I so badly want to hear Darth vader say "oo ar wers me tract'r"

[Mesowav]

"big black character" is crazy 😭

[Taymormic]

Unintentionally politically incorrect and racist by today’s standards, but I’d be willing to bet that the same man, David Prowse, probably wouldn’t have used the same word choices if conducting that interview today.

David Prowse putting on his best London voice🇬🇧 for the interview.. Actually came from Bristol." Look I arm your Farther me Babba". Originally George Lucas🤠 wanted Orsen Wells.🧔🏻.some one whose voice was dark, as in sinister 😮

Tht was a very racist way to say a deeper voice was needed to sound threatening he gets no respect frm me anymore now tht I’ve seen this

[ElijahClark-itrt]

Dude your voice wasn’t working for the character…GET OVER IT…at least you got film credits James Earl Jones didn’t for A NEW HOPE

[gregdouglass]

Ah yes, back before political correctness. Some things are better left in the past.

I wouldnt claim racism, because he's quite polite, explains the issue, explains the characters look, explains "I think George", a reason why & how they came to the conclusion, AND HE LOVES IT "Nice combination".
