TSR Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 The man that played Darth Vader in the OT, David Prowse, is battling prostate cancer Bad times. Although as far as I am aware, prostate cancer is easily managed in certain scenarios, it still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Wish him all the best. It'd be terrible for the Dark Lord of the Green Cross Code to go out that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrrtoken Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 He needs a cybernetic augmentation on his prostate. In the meantime, he can get artificial respirators and armor plating, y'know, for show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 James Earl Jones had the Iconic voice (with a little help from a sound engineer) But the sheer beastliness and swagger is all Prowse! Get well soon big guy, The Force is with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litofsky Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Here's to a quick defeat of said cancer for the Dark Lord of the Sith Mr. Prowse and a most excellent recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I find this news disturbing. I hope he recovers and gets well soon. I can imagine how many puns he's assaulted with daily. "No, I AM YOUR DOCTOR." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHawke Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Cancer is a real battle... hope he gets better. He mentioned "catching it early" so that's good news in and of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Catching it early is a very good sign. Get well soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Oh man, that's cold. yet still packed with humor. Well, at least Rhett is using that horrible scene for a good cause. James Earl Jones had the Iconic voice (with a little help from a sound engineer) But the sheer beastliness and swagger is all Prowse! Correct. Prowse brought a lot of personality to Vader through the use of body language. That combined with James Earl Jones' awesome voice made for a great character whose depth has sadly not been seen in Star Wars since. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, my lord.

Aash Li Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Prostate cancer is only a serious problem when it gets advanced. Otherwise its fairly easily managed. I think they just treat you with estrogen (reduces the testosterone levels) to keep the prostate from swelling. I hope he gets better, It might not be as serious as some cancers but its still cancer.
