There are things that happen by
design, and there is pure serendipity. One such occasions was
snapped by the Daily Mail as Dave Prowse - the original Darth Vader -
and Mark Hamill - one of cinema's greatest heroes Luke Skywalker - met
on the morning of the first day of Celebration Europe. |
|
There couldn't possibly be a cooler
venue for this reunion, the corridor of the Tantive IV, and so early on
a fresh July 13th the two sci-fi icons sat down with a borrowed Artoo
Detoo and began to reminisce... |

"David Prowse and Mark Hamill, Star
Wars Father and Son, re-united for a Daily Mail shoot on the morning of
Friday 13th. The first time they had seen each other since Return Of The
Jedi had wrapped..." |

"Two of the finest gents
ever! The wonderful David Prowse and the charming Mark Hamill. " |

"Oliver Steeples of the R2 Builders
chatting to Mark Hamill. Oliver lent us his half finished R2 Unit for
the shoot, it was all that was available at such an early hour. Cheers
Oliver." |

Barry -
"This was
the first time Mark and David had been able to get together for a chat
since they finished filming Return of The Jedi. It was a real honour to
witness their reunion." |
