Dave Prowse Banned From Lucasfilm Events

Vader Banned By Lucas Films

The man behind the mask of Vader will not be able to appear at any Lucasfilm's related event now or in the near future.

He better book a flight to Comic-Con now since Celebration V is out of the picture.

This is a statement released on Dave Prowse's website:

Dave is not appearing at Celebration V

It is with regret that I have been informed by my friends at C2 Ventures, Ben and Phillip, that I am not to be invited to C5 this year or any other Lucas Film associated events. After inquiring, the only thing I have been told is that I have "burnt too many bridges between Lucas Film and myself" - no other reason given.

I have also been advised by the promoter of Paris Manga in September that LFL have requested no photo opportunities with the 501 Squadron, even though I am commander in chief of the 501.

Sincere apologies to all my fans who were hoping to meet with me - I shall miss you too. As you will see from my events page I will be at many conventions all over the world so we can still keep in touch.

I have dug up a gem that may have started it all.  Vader crying like a BABY.

His issue is that he has not received residual payments for Return of the Jedi because producers told him that it has not made a profit.

“I get these occasional letters from Lucasfilm saying that we regret to inform you that as Return of the Jedi has never gone into profit, we’ve got nothing to send you. Now here we’re talking about one of the biggest releases of all time.”

Friends of Prowse said that the letter informing him that Return of the Jedi had not made a profit was referring to the special edition. Under the terms of his contract, he would be entitled to a percentage of cinema takings once the film had exceeded its production costs. The expense of adding new footage to Return of the Jedi for the special edition is not clear.

It is amazing that these actors would mess up such a good thing. Keep your mouth shut and you will never have to work a day in your life again.

This guys goes to every convention he can get his hands on and signs his signature on a picture and makes anything from $20-30 a autograph. Dream job right.

I keep on telling my wife and friends, that if I could just get a simple role on anything related to Star Wars I would  never have to work again. 

I'd whore myself out to every convention big or small and sign autographs and say "What a great guy George is," even though I have never met him and sign away. How can you screw up such a good thing?

All I have to say is Douche!!
