Like it or not, that is your choice! I have been lucky to have worked for George Lucas and am simply amazed at how he strives to continually achieve brilliance in his work.. I was also lucky to meet and sit down with David Prowse and as he states, he is Darth Vader... Wow! (and got a signed photo with him too! Now if I could only create a small music video of a Star Wars Parody, I can truly die a loyal star wars fan...
The JEJ voiceover is simply excellent, but there is something wonderful about hearing Prowse's Bristolian burr coming from that suit. Maybe its cos I'm from Bristol and its a comforting sound to me, my dad knew Dave when he was a bouncer at a local club, and they have similar accents.
Dave Prowse's voice was never used on screen, and was never meant to be used on screen. Dave had the tall body for the suit while James Earl Jones had the menacing voice. I say Darth Vader is simply too much of a character for one actor to play :P
@OmarGudmunds thats actually not true, prowse's voice was meant to b used on screen but during rehearsals lucas saw it all together he thought it just didnt work and therefore hired jones
Everybody paints Lucas as a monster and a fiend when little things like Ewoks blinking are put into the movies and changes are made. But people find it hysterical that this was supposed to be the Original voice of Vader. If it wasn't for George making this CHANGE, Vader would only be half of the icon he is today. Very hypocritical if you ask me. Poor poor Lucas
for one this voice wasnt in the original movies. The guy who voiced vader was the original voice thats one thing that was not changed in the movie. They needed a more menacing sounding voice than the voice the actor had.
I don't know what the uploader is talking about. That's the actual voice of the actor. Lucas said he was just a big, tenor, Scottish man. That's what he sounds like. James Earl Jones and David Prowse played the role of Darth Vader together, and made it the most legendary film character of all time.
With a character (and villain) of his stature, The voice was essentially the most important part of Darth Vader, considering that he's expressionless...
I think James Earl Jones suited the role perfectly.
This was his voice (Davis Prowse's) THROUGH that Vader mask though. Had it been done in studio where you can edit the pitch and all other aspects of the voice who knows how it would have turned out. They could have made his voice deeper and saved the 7 thousand dollars for one movie and whatever they paid for the others. The voice never matched the character for me. I mean its an obvious non caucasian mans voice but in the 2nd movie he claims to be the father of an obvious non mixed Luke.wtf
To be fair as some others already touched on (most notaly Family Guy) James Earl Jones couldn't completely embody Vader either both physically and with the voice. Jones did the voice perfectly, but Prowse was definately fitting for the role physically. Also did they use his original voice for the monster Baron Frankenstein made in the last Hammer Frankenstein film? If that was his voice it sounded alot different than in here and was pretty intimidating (more so than the make-up was at least).
I'm surprised how many people seem to think this video is serious...
I always thought it was a pretty obvious joke about the changes George Lucas has made to the Star Wars movies, and the fanboys' reactions to those changes.
But mainly this video is just about how freaking bizarre it is to hear that voice coming from the Vader suit...
@atomicdancer This IS the voice of the character who played Darth vader (David Prowse), he performed all the dialogue so they could cue correctly. :) Sounds very freeky tho!
you dont need to repeat it, its extremely annoying. that aside, its a shame these appear to be the only avaliable prowse voicing vader moments, id love to see all 3 films with prowse doing vader, would be so funny
Omg. Do not change the voice because it so doesn't match the character. Good thing George Lucas wanted to perfect this and changed it. The acting is good but wow couldn't he pretend to do a different voice at least. I think Prowse's voice would have worked better for someone that wasn't so intimidating as Vader.
I could be mistaken but I remember the footage I saw about it and remember it being "I killed your father." but hey I know there are bigger star wars fans out there than me :o)
@superslowmonte hate to show my nerdom here but David Prowse never spoke that line his line was "Luke I killed your father." then James Earl Jones read the line as it appears in the movie. Before the scene was shot George took Mark to the side and told him what the line was going to be. It was very secret and hush hush back then
I think one of the re-releases should have an option to hear the original Darth Vader voice... that qualifies as a comedy in my opinion... could you imagine this voice in the infamous, "I am your father" line?
Geez .. I seriously can't envision this voice characterization speaking any of the classic lines, I just realized how much the franchise depends on the voice of Darth, amazing! The difference between a good and genius movie, all those sets, costumes, effects would have been so diminished without James Earl Jones - that much cannot be overstated. Proof it's about personalities being in balance with CGI wizardry that makes a movie a sustained classic EP IV,V,VI.
I love the physicality of David Prowse for Vader because his presnece is so powerful that it commands the respect the character deserves but if you think they should have kept his voice I would have to disagree with you entirely because James Earl Jones combined with Prowse physical appeatence is what made the whole package complete. And all those elements make the Darth Vader character epic and unforgetable.
@TheGreatZurEnRaah dude this issue should not even be talked about. that guy's voice is a fucking joke for darth vader. i half thought for a sec there that this literally was a joke.
