      @fridaynightnicktoons6885 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Elijah Blechman not after his disrespectful whoreshit. Also you really thinking filling the suit with someone else is just as hard as finding someone with the voice quality of JAMES EARL JONES? One is clearly more important (and morally better) then the other.

    I love to come back and watch these interviews. Really well done. I really feel just terrible for Dave with the way he has been shut out of the fandom. This is also the most cohesive and polite interviews I've ever seen with Dave. Most interviews tend to play up the controversy and paint him in a rather bitter and angry light. Well done

    • @MGSBigBoss77
      @MGSBigBoss77 8 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Agreed. I'll be disgusted the day Mr Prowse passes away and Lucasfilm or George Lucas try to offer up any form of condolences in his honor. As they haven't and never tried to extend that hand of friendship while he's still alive today. But you just know when somebody passes they'll be like; "how sorry they are to hear of his passing" etc.
      Now's the time to do it George and LF. Not when he'll pass onto the next life and start pushing up daises, but now when he's alive and kicking. Make up and bury that shit already Star Wars won and the fans globally have enjoyed the movies for sheer decades. Stuff leaks from movies all the firggin time, and nobody cared whatever leaked out of Return Of The Jedi for 3 and half plus decades o.k. let the man go to Star Wars Celebration again and be the leader of the 501st (Vader's Fist) once more. and embrace him while it still matters!

    When i was 6 i was on holiday in Devon UK, Return of the Jedi had just come out , I was in a toy shop with my father and was waiting for the lift to open and my father said here it comes so we waited for the lift door to open, and David Prowse walked out in full Darth Vader costume with two storm troopers and he picked me up into his arms, Apparently as my father said i screamed haha but he signed his autograph on a return of the Jedi postcard, Amazing to think about it now.

    Wow, this was really good! And Dave Prowse is such a nice person. I actually follow the fan page in FB, with all the latest news and photos from him. I am definitely looking forward to seeing videos with Caroline Blakiston, Anthony Daniels and Ian McDiarmid. You make these interviews so vivid and enjoyable - perhaps because you don't act as a journalist or reporter, but rather as a fan and friend.

    • @TheGeeknd
      @TheGeeknd  8 ปีที่แล้ว

    excellent video thumbs up

    • @invisi-bullexploration2374
      @invisi-bullexploration2374 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dylan Tomasi Would have been hard. Lucas is by far the most vindictive person in Hollywood and that's saying a lot! If he thinks you crossed him he will use his weight to make sure you never work on the industry again. As such Prowse, per Lucas's fiat is banned from going near ANYTHING hosting a Star Wars IP in the US. Like for example San Diego Comicon. I was hoping selling it (Star Wars) off to Disney would loosen Lucas's iron grip on the subject.

    • @Dylantomasi
      @Dylantomasi 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Blimmo D. Clown that is truly sad to hear that is not fair to him at all I'm sure if Lucas was straightforward in the first place and told him his voice was not going to be used it would be a non-issue right now..
      Lucas is a very talented director but he's also very naive. I hope in the future this guy gets to make a cameo in at least one of the Star Wars movie.. and it's really funny too because one of the reasons why George Lucas sold lucasfilm's is because he wanted to make his movies that won't affect profit wise of Lucas Films. but he hasn't made s*** since you sold Lucas Films nothing at all.. he clearly sold Lucas Films because of the backlash from episode 1 2 & 3.. he couldn't stand being ridiculed for ruining something that he created for others..
      that's why after episode 3 he said that was the end of The Saga even though years earlier he mentioned he had plans for an episode 7.
      the best thing that ever happen is that he sold it to Disney.

      He bloody well should be, He leaked information for the plot, he starred in a fan parody of star wars, he gave an interview for The People Versus George Lucas CLAIMING he didn't know what it was about, he says he's a victim of reverse racism, when he was still going to fan conventions he forced people to pay 50$ for a signed photograph, he's always bitching about star wars, he insulted them for not letting him come back for ROTS, he also complained when they didn't invite him back for Rogue One. The guy is bitter and angry, and he deserves to be left out of the family.

    • @miltonnunez6574
      @miltonnunez6574 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      How could he leak the plot when he was given the wrong lines to say during filming. He never said the line I'm your father he was told to say something else and only found out the truth when he saw the film in the theater. There was no need to give him actual lines that would be used in the film since it was all going to be rerecorded in the studio by JEJ. It doesn't make any sense that he would have a need to have access to the real plot of the film think about it. I think he's getting a raw deal. I think Lucas is the one being the ass and has done nothing really good for Star Wars as soon as teddy bears were used in ROTJ it all went down hill from there. Now that George is out look what we got Rogue One a proper SW film.

    Tim Rose had a similar experience with Ackbar but actually worse. He created the iconic voice, he performed it on set. The voice actor who did Ackbar was instructed to copy the on set voice that Tim Rose had created. The only reason he was hired was that he was cheaper than getting Rose to do it!

      Well, I suggest you do then! It's heartfelt and casts a light on the reasons why David Prowse is snobbed by Lucas. Also on how he feels about Bernard Shaw's role as Vader's face, and in a very sad and petty way, how Lucas/Disney feels about that too.

      if you take into account that the voice you hear there is the raw filming and not the studio recorded and altered final one, you can't judge how it'd sound. Personally I think it was a going behind his back what Lucas did, not giving him even the opportunity to try

    • @XboxTechJunky
      @XboxTechJunky 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Goran Orrskog you know there's a video when Prowse was doing the voice in A New Hope and he did not sound like this right???

    • @goranorrskog6296
      @goranorrskog6296 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      errrr, that's the way I wrote what I wrote, that video is the original on-stage and not the dubbed one, what part of it don't you understand? Every character in the movie had this in-production voice and then they had to get to a studio to record the dialogues you hear in the movie (dubbing) and he wasn't invited to do so (as he said in the interview), so we don't know for sure how he'd sound as Vader. And I stand that Lucas went behind his back in an unethical and unprofessional way.

    • @XboxTechJunky
      @XboxTechJunky 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Goran Orrskog well even the production crew said they were disappointed with Prowse's voice as Vader. They really never talked about dubbing or modifying it. Plus the voice Prowse did in this video was cool and all it still wouldn't have done Vader justice like James Earl Jones did. Plus Prowse voice sounds cool in this because he's much older now and voice is old and raspy as well. While what Lucas did was unprofessional I believe what he did was alright in order to make his character better and scarier.

    Prowse is obviously lying in his book about not divulging story plot lines to the media. He was quoted in interviews and during personal appearances prior to the release of Empire and Jedi. Lucasfilm seriously considered suing Prowse for breach of contract, but thought better of it due to the negative publicity that it would generate. Prowse's ouster from all Lucasfilm events was by his own doing.
