From Twitterstorian Sean Tucker… actor David Prowse (who portrayed the physical form of Darth Vader) was in for a surprise just before seeing Star Wars in 1977!

Darth Prowse (David Prowse): Off to the Star Wars premiere. Very excited. I hope my voice sounds cool. It’s so hard to talk in that stupid mask!

From Twitterstorian Victoria Bracknell…

SiggyF (Sigmund Freud): Streets very much ice today. Almost slipped walking to office. People laughed. I still don’t know why that’s funny.
