IT appears that one of the most famous lines in modern cinema could be rewritten.

In the confrontation between young Jedi Luke Skywalker and the Empire’s evil second-in-charge Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back, the dark lord reveals that he is Skywalker’s dad.

It’s an oft-misquoted line with people heavy breathing into pint glasses to create that classic Vader pant and saying: “I’m your father Luke.”

But what Vader, voiced by respected US Actor James Earl Jones but played by Bristolian Green Cross Code man Dave Prowse, actually says as part of a conversation when he breaks it to his son that his dad isn’t dead is “No, I am your father.”

However it appears that line could now be switched to “No, I am your grandfather ... and can you speak up a bit. Have you seen my specs, I left them here somewhere.”

The change may come in as part of the new series of Star Wars films.

Number seven, yes seven, is slated to be hitting our screens in 2015.

And it turns out that Carrie Fisher will reprise her role as Princess Leia.

Ms Fisher is now 56 and despite being in decent nick, I can’t imagine her wearing that gold bikini and strangling Jabba the Hut to death in his desert fortress.

There’s also talk of the universe’s oldest smuggler Han Solo reprising his role.

Solo, played by keen narrowboater (it’s true, look it up) Harrison Ford, would be well beyond retirement age and have already collected his gold watch (smuggled of course) five years ago on his 65th.

I know that the pensioners of today are much more sprightly than the doddering OAPs of yore, however I can’t believe that Solo will be shooting Imperial Stormtroopers with the same gay abandon that he did in the first Star Wars in 1978.

Plus he’ll be tired from having to get up at night for a wee.

But what if all sequels used the original actors?

The recent series of Batman films have been phenomenally successful but can you imagine if Adam West was still donning the tights.

There’d be considerably more kapow-ing than Oscar buzz.

Mr West is now 84 (below) so would be driving the Batmobile at a steady 40 on the middle lane of whatever motorway in Gotham he was using to get to thwart a crime.

After he’d stopped to open a flask of tea and have a sandwich.

But what if films just swapped the ages of all the actors around?

A pre-puberty Macaulay Culkin in A Few Good Men hollering “You can’t handle the truth!” in a high pitched squeak before pulling his trademark O face to the camera.

Or indeed Jack Nicholson chomping on his cigar and wearing his sunglasses while he lays a trap for the bungling burglars in Home Alone.

I think my favourite would be a mix of Kes and Lord of The Rings.

Can you imagine Sir Ian McKellen aka Gandalf pronouncing in his stentorian tone: “Our Jud’s killed it.” Or indeed hanging off the crossbar during the school PE lesson to be told to get down by the fantastic Brian Glover.

On the other hand we’d have six stone wringing wet David Bradley (complete with stick on beard), in his best Yorkshire accent saying: “Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I did not pass through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.”

Then rubbing his snotty nose on his sleeve.

Either way, it’d make going to the pictures a much more entertaining experience.
