Bulloch played an Imperial guard in ESB as well as Boba Fett. He didn't, as you said, provide Boba Fett's voice, but then even THAT voice has been replaced by that of Jay L...I'm not even going to TRY to spell his name ;-p who played Jango in AOTC. I guess TPTB reasoned that he'd sound like Jango when he was grown up, since Boba was actually the clone, not the son, of Jango.
Bulloch has been very gracious and grateful to Lucas and LFL, and regularly appears not just at Celebrations and sci-fi cons and the like, but he's a fixture at SW Weekends. He got a physical cameo someplace in AOTC, I think, and the voice cameo in ROTS that you mentioned.
Had Prowse followed Bulloch's lead, he probably still wouldn't have been able to wear Vader's suit in Episode III, due to the physical impairments I listed in a previous post, but Lucas very well may have invited him to the set, to maybe coach Hayden on walking and gesturing while in the suit, and he may have gotten a cameo or two himself.
Instead, Prowse chose to slam Lucas and bitch and moan nonstop for decades, lending his warped perspective to any bedwetter who was willing to listen (and too lazy to check readily available facts). I don't know how he can possibly be surprised that he's been dis-invited to Celebration V, or that Lucas didn't let him play Suited!Vader in Episode III as he requested...heck, demanded, and expected. He reminds me of a particularly nasty girl I knew in sixth grade, who picked on me mercilessly, but then actually had the gall to be offended when I didn't invite her to my birthday party that year. Just like lazypadawan, I'm only surprised it took LFL this long to declare him persona non grata.
I wish they'd ban EWeakly too, but I guess it's "too popular" an entertainment rag to do away with. Though...didn't Lucas refuse to give them a cover-story interview for ROTS as he had for TPM and AOTC? Myself, I ended my subscription in 2002, not just out of disgust for their prequel-bashing, and indeed, their bashing of All The Star Wars Films That Aren't ESB, but out of disgust for their biased and factually inaccurate accounting of "X-Files" after David Duchovny announced he was departing the show and Mulder was replaced by Poochie, aka Doggett.
