Definitely a missed opportunity having Darth Vader with a Bristolian accent

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He did all the lines and Lucas decided the accent didn’t work so hired James Earl Jones to dub it.

You couldn't have him from Bristol "Luke I am your Uncle Dad" ?

Prowse was from Bristol, not Sandwell.

The Beeb showed some footage of star wars with his accent, it wouldn't have worked at all

"Luke, my luvver, I'm yer Daaaa"

 

[Keef]

Can't have the most evil man in the galaxy( he was wasn't he? Never seen the films so I don't know) sounding like he's in the wurzels

 

[Pablowolf]

I guess The Emperor was the most evil man.

You've never seen Star Wars?

 

[Keef]

Nope, 9yo when it came out, never got round to it, so pointless watching the later ones, then everyone says oh you've got to watch it it's awesome, never actually got round to it, because it didn't really appeal, so yea never seen it.
Also never seen stuff like the wire, sopranos and all that stuff mainly because I haven't owned a TV for coming up to 25 years! And to round off the full weirdo haven't owned a car for 21 years, i cycle and public transport it everywhere or taxi if it's urgent
