David Prowse (85) RIP

He has become one with The Force.

The OT ranks are thinning.

RIP

I really hate this whole death thing.


I remember like it was yesterday when Darth Vader first stepped out into that white corridor in his all-black armor to survey his troopers work. I was never the same.

........

Amazing that the man who stood next to Peter Cushing and dueled with Alec Guinness was with us for so long. RIP.

Aw man we just lost four in four years.

The ST takes another one.

I was blessed to have met Prowse in the 90?s at a Con in FT Lauderdale. This was in the dark time for SW, well before the PT was a thing.

He was a true gentleman, and really loved the fan whom came out to see the ?Real? Vader . I spoke with I?m at length about his career and body building. Sitting right next to him, Kenny Baker , and next to him Jeremy Bulloch.

It was quite the afternoon, zero crowds, and I sort felt bad for them, as they seemed to have been forgotten.


Those years were awesome for the diehard SW fan. I met and had long conversations with not only them, but Hamill, Ford, Mathew and May other minor supporters.

I never got to meet Carrie or Daniels, I hope to meet the later someday, but not meeting Carrie was the biggest regret I had
