^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ PROWSE and VADER and LUCAS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The thing in the National Enquirer is drek.
The scenes using the other actor as the unmasked Vader were NOT
shot later, for Prowse encountered "Anakin" during the regular
filming when he stopped by the studio although he wasn't
scheduled for anything that day. (He later said to my friend
The Ultimate STAR WARS Fan, whom old SF-L'ers will remember from
TESB discussions, that it was rather disturbing to run into
one's own corpse.)
It is also unlikely that Prowse gave away RotJ's plot. He had
gained a reputation for a loose tongue when TESB was in the
works and Lucasfilms kept a very close watch on him. For
instance, after replying to a query at a con as to whether some
minor character from an earlier episode was also in RotJ, that
the fellow was, he got a sharp letter from Lucasfilms threatening
legal action.
