Darth Vader actor David Prowse banned from attending ‘Star Wars’ events
July 17th, 2010 - 5:28 pm ICT by ANILondon, July 17 (ANI): David Prowse has revealed that he has been banned from attending any ‘Star Wars’ events because he “annoyed” George Lucas.
The 75-year-old star, who plays the physical form of Darth Vader in the ‘Star Wars’, wrote on his website that he could not attend an upcoming conference or any “Lucasfilm associated event”.
“The only thing I’ve been told is I’ve burnt too many bridges between Lucasfilm and myself,” the Sun quoted Prowse as saying. The actor added that Lucas had accused him of leaking reports of Vader’s death.
Prowse also asserted he was not paid a fair share of profits from the last film.
“Dave never received much money for his role and was always shoved to the side. He believes he’s been an embarrassment or annoying to Lucas. But he lives for conventions. So to strip this from him too is heartbreaking,” said a friend. (ANI)
