Denied! David Prowse Disinvited From Celebration!

[lazypadawan]

David Prowse has been booted from the roster of guests appearing at Celebration V. Why? Lucasfilm declared him persona non grata. Here's what Prowse posted on his site:

"It is with regret that I have been informed by my friends at C2 Ventures, Ben and Phillip, that I am not to be invited to C5 this year or any other Lucas Film associated events. After enquiring, the only thing I have been told is that I have "burnt too many bridges between Lucas Film and myself" - no other reason given."

TFN verified this with its co-owner/Rebelscum owner/Official Pix owner Philip Wise:

"Lucasfilm does have the right to prevent celebrity invitations to official Star Wars conventions and they did exercise this right as it relates to Dave Prowse and Celebration V."

Burnt too many bridges? Ya think? The only thing shocking about this whole story is why it took this long for it to happen. Prowse hasn't had much of anything kind to say about his former boss over the past few decades, yet he's been to prior Celebrations and other events.

Speculate and discuss.

This is the first I've heard of it. *Shrug.*

It was leaked back in April. LFL tried to cover it up really fast and claim it as "misinformation" even though it was true.

So Prowse was the one who resurrected this non-story. Sad. Sad man.
