The original voice of Darth Vader, David Prowse, before George Lucas got all obsessive about 'perfecting' his 'vision', and redubbed the role with James Earl Jones.

Damn you, George Lucas! When will you stop 'fixing' things in Star Wars?!

  • 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...

    "Take her away!" LOL

  • Thank god for James Earl Jones and George Lucas brilliance...

  • 0:23 i thought he said "start taking this shit apart!!" LMAOO

  • 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.

  • The difference is that when he changed Darth Vader's voice it actually improved the movie.

  • @RaidonSama hes being a bitch. thats explained it.

  • @OmarGudmunds That's why several actors have portrayed him throughout his various incarnations.

  • I can see why he replaced the voice of Vader, Jones is a much more suited evil villain.

  • U R PART OF THE REBEL ALYIANCE AN A TRAITOR. Takeheraway
