"Luke, I am your father"

Many people remember the line as “Luke, I am your father.” In reality, Darth Vader says “No, I am your father” in The Empire Strikes Back. The altered version became widespread because adding “Luke” gives the quote more context when repeated outside the movie, making it one of the most famous Mandela Effects of all time.
