12 Movies That Cleverly Gave Away Their Twists Early

3. What's In A Name? - Star Wars

The Twist

Darth Vader is, in fact, Luke Skywalker's father, who didn't die as Obi-Wan Kenobi claimed (at least not in the strictest sense).

The Reveal

Just as JK Rowling gave a massive hint that Professor Remus Lupin was a werewolf (well two, in fact since Remus was the twin brother of Rome's founder Romulus, who was raised by wolves and Lupin literally Lupinus in Latin means "of the wolf"), George Lucas gave a big hint to Vader's secret in his name.

Though it's pronounced differently, Vader means Father in Dutch (and has the same etymology as the English word father, in fact). Lucas basically gave the hint away as soon as he introduced Vader, even though some might say he did so unconsciously.
