I read an article once that said that David Prowse did not know that George Lucas was going to dub his voice with that of James Earl Jones for the original 1977 Star Wars (I hate that "A New Hope" revised title). Prowse put his heart and soul into the dialogue, and acting.

It was only at the premier when he realized that James Earl Jones' voice was coming out of his body.

That must have been one giant kick in the Jimmy.

A dual kick.
James Earl Jones didn’t have a credit in the original 1977 version of Star Wars.

I don’t like the “A New Hope” revised title either.

And maybe I’m just missing something obvious, but I don’t even know what that title means. Who was hoping for what?

I talked to a few people about Star Wars, and other people don’t seem to know either what exactly the hope is all about in that movie.
