[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 2361531, member: 3570"] Even though your post was quoted Rackhir, I was actually replying to the sentiment that Sebastian Shaw got "screwed" which was expressed by another poster. James Earl Jones' contribution to the character of Vader had much more of an impact. Where's his acknowledgement? Why wasn't his face under the mask? Or maybe Ralph McQuarrie's face should have been used since he designed the costume. But it was George himself who invented the character so maybe it should have been him. It just gets silly when you break it down as a criticism against Lucas. Prowse was paid for being the body of Vader. And given screen credit. That's what everyone in the film industry (except for Prowse if memory serves) considers to be a "nice little acknowledgement." Prowse wasn't hired or paid to be Anakin Skywalker so him being under the mask would have been about as appropriate as using Harrison Ford. George is a nice enough guy when it comes to that sort of thing. He rewarded Warwick Davis, Anthony Daniels, Ahmed Best, family members, and many in the crew with little unmasked cameos throughout the films, he's not a bad guy for not doing it for every single person who was hired and paid for other roles.
