WWIIREBEL Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Sad....sucks when ego's get in the way. hurts the fans more than anyone else though Werent there other actors from these films that were also disgruntled with the SW genre??.I seem to recall somewhere on an article that an actor or two were tired of it.

Scootch Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Must be the end times...... how can there be a Star Wars without Dave Prowse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsonik1 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I think this is proof that a certain writer/director cares more about himself/his ego than he does the fans of his films... If it wasnt for people like Prowse, who go to the cons to meet the fans, the franchise would have likely died a looong time ago. Who's he gonna get sick of next, Ray Park, Jeremy Bullock?...... ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Werent there other actors from these films that were also disgruntled with the SW genre??.I seem to recall somewhere on an article that an actor or two were tired of it.Mark Hammill was a lil disgruntled a few years ago. Acusing GL of ruining his career. This just sux. I can't belive David Prowse is not gonna ba at C5. Im glad I got his autograph at C4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Im just hoping he doesnt decide that he no longer needs us. Ive been watching how LFL events are done and whats interesting is that there is usually no mention of the legion. I guess we will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Short TRooper Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 :angry: I cannot believe GL did that to Mr. Prowse...with out him and James Earl Jones the franchise might be a bit diffrent right now...men's ego's suck...and this was a down right petty move. If I had the money I would of loved to of seen Dave Prowse at a SW convention!!! And if the other actors have had problems then I don't blame them for getting upset if GL treats them like that.

iconoclasta_88 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 This is very sad news! I met Dave Prowse in a con in Mexico a few years ago. He seemed to be a very cool down to earth guy. Thats a lot for the most powerfull important villian in the whole Galaxy. He came back to Guadalajra, Mexico a few months ago and he even went out for dinner and tequila with the local troops over there. Everyone said he was super cool. Its very sad when personal interests are more important than fans and fandom all around. And I find it interesting too why LFL seem to always need/use us for events, but almost never (or never) credits the Legion in official releases, press, credits or anything. Did they say that the troops at the Rose Parade were 501st troopers? Or at Disney's SW weekends? Can't remember. Just curious. Saludos.
