He assessed and then passed me on my cycling proficiency test as the green cross code man. But I still tell people that Darth Vader told me that I was safe to ride my bike on the road.

Apologies for the missing indefinite article, btw.
Until the third to last sentence I thought you might have discovered the holy grail there Dirk, the equivalent of an article about Portmeirion that didn’t mention ‘The Prisoner’ or about HMHB that didn’t mention ‘The Tube’. The search goes on.

It’s quite entertaining to look up the footage as filmed of Prowse’s scenes in Star Wars before they dubbed in James Earl Jones. He gives it a good go but lines like “tear this ship apart” don’t have quite the same menace. You can see why all the cast thought the whole film was a complete turkey.

“Prowse’s (Darth Vader) voice would later be replaced with a more menacing performance“
