Vader’s actual quote has tons of impact because Luke had just said with great passion “He (Obi Wan) told me you killed my father!” (Although I am sure I misremembered the exact words.)
In any event, “Luke, I am your father” would not have been as strong. as “No, I am your father!”
> Marlon Brando never said, “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.”
Actually, he did. MB just used ‘couldn’t’ instead of ‘can’t’. I had to watch Godfather again on my PC (as an avi), FF’d to that scene and he did state that line.

True story:
A late acquaintance of mine (a former Harvard professor), was one of Patton’s intelligence officers. He was a former Prussian officer who fled the Nazis but the Germans seized his Swedish wife and his son, Sven.
As the American armies began to sweep into Germany and liberate concentration camps, Fritz asked Patton if he could go look for his family in an international internment city. Patton gave him a jeep and off he went. When he found out which house his wife and son lived in, he went up to the door, his monocle in place, and knocked on the door.
Little Sven opened the door and Fritz, in full uniform and in stern Prussian stance said, “Sven, I am your father.”
Needless to say, both men were to become among the leaders of the US in bringing down the Soviet Union during the Cold War and remain among the unsung heroes of America.
“I am your father.” A great line from WW2 to Star Wars.

Very odd. Up to ‘Among other movie lines we think we know: ‘ this was a straight story, followed by three absurd non quotes.
I heard Cary Grant never said “Judy, Judy, Judy.”
