David Prowse Saved By The "Force"

Posted By TFN on October 1, 2009

We all know how powerful & ominous the Dark Lord of the Sith is. With his glowing red lightsaber and intimate knowledge of the Dark Side, Darth Vader is a presence not to be taken lightly. Who would dare cross his path? Can anything truly stop this "tower of power"?

The answer is yes...and it just so happens to be everyday traffic.

See the following excerpt from a news report sent in to us by our official IndyCast correspondent Mitchell Hallock courtesy of BBC.co.uk:

"Dave Prowse, who plays Darth Vader in the Star Wars films, was saved by the Highways Agency motorway rescue force.

He was standing behind a barrier, intimidated by the speed of passing traffic when help arrived.

The force helped him get to a Star Wars group's reunion at the National Space Centre in Leicester."

Thanks for the article Mitch!
