    Just re-watched this excellent Documentary that was included in a Star Wars Boxset not sure which one, I think I bought the disc separately in a charity shop, (because my trilogy set is the one with the originals as well as the 1997 version) and I was wondering what the members of SHTV think of this Doc, I was very surprised that it did not have any contributions from the actor that played The Emperor and Darth Vader himself the mighty David Prowse, any thoughts from anyone that has seen it ?

    David Prowse has been on the outs with Lucasfilm for probably 20 years. They sent him a cease and desist letter for going to conventions and signing " David Prowse is Darth Vader." Here is a pretty good documentary about him: I Am Your Father (2015) - IMDb

    I think it's a great documentary, it celebrates Star Wars but it's candid enough that it doesn't become an unbearable marketing fest. I've watched it a handful of times over the years though I don't always finish it because the second half isn't quite as interesting as the first half. It sort of goes down hill during the making of Return of the Jedi.
