But, unlike fellow body man, Peter Mayhew, who returned to play Chewbacca one last time in The Force Awakens in 2015, David Prowse hasn’t publicly been associated with Star Wars since the late ’80s. If you’re wondering why you haven’t seen Prowse at Disney or Lucasfilm sponsored nostalgia tours — like Star Wars Celebration — there’s a very good reason. The bodybuilder and actor had a pretty big falling out with George Lucas while making the classic Star Wars films. There’s a lot of dirty Vader laundry over the years, but the biggest issues seem connected with the fact that Prowse spoiled some aspects of both Empire and Return of the Jedi in press interviews before the films’ releases. It’s also been widely documented that he felt slighted by having his voice replaced by James Earl Jones. But, in truth, once you dig into old books and magazines, that’s just the tip of a Death Star-sized iceberg.
