Mind-Blowing Movie Plot Twists That Nobody Saw Coming

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Star Wars: Episode V easily features the most quotable plot twist in cinema history: "Luke, I am your father." Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Darth Vader (David Prowse and James Earl) engage in a lightaber duel that ends with Vader severing Luke's right hand. Vader tempts him to join the dark side, but Luke refuses, claiming that Vader killed his father. Vader then reveals to Luke that he is his biological father. Oh, the drama!
