At the box office, it netted $290,271,960 in the U.S.<ref>http://www.the-numbers.com/features/starwars.php</ref> The film is also best known for the revelation of Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker's father. During production, a false line was inserted, ''"You don't know the truth, Obi-Wan killed your father."'' Moments before the scene was filmed, director Irvin Kirshner told Mark Hamill that Darth Vader would tell Luke he is his father. He would go on to say that David Prowse would use the false line, and that Hamill essentially ignore it, and pretend he had said the line intended. The line, ''"No, I am your father,"'' would later be placed in the film during post-production, being said by James Earl Jones. |