Sorry but the voice does not match the character. He might have been a good actor but the simple fact remains that James Earl Jones made Darth Vader imposing.
@JPVero25 Ok captain dumbass, this is the reall audio of the movie, James Ear Jones was chosen to do the voice over work for Vader, the voice you are hearing is David Prowse, the ACTOR playing vador. They voiced over his voice because lets be honest, is just plain stupid. This is not a joke, this is fucking real.
Not really very intimidating with a west country accent... can't help but feel it would have been a brilliant move to keep it in the final cut though ("the force is strong with this 'un" etc).
George you just keep tinkering if that's what you want to do. The fans clamoured for the original editions on DVD, they finally got them... so the've got nothing to complain about anymore. fuck 'em... 'raped my childhood' indeed, those people are insane.
@atomicdancer- umm James Earl Jones was the voice when the movie first came out he never changed that, he knew David Prowse's voice wasn't right.... he just needed Prowse to be in the suit and say the lines so people knew what was going on
True story (Google it): in order to preserve the secret ending of Empire Strikes Back ("I am your father!"), the dialogue Prowse spoke on-set was "Obi-Wan killed your father," to which Luke screamed, "No, that's impossible!" Therefore, any leaks from the set into the pre-internet fan community would be that Kenobi killed Luke's father. Only Lucas, Jones and Hamill knew what the line was actually going to be.
How about Sauron from Lord of the Rings? Would it have been best to give him a high alto voice when he spoke? No. And sure, the British bad guy is a common one, but the voice has to fit the character. This isn't like Cutler Beckett from Pirates of the Caribbean. Do you know they changed Darth Maul's voice to a gruffer, more menacing tone? Ray Park also had a higher pitched voice not appropriate for his character.
James Earl Jones has ALWAYS been the voice of Darth Vader. There was never any release, theatrical or home video, that features David Prowse as the voice. David Prowse was simply the guy in the suit. He says the lines and all, but it was all dubbed over by Jones for the theatrical release.
@TieLandProductions Apparently the entire movie was filmed with David Prowse voice. It was a last minute decision to incorporate Jame Earl Jone's voice as Darth Vader.
i cant believe some idiot on the bonus features of Episode 4 actaully thought that Prowses accent was scottish when it was cleary a west country bristol accent i mean WTF lol
This is sheer class, Dave Prowse rules, and hes a nice man you know, he never goes around obliterating planets, hell walk u across the road safely tho, ;)
Why don't you search for Justin Lee Collins, then you will hear the Bristol accent, or Vicky Pollard from Little Britain, or Stephen Merchant from Extras.
I think he's from Bristol, The UK has THE yes people; THE most diverse span of accents in the world. Seriously, there are over 30 in england alone. Counting, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland you begin to get the picture.
the way he says "rebel alliance" sounds so weird...James Earl Jones is much better and fits well with the overall appearance. Dave Prowse might have an imposing stature, but his voice is really not that imposing...and I'm being nice here.
pardon the pun Sir Jones gave soul to this great icon
I just don't like some of the changes in the special editions especially when they replaced sebastian shaw with hayden in ROTJ and the too hi tech prequels plus of course poor choice for the roles of anakin and amidala
According to a short clip from a documentary (on Youtube), they never intended to use Prowse's voice. They were using him only as the man in the suit and he said his lines in order for the other actors to play their parts. From the beginning, their plan was to voice it over (the eventually decided on James Earl Jones).
I could be wrong, but that is what the documentary said.
The problem is, they never told Prowse they weren't going to use his voice. They all knew, even prowse, that a redubbing would be needed because of what it sounded like through the mask, but he had no idea that his voice was not going to be used. I think Lucas did, but bs'd his way through it until Prowse gets a telegram about it after the movie was released in the U.S.
Thank god for James Earl Jones and George Lucas brilliance...

I think he's from Bristol, The UK has THE yes people; THE most diverse span of accents in the world. Seriously, there are over 30 in england alone. Counting, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland you begin to get the picture.

the way he says "rebel alliance" sounds so weird...James Earl Jones is much better and fits well with the overall appearance. Dave Prowse might have an imposing stature, but his voice is really not that imposing...and I'm being nice here.

pardon the pun Sir Jones gave soul to this great icon
I just don't like some of the changes in the special editions especially when they replaced sebastian shaw with hayden in ROTJ and the too hi tech prequels plus of course poor choice for the roles of anakin and amidala

According to a short clip from a documentary (on Youtube), they never intended to use Prowse's voice. They were using him only as the man in the suit and he said his lines in order for the other actors to play their parts. From the beginning, their plan was to voice it over (the eventually decided on James Earl Jones).
I could be wrong, but that is what the documentary said.

The problem is, they never told Prowse they weren't going to use his voice. They all knew, even prowse, that a redubbing would be needed because of what it sounded like through the mask, but he had no idea that his voice was not going to be used. I think Lucas did, but bs'd his way through it until Prowse gets a telegram about it after the movie was released in the U.S.
