Anakin’s “Help Me, Master”

Published about 17 hours ago • 1 min read

"I am your father."

– Darth Vader, The Empire Strikes Back

Did You Know?

James Earl Jones recorded all of Darth Vader’s lines in just 2.5 hours and was paid $7,500 for it.

He opted for an upfront salary rather than shares of the movie’s profits. In his own words:

"$7,000 was big money for me in those days. I was broke and needed the money to pay rent and buy groceries!"

Hard to imagine Vader without his voice.

Wow. 🤯

It hit me so hard I had to stop and rewatch the scene.

It completely shifts how I see their relationship in that moment. Let me break this down for you.👇
