1. If you really want some fun,

put on the DVD's of the original trilogy films, and set the language to Spanish or French. Darth Vader in those languages is a crack-up...

[Rhythm]

2. I had the honor of meeting Mr. Prowse at DragonCon in '95

There is a certain juxtaposition between his actual speaking voice and what your Star Wars-befuddled brain expected to hear...

He was an absolute delight to meet, and i will treasure that memory always.

9. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with David Prowse in D.C. and

though know for playing Darth, he was also very involved in volunteer programs like this public safety campaign where he became Green Cross Man

13. I actually handled the "voice" of Darth Vader years ago....

My Mom worked on the original Star Wars. I was a teenager who couldn't care less(oh well) and ended up with a short job at George Lucas's mansion/ studio in San Anselmo iirc.

The job was storing away the props & items used in the original film on storage racks. Most everything was labeled in cardboard boxes. In one box was a pair of bricks. George was attending asked I be careful with them(??)

I wondered out loud why they wanted to save these and he grinned and said it was the voice of Darth Vader. He held the bricks up & rubbed them together making the "breathing" noise from his helmet.

True story but when I got married I realized I should have kept some of the memento's. She is / was a huge fan & has a large collection of the toys etc...

Just never gave a dang-I was into anything with a motor back then.

Speaking of that-There was a clapped out but obviously well equipped Camaro at his mansion. A sleeper & I commented I liked it. It was George's personal car back then-low key & a real badass under the hood. That I admired more than any of his films.

16. "Some Scottish guy?"

The good people of Bristol will be very unimpressed with that comment.

Dave Prowse didn't sound remotely Scottish.
