's included in blu ray special editions. If you apply for work there you should instantly get hired. Thank you for all the videos you put out for all us fans, greatly appreciated!

[@BehindStarWars]

Thanks Michael! I think I speak for all of us when I say making professional Star Wars content would be an absolute dream, ha. Thanks again

[@michaelsierra9]

Behind Star Wars It absolutely would be a dream come true for all us fans. But i still stand by what i said about you being hired, i wasn't kidding. 👍🏻👌🏻😀

[@burntbacn]

I actually met David Prowse once, it was a couple years ago when I was staying at a hotel for a convention (can't remember the name) and he just happened to be staying there, too. The actor for Boba Fett was also there.

[@Philipp3022]

they were hunting rebel scum

[@jakkuwolfinsomnia8058]

It’s amazing how so many great stories and movies and franchises all seem to have a backstory of not being much of anything. Back to the Future almost never happened too. The fact George wanted Darth Vader to die at the end of A New Hope was just incredible, how the whole movie franchise fitted together is incredible

[@11sonicmoooo]

Great video. Loved all the info!!!

[@yaboinicola]

Song in the background is called "Star Wars - The Imperial March (DJ AG Remix)" I had to look for it 😂 It just sounded too epic. I couldn't resist

[@witha1]

just call vader to come to you and it will play when he enters your room

[@yaboinicola]

@@witha1 wow, that would be awesome 🤩 Do you have his phone number? I wanna try that! 😁

[@MazeCuber]

Dude cool video keep on the good work

[@kenamaro3942]

I met Dave Prowse, talked with him for several minutes and he signed two 8x10 pics for me. I gave one pic to my daughter who's sense lost it , I still have mine prominently displayed in my living room. This was in the early 90s. Dave was very nice and seemed to enjoy our brief chat. RIP Dave Prowse-

[@SanJuanCreole]

Beautiful History!!! Thanks for this! I love this channel

[@CaptainMyCaptain33]

I always thought the part where Vaders tie fighter just gets flicked out of the trench was hilarious. Still is. Boing. Later! Oh and it's the only scene in all of Star Wars you can see Anakins eyeball under the mask as he is spinning around. When I see that scene now a days I don't think it is as weird as it was as a kid but think "whoa Anakins eyeball!" Ha

[@dangertube9198]

Why are you whispering? You recording this narration while at work or something?

[@tylermcewan3274]

I love how half the comments are just roasting how quiet his voice is

[@mullcrumthesage6303]

That scene in Rogue One with Vader at the end was better than episode 7, 8 and 9 put together.

[@ronineditor9920]

:24 - Nobody noticed that it says, "This is the story of MACE 'WINDY'..."

[@F1JV]

Says he was a Jedi-bender...well that stayed "kind of" consistent seeing that Mace Windu had a Purple Lightsaber(Blend of Blue and Red/Light and Dark Side of The Force). It would have been SO INTERESTING if Lucas' Sequel Trilogy had been developed...to get background/story of the Whills.

[@emkkahn]

I read that as Mace "Windry"... I could be wrong, but that's what I saw.... Maybe, "Everyone knows it's Windy".....lol

[@Throwmethewhip]

Most impressive

[@72Yonatan]

I had not realized so many actors were involved in creating the Darth Vader persona for the screen over six films. I thought three only were involved, and now I realize it is half a dozen or more.

[@MrARRMP]

Thank you for this insightful video :)

[@banjobill8420]

Man I remember seeing Revenge of the Sith 3 times when I was five

[@Idreallyrathernotthanks]

you're a fetus

[@dhalsim-1]

I saw it 5 times when I was 3.

[@Sapsche]

I saw it once. It was too much.

[@theoppenheimerprojects2867]

I had read that Rogue One was up for numerous re shoots during filming; Disney saying that the film felt too "war" like. This thought always angered me, but now that I know that Kennedy was a main part of that AMAZING and EPIC Darth Vader ending, we cool Disney...we cool.

[@jennifursun3303]

liked the lady who played the herione

[@strat5520]

The new movies are trash. Utter garbage. Insulting to the whole premise of the story, characters, and spirit of a piece of American popculter that people have waited 40 years to see. Ruined and destroyed.

[@minroh4753]

Ryan Oppenheimer Star “Wars”

[@HolyBackboard]

Too each their own. Didn't like Episode 8 much, but liked TFA and Rogue One. Trash seems a bit harsh to me though. Even if you don't agree with the story, the movies are at least decent in and of themselves.

[@justinsimpson2335]

Too war-like? The title has WARS in it!

[@dionanderson86]

This could pass as asmr telling you about Star Wars lol good vid 💯 to watch while in lockdown
