>Luke, did I ever tell you about the time I was one of the most respected actors in the world, performing in renowned films such as Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Bridge on the River Kwai and A Passage to India? I even got an Oscar and a Knighthood in recognition for my talent and excellence. Then, while I was between shooting masterpieces with David Lean, a nerd named George Lucas begged me to play a samurai wizard from space in his sci-fi/fantasy flick. I took it to be nice, even though it meant saying lines such as "Only a master of evil Darth". Somehow, despite Lucas's bungling, it was a huge success and he roped me into appearing in the two equally idiotic sequels. I didn’t want to, but my code of honor as British gentleman and an actor prevented me from leaving a project unfinished. Now that's those movies are the only thing people remember me for. When you search my name on Google Images, the first result is from a website called “Wookiepedia”. My legacy is ruined forever thanks to Lucas. He was a good friend.

Peter Cushing had a better attitude about it. He said something like he didn't mind Star Wars because it was something kids enjoyed, I don't have the exact quote

what they won't tell you is that guinness traded a standard salary for 2% of the film's profits and iirc, merchandising shit too.

the fucker was rolling in the money when he croaked. while he still is a fucking fantastic actor (he says his portrayal of hitler is his best role ever btw), don't let him fool you for some old fart.

He's still known for those things to everybody except Star Wars fanboys and Star Wars made Guinness so much money that he could afford to only do projects he really wanted to do for the rest of his life. So really it wasn't a bad deal.

jew wars is cultural cancer, it ruined hollywood movies and lets be honest a lot of things about hollywood movies were already shit.

Lucas is probably right up there with some of the prolific pornographer kikes in terms of spreading degeneracy and mental illness throughout the world, although im not entirely sure it was quite as intentional with him, he just started a trend.

The former lead to a world where we think its normal to jack off to double-anal piss drinking asians, the latter led to a world where millions will pay to shamble into a room to watch something that is sheer, unadulterated, infantile garbage, bonafide intellectual scat, insulting to anyone that has two fucking braincells to rub together, and enjoy it.

anyhow fuck this cunt, anyone knighted is not to be trusted and deserves the rope

Well, when he wasn't trying to kill Christopher Lee, Cushing did do Shakespeare and Jane Austin material. Not unusual for the English scene, at least for the time.

I think we did like roles that kids would enjoy though, so I think he had some interest in this film and a few others (like his two Doctor Who films) based on that interest.

Because films tend to lose money like crazy and you only get paid if the movie made a profit. That's why it's called Profit Participation

As far as I remember, Prowse leaked the plot ending of Return of Jedi where Vader's mask is taken off. He was going to play Anakin Skywalker in that final Vader scene, but his excitement got the better of him and he let it slip to the press, costing him his job.

Don't think he leaked anything before that.

Take it with a grain of salt but Lucas said he never intended to use Prowse as the unmasked Vader. Prowse didn't have the right voice for it.

Considering everyone referred to Prowse as 'Darth Farmer' on set, because of his West Country accent, it was probably the latter - Lucas never intended to use him.

Of course, one can never be too sure about original intentions from the guy who made the special editions.
