Prowse was strong built during SW but has lost most of his muscles in that pic
Well, it is all there: "Fitness Is Fun" by Dave David Prowse. W.H. Allen / Virgin Books (1. Juni 1979).
In this book Mr. Prowse says something about Star Wars and his recent role being Darth Vader (and there's all kinds of personal history) and there are many, many pictures of Mr. Prowse doing exercises in a tight sports-suit that gives definite answers to all the questions about his muscles and body-dimensions while he was playing ANH Darth Vader.
This is a hot topic in my radar right now, so it's interesting that you brought this thread up again.
I have some questioning of the Vader measurements that are posted by No Humor Man.
First, I think that the height is agreed in general that he was 198, and not 200,66cm?
Plus I wonder if I just simple change the overall height, are there other measurements that have to change in order to maintain proportion? I know prowse had a long torso and long arms.
I'm just looking to see if we have a general consensus yet.
