I interviewed Prowse years ago in his ratty London gym. Didn't take much for him to start ranting about how he was done out of stardom by Lucas and James Earl Jones. He's a bitter, bitter (Green Cross) man.

Isn't he also really right wing these days?

I'd like to think that anakin's spinning above naboo and on mustafar is a riff on how Luke discovers new powers every time he turns his perception upside down (snow cave, handstand, weather vane)

You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
When he does a spin to evade the missiles at the start of episode 3 his fighter makes a podracing noise

Always liked how Anakin joked about finding a speeder that was the right color (yellow) but it actually wasn't a joke he just really likes yellow whips

His podracer had yellow highlights and the Naboo starfighter he flew was yellow, might be onto something.

Yellow was basically the color of the PT in general in the spinoff stuff/marketing too.

I want to say that around 04 was the start of the "realism is brown" trend so that color scheme would have been very hip around the time of the prequels.

TLJ used red pretty heavily during the marketing and scenes like Smoke's throne room and Crait.

They leaned into red for the FO from the start, at least compared to the Empire, which doesn't really bring in red until ROTJ. Sheev's final costume looked cool with the red underneath, it's just too bad he spends the movie in a cave lit only by lightning strikes

Yeah. It’s also crazy how not under wraps the prequels were. I found every spoiler ever through regular released material.

It's fun to watch RotS trailer where they've just put in all the major plot beats in it, including order 66.

Sheev using the force to conjure a stylish new robe out of nowhere is the only time IX got remotely close to doing the character justice

I was actually talking about blade's jacket, but yeah, i like both instances. There's actually quite a bit of good production design and costuming in blade 3, an otherwise unredeemable film.

Well, yes and no, he threw that idea out in an interview in 1978, but it was almost certainly him joking around, since A this was two years before the movie came out and B the whole “obi-wan killed your father” dodge on set was, by all accounts, specifically designed to keep Prowse from figuring it out because he’d been leaking poo poo to journalists in return for promos on his exercise books, so it’s doubtful they would have actually told him.

I specifically remember an interview with him way before Empire where he mentioned that the sequel will partially take place on an ice planet and a jungle- yeah he was terrible about keeping any secrets.

I don't know if there is anyone alive after star wars 9 who is remotely qualified to train someone to be a jedi, but if the best option is rey it would probably be better to just not have any jedi for a while

I don't care about the plot, it's a LEGO Holiday Special, it's just gonna be a bit of non canon stupid fun. I was just making sure I had the date right.

First of all, I've seen the footage with Prowse doing the dialogue, it stunk. It was JEJ voice that elevated the role, not Prowse.

2nd, if he kept leaking spoilers everywhere and was acting like a twat he kind of had himself to blame.

Thirdly, how the hell did JEJ cheat him out of stardom? Hardly his fault he was hired for the role

the other prowse thing that was funny was when he thought he'd been cast as superman, only to discover that he'd been hired as reeve's personal trainer. It's that 'we've found our fallout boy' scene but for real.
