Well, the part you left out is key - Prowse did NOT know he was going to be
voiced over until the movie was released, or soon before.

Yeah, but that was for A New Hope.  I'm sure he figured out by the time he was
filming Empire that he was going to be voiced over...

I had the chance to meet David Prowse 2 years ago, and I guess George
was very good at screwing david over. 1) with the obvious voice over of
JEJ, BTW David does a very good Vader, just as good as JEJ. 2) In ROTJ
David thought that he was going to be the one Luke reveals at the end as
Anakin Skywalker. But that didn't happen as well, the had him set for a
newspaper interview while they shot that part.

BTW when Darth Vader picks the emperor up that was just David with no
wires for help. I guess they spend 2 days trying with wires and lifts to
do the scene but it look very bad.

(...) Mr. Prowse is quite the bodybuilding fan. It was at his gym where Christopher Reeve put on muscle mass for the Superman movies. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
