Estate of Dave Prowse - Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - Mr Prowse's original production used rehearsal script pages from The Empire Strikes Back. The white pages (white denoting a rehearsal script) run to 20pp, and feature all of Vader's lines / scenes for the film - it is not a complete script. The pages are all stamped ' SW2D1078x00031 ' - the '1078' likely the date code for October, 1978. The script contains the original planned dialogue for Vader, much of which changed in the final screen version, but some lines do remain unaltered. Perhaps most famously, this script contains the scene for the final and famous ending scene where Luke plummets down the shaft after having his arm cut off by Vader and following the famous 'No, I am your Father' line - but as this important factor was such a secret from the cast, that exact line does not appear in the script, instead alternate dialogue is used and a simple not 'Insert B - Dialogue Added Here' is made, hiding this climactic plot twist. The script features the character name 'Vader' to the front page and each page is numbered to the corner. Retains bits original staples, however the last (and arguably most important page) is loose. The script remains generally in very good production used order, with some marks and wear - especially to the front page. Darth Vader is perhaps the most iconic and best known villains in popular culture, and The Empire Strikes Back is often voted the most-loved film in the franchise - to have something that was used during production, by Mr Prowse, is a unique opportunity and a vitally important part of cinema history. NB: it was long thought by the Prowse family that he was only ever given one script (sold previously in our Estate of Dave Prowse Auction in May, 2021), however this script has since been discovered in their property, and pre-dates the one sold previous. Most of the supporting actors were not given full scripts, purely just their lines / scenes. Those scripts, just like this, were copies taken from the master script a few days before filming and issued to each cast member accordingly. During filming of Star Wars A New Hope (1977) Prowse fully believed that he would be the voice of Darth Vader, and was surprised to know his lines has been dubbed by James Earl Jones. According to many after discovering that his voice had been replaced with that of James Earl Jones, Prowse was so frustrated that he stopped learning his lines for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Instead, he would improvise lines, sometimes speaking complete gibberish, forcing his co-stars to respond as if he had said the correct line, which may explain why this script remains in such good condition.
