Is there a more c.ucked man in the history of Star Wars?
>puts his all into the first film.....ends up getting dubbed over in post
>puts his all in the ESB...ends up injuring his knee
>learns that Darth Vader will finally unmasked in ROTJ...the producers let him think it'll be his face under the mask until the last moment where he's replaced again with Sebastian Shaw
>trains to so he can play Vader again in ROTS....Christensen ends up putting on lifts and playing the role
>isn't allowed at conventions to this day

Is there any recording of his Darth Vader voice?

Literally two seconds on Google
>>63838571
lel, they changed it for a good reason
>>63838478
>>isn't allowed at conventions to this day
what why
>>63838571
I can see why they went with Jones' voice...
>>63838687
Showed off his lightsaber to some kids
>>63838478
>>isn't allowed at conventions to this day
Why???
>>63838814
Would he be forgiven if he threw George Lucas down a hole?
>>63838687
He wasn't allowed at the official one by Lucas. He routinely goes to normal sci-fi conventions.
Lucas and Prowse fell out.
>>63838823
his wife and her bull won't let him leave his shed.
>>63838571
holy shit yeah they did the right thing.
>>63838823
Because he tried to sell the plot from the movies.
>>63838901
Lucas is an enormous resentful faggot
>>63838571
Prowse is legitimately retarded if he actually thought that they were going to use his voice.
>>63838571
lmao its dark helmet
Can't blame Lucas for not wanting that voice, but he probaly treated Prowse like shit (without realizing)
>because Jorge has aspergers, itdoesn't occur to him to tell Prowse he will be overdubbed
>excusable because of the condition, but Prowse was probably angry about it regardless
>cold war escalation breaks out between the two as they constantly one-up each other in slights
Talking about sw autism, anyone remember the presentation where the cast members for TFA were on stage and Anthony Daniels was standing around really awkwardly trying to look friendly, holding Carrie Fisher around her shoulder? She looked like she wanted to kill him
If George now made the original star wars back then, he would have used the original voice.
Of course the guy is angry at Lucas, they tried to cremate him at the end of episode VI.
>>63838571
They called him Darth Farmer on set.
>>63838964
No one likes Anthony Daniels. He's a miserable prick, has been for years.
>>63838823
He apparently gave away plot details of Empire Strikes Back, though he denies it.
Is everyone involved in this franchise autistic or a faggot or a cokehead?
>>63838571
Im glad they changed it
He also got fucked over with his contract and doesn't collect royalties from being in Star Wars.
>>63839172
Harrison Ford is p. cool

In July 2010, Prowse was banned by George Lucas from attending official Star Wars fan conventions. Lucas has reportedly given Prowse no reason, other than stating that Prowse "burnt too many bridges" between Lucasfilm and himself.
He can do cons. I see him all the time. He just can't do "official" Lucas Films events.
But since Lucas has no control anymore, it's a moot point.
>>63838571
>Scottish
Fucking Americans
>>63839036
guffaw
oo arr oim dartfff vaderr oi am ooarr
come n look at me dungheap oooarr boi
>>63839228
He isn't involved in the franchise, he's just in it for the money.
>>63839083
I'm miserable too, why do you hate me?
>>63839303
He probably put a clause about it in his contract with Disney.
>Also fuck David that guy's an asshole
They put different kinds of false info in different copies of ESB scripts .
There were some "plot leaks" during production that matched the info in Prowse's script. He was already very bitter about ANH, and this stunt was what led to the complete disintegration of his relationship with Lucas
fuck lucas. fuck disney.
prowse is based as fuck on a clockwork orange and as darth vader.
seems like a cool dude, too, from what scifi con fans have told me.
>>63839303
>spills the future of star wars and the I am your father twist
top drawer
Not to hate or anything, but I don't think his mannerisms were all that great. Especially in ANH where he's constantly doing stuff like shifting his head too quick so it ends up looking funny.
>>63839303
>>63839592
wait i thought it was a great secret and it wasn't even in the script, and not even luke knew about it until they filmed that particular scene where vader tells him
>>63839687
It's supposed to be funny, mate, Darth Vader is an evil muppet, you nerds are the ones who try to elevate him to something that he is not.
>>63838823
There's a lot of stories about David Prowse out there. Apparently even though he's supported by crutches nowadays he constantly tries to pick up girls at conventions literally a quarter of his age, usually teenagers. Supposedly he's got an ego a mile wide and can sometimes be surprisingly unpleasant with fans for no good reason - sometimes he'll be friendly and cheerful, other times a complete dick. He also demands ridiculous sums of money for convention appearances considering he's a glorified stuntman.
>>63839843
Yes, I'm sure slapstick humor is what they were going for.
>>63839723
That's the story Georgie Porgie wants you to believe.
Just like he was the one who had the whole thing put together in his head from the start, when the fact is Leigh Brackett was the one who came up with the idea of Darth being Luke's papi after they started working on the ESB script.
>>63838687
He spoiled the end twist of ESB to 1000s of people in a public appearance before the movie came out
>>63839866
>considering he's a glorified stuntman
Peter Mayhew is a better actor, and all he did was wipe asses and empty bedpans at a hospital before he played Chewie.
>>63839931
And they loved it.
>>63839866
>Apparently even though he's supported by crutches nowadays he constantly tries to pick up girls at conventions literally a quarter of his age
Based as fuck.
>>63838478
So you're saying that nobody cared who he was after he put on the mask?
>>63839895
Try to it wasn't.
Pro tip: you can't, star wars was like The Room, it had the opposite effect of what it was trying to achieve.
>>63839866
I saw him at a Star Wars day at the National Space centre in the UK and asked him what he thought of the prequels:
"I didn't think much of them" he responded.
His (presumably) son was next to him and did all the money stuff and Prowse himself didn't seem that arsed about the whole thing or engaging (I put that down to his age), but after that he was talking with some 10 year old kid a lot and gave him an autograph for free (much to the annoyance of his son) who asked Prowse "who's going to pay for that?".
"On 13 May 2009, Prowse publicly declared his support for the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) " - based Prowse
>>63839931
My father did that too, when we were watching a new hope.
>>63839866
>Apparently even though he's supported by crutches nowadays he constantly tries to pick up girls at conventions literally a quarter of his age
I thought you meant literally. Pic related is the only other thing I ever saw David Prowse do.
>>63840288
Nice
Hmmmm. Who to pick?
James earl jones. Respected actor and man with a voice of power. Or some schmuck. Let's see who to fuck coco or Amy poehler?

>James earl jones. Respected actor
He wasn't before Star Wars
>>63839083
Why??
>>63840825
He's resentful of Star Wars and has a chip on his shoulder the size of New Zealand. If you do some light googling you can find all kinds of anecdotes about his dickishness. He's a monster to Kenny Baker
Eh. He wasn't willing to play ball, and he ended up shunned. Disney runs the show now, so he probably won't continue to be shunned after he croaks in a few years (he's 80).
It's not as though Prowse ever became destitute. He still tours the con circuit and whores out his autographs for money.
>>63838571
They should've done the same with the new movie.
>>63840933
I've only seen him on imdb, he looks so happy
