Very sad how the falling out between Lucas and Prowse happened and that there never was any kind of reconciliation and Prowse was barred from so much. He seemed like such a nice person. Would have loved to see him get even a cameo type role in the new films.
A lovely tribute. I understand why he and George fell out. Dave did leak the plot of the movie before it came out. But it was a very long time ago and life is very short. It's a real shame they didn't make up in some capacity because I think it would have meant a lot to Dave.
My other halfs father had the great honour to meet The Late David Prowse. Back in the day David played the part of Green Cross Code Man.

Excellent way to honor such an icon, Jamie. David not only had a towering presence within the Star Wars franchise, but within the fandom as well. Godspeed Lord Vader, your truly now one with The Force.
Lovely clips of a lovely man. As well as Darth Vader he will always be the green cross code man to me. Born in 71, he literally taught me how to be safe around the roads. Thanks for sharing Jamie, and thanks forever to Mr Prowse!
“I’ve been looking forward to this”. But no seriously thanks for putting this together, I especially enjoyed hearing Dave talk about lifting the Emperor up. I’m sure he told you but apparently they tried to film that scene with Bob Anderson (Dave’s double), and he just wasn’t strong enough to pick Ian McDiarmid up. Dave goes up to Richard Marquand and says he can do it, and does it in one take. Such an awesome story. If I were interviewing Dave I would’ve asked more about his involvement in Return of the Jedi, because apparently they used Bob Anderson in some scenes where he wasn’t even fighting, and this was apparently just because Marquand wasn’t fond of Mr Prowse. I would’ve loved to have asked Dave if he were in the suit for the scene where Vader’s lying on the floor just after his hand is cut off, and if it’s him in the suit when he walks up to the Emperor while he’s shocking Luke. Even if Dave couldn’t really remember, I still would’ve loved to have seen what he would’ve said, and I probably would’ve pulled my phone out to watch certain scenes with him, to work out whether he or Bob was in the suit for particular scenes. Either way, enough of my paragraph, I guess we’ll never know. Thanks Jamie, RIP Dave.
I can tell when it’s prowse as Vader , his presence is unmistakable , in Jedi all scenes except I would say for the technical duels with Luke but every other Vader scene , most iconic when he lands at the start of the movie the walk the head movements the hand gestures all Dave , I can tell even when they used other guys in the other movies , they may be of tall stature but they don’t put out daves energy and the way he moves ,, it’s so fucking Vaderesque RIP david prowse is darth Vader physically , and James Earl jones ❤️
What a lovely man and an extremely uplifting interview. Thank you for sharing these extended bits. RIP Dave. A very good man and hero behind the mask of the villain Darth Vader.
Bloody hell that gave me the feels. Sad hearing how he felt ostrosised from star wars that's not right poor Dave. He's such a legend. He was in Dr who in the 70s too. Great interview mate how awesome to meet him like that.
Sad in 2013 I had the privilege to escort Dave Prowse as Vader at the Montreal comiccon he was very gentle and came close to me and told me thanks for the escort. Those are great memories. Met him twice and each time it was special such a great person
Wonderful to see. Thank you for sharing these. I got to meet him & he was absolutely lovely to my son & to me. Shaking the hand that choked Captain Antilles & reached out to Luke Skywalker was immensely thrilling. Let's get behind this staue campaign. He more than deserves it!
I always assumed that either it was trick photography with a dummy or that the Emperor was on wires. I didn't realise David Prowse actually lifted him! NEAT!
@@TheGeeknd I'm surprised they did it that way-I would have thought it easier to use wires. But then again, it was FAB and BRILL that the Emperor was a young actor! (He's younger than the actor who played Han Solo). This way, the same actor could reprise the role in the prequels. **And it could have easily have been an older actor as there was nothing physical required for the role**
I know a lot of people liked seeing Vader in Rogue One, but it always bothered me that the actor in the suit didn't move like Prowse did in A New Hope. Thanks for posting this.
@@JerseyPB ah so you know the answer then. just to save confusion, I’ve removed my reply as it seems it was was Jedi. “Dave remembers that the Daily Mail published a piece headlined “Darth Vader to be killed off in the next movie, in an interview with David Prowse” the next day, saying “and that ruined my association with Star Wars.” He added: “I was ostracized while on the movie, the producer and director wouldn’t work with me, and Lucas wouldn’t speak to me.

