Alan Cynic Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 which darth vader? there's a few different people that could meanhis voice' date=' his body, his face, or haydn.wow, maybe his breathing too actuallyoh, and the little tosser who played him in episode 1[/quote']It was Dave Prowse, who was the 'body' one, but it was when he was the Green Cross Code man, which doesn't sound quite so great. He should have dressed up as Darth Vader and scared seven shades of shite out of the little blighters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Totally unfamous, but got on the local news. My uncle drove the road sweeper for the council years back. went into a shop one day to get fags or something, and the handbrake didnt go on properly, and mentioned road sweeper went through the doors of the local woolworths....and people still tried to go into the shop to buy things that day!

Little did we know that the jolly gigantic man with the Yorkshire accent was Darth Vader, though! My old classmate (who now does match reports on Sportsound on a Saturday afternoon) had to go in a go - kart and act out a scene with Mr Prowse - legendary!

Has its benefits, got a vip ticket to Idlewilds last gig in the deen.My sister is mates with the Guitarist from snow patrol (nathan). I met him at a party once before he was in snow patrol, he was dressed as Cruella De Ville and I was a Lost Boy. I was drunk and he was, ahem, something else...I was on North Tonight recently walking down Belmont Street. It was a feature about how Aberdeen is becoming more trendy which makes me extremely cool 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I met Chino Moreno, the singer from the Deftones and my all time hero this year in Glasgow. I was also on the news ages ago, falling down a hill in a bright yellow sweater when an exchange teacher from Japan came to my primary school in Shetland. My Dad was on....fuck...it was on ITV and there were different groups like the Aberdeen Womens Guild vs Aberdeen Coastguard and such like. My Dad was on that...for the Aberdeen Coastguard...sporting the best 80s cockduster I've ever seen. My Uncle is a HUGE Rangers fan and has flown out to European games with the team, met pretty much all the players/managers frequently for the past...20 years? And is on first name terms with the chairman. On another Rangers related note, my brother got stood up by Alex McCleish's (sp?) daughter but eventually got a date with her much to her fathers surprise when my Uncle mentioned it to him.

Why can't I meet non Star Wars celebs??Don't think anyone in my family is famous. My Dad is infamous for getting drunk at The Great Keith Show a few years back and having his rigger boots stolen off his feet while asleep in the pub. My uncle used to tell me he played for Aberdeen but that was a lie. Not very exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
