I watch reactions for this maybe once a year and 99% of them the people already know. but the thing is, we have to remember these movies are approaching 50 years old. This is like when we were young in the 70s and 80s, watching a movie from the 20s or 30s. We knew nothing about those movies. So apply that logic today, you can still find people who haven't known. We sit here thinking it should be common knowledge. I mean... it's almost 50 years. It's been too long.

[@ericjanssen394]

I was in the majority of the audience, gleefully suspecting evil Sith plots, and wanting to shout back, “Don’t be a freakin’ idiot, Luke, what did you THINK he would tell you! 😆” Y’know, the same reaction James Earl Jones had when he first read the script.

[@mamalannightshyaman]

starting to be skeptical of the people in these comments talking about how they saw this in the theaters. This twist was hugely mocked by movie critics and the movie was panned. It got the prequel treatment until Rotj came out and was more of a cult classic. It took years for empire to get the credit it deserved

This was such a closely guarded secret, that only a handful of people in the cast knew this, and then, ONLY at the end. When James Earl Jones read the script, he looked up shocked, and immediately said, "No! He's lying. He has to be lying."

They told Mark Hamill and they said, if anyone finds out we'll know it came from you. Harrison asked Mark why the f'ck you didn't tell me. Mark knew if he told Carrie, the world would find out.

Yep, then we had to wait years for the next chapter.

[@tenjed4224]

@valek005 the cruelty of it all. That is the reason I left the theater after 10 minutes, when first seeing Fellowship of the Ring. I decided then not to do to myself what I did with 4-6 of Star Wars. I chose to wait until Return of the King was released, and went to a theater that was holding all 3 on the same day. I knew that was going to happen. I just did not expect it to be the first full weekend of Return.

[@MrTech226]

I remember reading that Mark Hamill had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with LucasFilm prior to this famous scene, and Mark waited nearly 18 months until Empire Strikes Back premiered in 1980. Harrison Ford and other cast mates were surprised of the "twist". Harrison even says to Mark, "Hey kid!" "Why didn't you tell me?!" after the film ended

[@MGower4465]

Per stories at the time, all copies of the script except two actually read "Obi Wan killed your father". Even David Prowse, physically playing Vader, had false dialog so he could make the gestures desired, but did not know the reveal. James Earl Jones knew, if course, so did Hamill. And Hamill had a doctored script like the others until just befire this scene, so in case Hsmill left his script laying around, anybody reading it would also not see the twist. So far as I know, neither of the real scripts was ever on the market, but they would bring a lot of money.

[@shukei26]

@@MrTech226 yeah I was told it was scripted as "Obi Wan killed your father" then during editing that had the now late James Earl Jones read the actual line....

Still blows my mind that they made a sequel to the biggest movie of all time that was a fun story of a young hero who saves a princess and wins the battle against the evil villain and instead of doing it again (which is what the audience was expecting). Had the bad guys win and laid on the biggest plot twist in cinema history. The bad guys winning just didn’t really happen in cinema back then. So to do it in the sequel to the biggest movie of all time was so brave. So perfect. Top 5 greatest movie of all time.

I'm a little skeptical about 2 things 1:) This twist has been the forefront of pop culture for decades, and I have a hard time believing a lot of these reactors didn't know 2:) People in the comments saying they saw this in the theaters and everyone was super shocked. In reality, this twist was panned when it happened. Empire Strikes Back got the prequel treatment when it was released and this twist actually turned people off. It took a few years and ROTJ for people to come around on Empire strikes back, so I also have a hard time believing people in the comments talking about how they saw this in the theaters. It's like 20 years from now, everyone saying Attack of the Clones is the best star wars movie and how everyone who saw it in the theaters couldn't believe what happened and they were in shock. Did everyone who saw empire in the theaters just forget how much it was initially panned and disliked?

Even though this movie came out in the 70s this younger generation never knew Luke's father only in memes or other television shows. But back then the public was so amazed at the Darth Vader and Luke characters George Lucas decided to do a back story of the origins of Darth Vader.

really feel sympathy with you for watching all these young kids just figuring this out lol

EVERYONE KNOWS THIS LINE. Even if you’ve never seen Star Wars, you know this line. Respect to the reactors that acknowledged it. The ones that acted surprised are straight up acting. Maybe not all but there’s a few that are clear acting. I only say this because it’s the most famous line/movie scene of all time.

What a view to have.

Okay seeing my favorite Indian reactors in reactor comps has me sent. holy shit they've made it. I am so fucking happy for them! They've made it!

How do I get rid of the tech support in the corner?

[@jamesgibas2836]

James Earl Jones as Darth Vader and Luke's old man hell yes

[@ottoww289]

The fact some of them didn’t know that is so crazy

This is why Star Wars should be watched starting with Episode 3, in the order of the theatrical releases. You miss out on this moment watching from Ep. 1.

Element when this film came out the internet wasn’t around for spoilers

I was 3 or 4 years old I cried when Luke's hand was sliced.
