So that's a good example of what @AC1 is talking about: textbook halo effect. The cantina was considered one of the unmitigated successes of the film back in 1977. Whatever George may have thought of it. It was mentioned in almost all of the media about the film. Even the Holiday Special had to reference it. RIP Mr. Prowse. https://people.com/movies/dave-prowse-dead-celebs-react/ I knew he trained Superman. I did not know he trained the Dread Pirate Westley.

bruce marshall 1,314 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 When I first saw this topic I thought " Didn't he die awhile ago?". Dummy, that was Peter Mahyew! Chewbacca....Darth.... C-3pO? 😞 Three actors who are known worldwide but never seen.

The rest of the film has faded. 16 hours ago, Chen G. said: Didn't Lucas have a falling out with Prowse, the latter having guessed the "I am your father" (on his own - this was while Lucas and Kasdan were still writing) moment and "leaked" it to the news? I don't think that is correct. Nobody knew that plot twist. On the other hand, the Luke and Leia are siblings was leaked. Asshole😠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,625 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Ever since Kenny Baker died I kept mixing him up with Peter Mayhew and David Prowse not remembering which one was dead .Maybe it's all the reports over the years they were all in very ill or random pictures of them looking like they're at death's door. Now they're all dead. And I even thought Frank Oz was dead too until he popped up in TLJ Anthony Daniels looks in good health though, probably because of the lifelong motivation to fit in his costume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people have died from the China Flu, and he happened to play a character with breathing problem. He was also old.

In fact, I believe at the time when Prowse “revealed” it Lucas had only just written it, privately. Prowse just pulled it out of his arse, and by coincidence it turned out to be true. EDIT: so it seems Lucas could swallow his pride enough to say words, although of course he springboards off of it to further perpetuate his retcons: “a memorable, tragic figure.” Oh well...

Thor 7,465 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 There's a funny link I've been thinking about. Both Prowse and Arnold Schwarzenegger were bodybuilders that had early film cameos as muscular bodyguards in films by auteurs - Prowse in Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and Schwarzenegger in Robert Altman's THE LONG GOODBYE. But except for Darth Vader, their careers and success went in very different directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
