Plot
In the luminous universe of Star Wars, an obscured figure looms - David Prowse, the man behind Darth Vader's imposing mask in the original trilogy. For three decades, Prowse's face remained shrouded in cinematic mystery, a secret kept even in "Return of the Jedi," where an unexpected substitution left a lasting mark on his life. Now, as an octogenarian, Prowse's legacy seems to have been lost in the interstellar dust of forgotten stars.
That's until a group of intrepid Star Wars fans unearth the reason for his apparent abandonment by Lucasfilm. Stirred by the enigma, a young filmmaker steps into the fray, determined to illuminate the forgotten tale of the man behind the mask. His mission is twofold - to unravel the hidden truths of the past and to restore the glory David Prowse was denied.
"I Am Your Father" is a cinematic tribute to a man overshadowed by his own character, a poignant exploration of the price of fame and the power of fandom. It weaves a narrative as compelling as the Star Wars saga itself, serving as a final opportunity to bring justice to a hero unsung. This is more than a movie; it's a homage to an actor who, for many, was always there but never truly seen.
