Real-life Darth Vader Actor David Prose said George Lucas has been using fraudulent but legal "Hollywood Accounting" to avoid paying actor royalties. This is a common scam in Hollywood where the film studio fakes expenses so that highly profitable movies make a loss, so they can avoid paying actors their fair share of royalties.



Which might explain the recent real-life events where a guy in a Darth Vader mask robbed a bank. Customers thought it was a joke. It wasn't. He was a mean and nasty bastard. It's a nice reminder that if you ever did meet the real-life Darth Vader and ran to him like the swooning fanboy you are he would kill you without a second thought. Why do people insist on worshiping the bad guys?

Of course this criminal got away with we guess a few thousand. George Lucas has been robbing his own actors far more. Who is the bigger criminal?

Lucas responded by cutting Prowse from future Star Wars events. What an asshole.

I guess they couldn't get a loan for Death Star 3.

Isn't the studio's share obscenely large enough? I hate it when people are scammed out of their hard earned cash.
