Before George Lucas cast James Earl Jones as the ominous voice of Darth Vader, actor David Prowse provided all the Sith Lord’s original dialogue. Although Lucas planned on using voice-over all along, Prowse still delivered his lines like a pro.
It’s funny to imagine Vader as an intergalactic Brit, politely pillaging the galaxy for The Empire, but it just doesn’t deliver the sense of fear and terror projected by James Earl Jones.
For all the horrible things he’s done to the “Star Wars” franchise, it’s nice to know there was once some good in George Lucas. Nice move, Lucas. Nice move…
