(CNN) — A script for "Star Wars: Episode V -- The Empire Strikes Back" reveals how a pivotal plot twist in the movie franchise was considered to be such a secret that it was not reflected in the lines provided to actors.
The script, which belonged to Darth Vader actor David Prowse, will be auctioned next month by East Bristol Auctions in the UK. The actor died in November aged 85.
Prowse wore the black suit and helmet to play Vader in the original "Star Wars" trilogy.