Here comes David Prows once again
He will always be my friend
He had charm till the end

Not entirely true. Watch the Documentary I am Vader.

RIP David Prowse... a legend
Thanks so much for sharing these, Jamie. Mr. Prowse seemed like such a sweety. ☮️

You’re welcome Connor! In the original interview (link in description) Dave talked about going up to Marquand and taking over from Bob.

Cheers mate!
This was great, I think he would have been great in another star wars movie, even at the age he was in the interview! thank you for sharing Jamie.
No probs dude, glad you enjoyed it
Excellent tribute, thanks for posting.
Thanks, Christopher. Hope you’re keeping well.
It would have been amazing to see Mr Prowse in a cameo role in any of the sequel trilogy movies.
Thank you Jamie.
You’re welcome, Nikolaki 👍
Thanks for this. Dave, ''You have done well'' RIP gentle giant.
Thanks for watching, Serge 👍

What a nice man, seems like a genuine person. A loss for all of us
Nice one, Jamie. I actually discovered your channel with YT recommending the original interview of this legend
Well done, Jamie
Thanks, Brad 😊
Palpatine used vader to his own advantage... lucas used Dave for his... see a parallel?? RIP Dave. May the force be with you
Lovely tribute, great interview. What a lovely bloke
Wonderful to see. Thank you for sharing these. I got to meet him & he was absolutely lovely to my son & to me. Shaking the hand that choked Captain Antilles & reached out to Luke Skywalker was immensely thrilling. Let's get behind this staue campaign. He more than deserves it!
You’re welcome, Jason. Glad you got to meet him.
This video made me sad in a great way so thank for this
Thanks, dude. Happy Christmas to you.
Thanks for sharing, Jamie.
You’re welcome
Very well handled. Thanks for sharing, Jamie.
You’re welcome, Andrew 👍
Thank you for this Jamie
You’re welcome 😊
George treated him badly just because he is strong and outspoken
Very touching, thanks for sharing Jamie 🙏
You’re welcome, Simon.
@@TheGeeknd cheers dude, new look channel, very nice 👌
Thanks dude. Still a work in progress but getting there/somewhere!?
I always assumed that either it was trick photography with a dummy or that the Emperor was on wires. I didn't realise David Prowse actually lifted him! NEAT!
It's a cool little detail isn't it!
@@TheGeeknd I'm surprised they did it that way-I would have thought it easier to use wires.

This is lovely. 😢❤️
Thanks, Maria
I know a lot of people liked seeing Vader in Rogue One, but it always bothered me that the actor in the suit didn't move like Prowse did in A New Hope. Thanks for posting this.
Shame he never got to make his cameo... It would have been amazing seeing him pop up the the Mandalorian, or one of the upcoming series!
That was lovely.
Thank you :)
So Darth Vader was a 6 packed Sith lord with the power of the dark side.
Thanks for sharing.
Does anyone know why Lucasfilm and Prowse didn’t get on and ended the association?
@@KOMHuntTV Yes, I’d read about the leaked vader storyline - it wasn’t 100% proven it was him.
@@JerseyPB ah so you know the answer then. just to save confusion, I’ve removed my reply as it seems it was was Jedi.
“Dave remembers that the Daily Mail published a piece headlined “Darth Vader to be killed off in the next movie, in an interview with David Prowse” the next day, saying “and that ruined my association with Star Wars.”
He added: “I was ostracized while on the movie, the producer and director wouldn’t work with me, and Lucas wouldn’t speak to me. I had six weeks of purgatory.”
Thanks, Jamie. Enjoy being a Force ghost, Dave.
You’re welcome :-)
Now I'm sad that he never got to appear in Star Wars again, not even a cameo!
Good old Darth! Err, Dave, i mean!!! 😅🙏🙏🙏🙏
He deserved much better from Lucas and the rest of the cast.
Shame that we didn't get a force ghost of Hayden Christensen and David Prowse as Anakin's spirit.
Thanks for watching, Abram
Канал swerok, перевёл ваше видео, и о нём узнали в россии.
