I met David back in Sheffield meadow hall, he was a giant gentleman and a really good laugh, I thanked him for his green cross code man,I loved meeting him he was brilliant

Lucas screwed the guy over a barrel by refusing to let him reprise the Vader role in future Star Wars productions. He blamed Prowse for giving away plot details of Return Of The Jedi(which Prowse always denied , I might add!). Lovley guy , who made a huge contribution to blockbuster cinema. So sad he's gone. But he'll never be forgotten. I grew up with the original Trilogy. I was 11 years old when the original came out. Never felt the same about the later Star Wars movies as I felt about the original three.

Who is to say that Lucas was obligated to do that? And what gives anyone the right to leak anything? It wasn't his movie. I met Prowse once. Then i understood what i had heard. A real jackass.

[@rachelllouise]

[@brishohh]

[@tarathompson9506]

How many movies does David Prowse appear besides Star Wars? it's because Darth Vader was created with a deep voice.

[@thewomble1509]

Proof positive he lied about his height, unless Jackie Collins was six feet two.........................

[@疯子-w8b]

she is apparently 1.7m and she is wearing hills there! Moreover, I am certain that if he was not tall enough for George, Prowse would not have played Vader. Even if George was mistaken, they probably measured Prowse for Vader's suit. But then again centimeters don't really matter. What matters is how you look.
