Hi Darth Logos, some "individuals" decided it would be appropriate to bring UK politics onto the platform tribute page they posted on because of some of the views/opinions Mr Prowse expressed in the past year. It led to a few other people calling them out and setting the troll straight but they shouldn't have had to if the political comments hadn't been made in the first place.
It's the problem with "keyboard cowards" unfortunately - they're amonymous behind a screen.
That, IMO, is the biggest problem with the current world social climate; "I have an opinion, and if you don't agree with it, then you're evil and every other bad thing I can think to call you, and you need to die." I blame social media. It has profoundly overinflated the egos of multiple generations that truly have had too little life experience to know WTF is really going on. All from the safety of anonymity we call the internet. In honor of the one who first taught us to Sith: Keep Calm, and Hate Everyone.That's what Vader did. That's how I do it. And it usually never fails. |

RIP David Prowse. The actor behind the character that made me love cinema and science fiction ...

James Earl Jones may have given Vader his voice, but Prowse gave Vader his mannerisms and I would even say his personality; it's impossible to forget that first appearance in A New Hope, or his hand reaching out to Luke in Empire Strikes Back. Here's hoping he rests easy now.

Exactly. Without his performance giving life to the character, we'd have nothing but a great voice and the many moods of Vader  (But who am I kidding? Kristen Stewart could've given us the same thing without a mask.   ) |

Totally agree Undoubtedly a great actor. Watching those films you never doubted Vader was what he was meant to be, imposing, menacing, domineering, they way he was physically played by Prowse made that work and blended so perfectly with the voice. considering the outfits size and restrictions it was a phenomenal effort, there was a lot of subtlety in some of the moments i remember most, e.g. when hurling objects at Luke on bespin lowering his blade, on Endor talking with Luke, and before the Emperor - heck even just standing up and blocking Han's blaster shots. He was the man who made those moments work visually and will be remembered for that so long as Star Wars as a cultural artefact continues. |

Ironically, Prowse's voice reminds me a lot of Rick Moranis's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSm9DDxQv8EI wonder if that helped him to get the part in Space Balls?  |

 Dark Lords of the Sith have ruled collectively and individually for Millenia. One afraid to wield a power is ultimately unworthy of it. Ascendancy into the light has an apex, yet descent into the darkness is endless. The Dark Side can give or take anything, based on user strength. I claim the title of Darth Prodigal Dark Lord of the Sith as my own. Through pain, our Code, and right of combat it is mine; and so shall it be defended. Follow Darth Bane's wisdom. (Only Dark Side Points Preferred.) |
