Gelungene Doku, die eine weitere, bis dato unbekannte Anekdote aus dem Star Wars-Universum interessant und kurzweilig beleuchtet. Ärgerlich nur, dass ausgerechnet die große Schlussszene, der Höhepunkt des Films, auf den ständig hingearbeitet wird, aus Lizenzgründen nicht gezeigt werden kann.

Darth Vader, one of the best known cinema villains of all time has nothing on his creator, the evil George Lucas.
Filmmaker Marcos Cabota opens the lid on the rocky relationship between Lucas Films and the man under the helmet, David Prowse.
I knew part of the story, but didn't know the full version of why the man who played Vader in the first 3 SW films hasn't seen his fair share of the rewards, unlike other actors, made famous by the biggest sci fi franchise in the world.
It would be unfair to go into too much detail, as it will spoil the revelations the documentary has to offer.
Prowse himself, speaks candidly about what transpired before, during and after he put on the infamous costume. Cabota interviews a plethora of cast and crew in an attempt to somehow get justice for the now retired actor.
Even if you dont have a fondness for the SW franchise, give this a watch.
