Darth Vader with David Prowse's Voice is Funny
This is Darth Vader's real voice before
James Earl Jones' voice was dubbed over
it. It is the voice of English
actor/weightlifter David Prowse, who was
inside the Vader costume. It's hard to
imagine what Star Wars would have been
like if Prowse's less-than-threatening
West-Country-accented voice was used.
Initially, Prowse believed that his voice
would indeed be used for Darth Vader, but
George Lucas had other plans, wanting a
"darker voice." This put Prowse at odds
with Lucas.
