Even though it was James Earl Jones providing the voice it was also the physical presence of Prowse that gave Darth Vader such memorable menace.

I honest-to-god thought he had already died so I was bracing myself for the news that James Earl Jones was no longer with us. Though James Earl Jones was in other iconic roles and was famous enough that only referring to him as "Darth Vader" instead of his name would really not do him justice to the point of being almost offensive, so I should've known better. But anyways, RIP David Prowse. He was the guy in the Darth Vader suit and that does actually mean something. You can tell just by watching Episode III and Rogue One that it was NOT the same guy in the suit, so he gave a distinct performance and left his mark on the role.

If you all would indulge a blatant plug for another thread of mine, if you're interested in some hot goss related to Lucas and Star Wars I compiled a bunch of highlights from the infamous biography that George Lucas didn't want you to read, Skywalking: The Life and Films of George Lucas. (It's not anything quite so scandalous as the quoted above but it gets pretty amusing) More directly related to the topic, Prowse and Lucas have held a grudge against each other for decades as Prowse felt Lucas was stringing him along with false hope that he might some day get to be seen on-screen as Vader unmasked, and Lucas apparently caught wind that most plot leaks to the press were coming from Prowse, and Lucas gradually distanced Prowse from any Star Wars or Lucasfilm -adjacent projects until he was essentially disowned entirely (I think he was even kept from making appearances at conventions and such) and as far as I know Prowse was bitter about it until the end.

Or for that matter what Padme did to Anakin which is basically having your baby-sitter rape your little boy all of which is fine for George Lucas though he's cool like that. He's got light sabers and cool cars and poo poo. e: "Is Padme alright?!" No she's not she's a child molester enabled by the Jedi priesthood, Anakin and you're a victim, and we're still going to blame you for her death to shame you.

Fun to watch the first Indiana Jones movie now. Lucas wanted the backstory to be even more explicit.

There's a pretty good documentary about Prowse, his life and career, and how hosed up Star Wars was for him. I recommend it for the curious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbExdNBjOfQ
