All right, everybody, it's finally here. It's episode number 94, the one you've been dreaming about, and now it's a reality.

I'm Bill. That's Wendy. It's the Bill and Wendy show, because our names are Bill and Wendy.

Wendy, how are you?

I'm fine. Thank you, William. How are you?

Good to hear that. I imagined this was a tough week at the Snyder McEnnerney House because of the loss of Dave Prouse, whose name probably doesn't mean that much to too many people until I say he was the man who was Darth Vader.

Not the voice of Darth Vader, but the man in the costume.

Yep.

You know what I learned, and I actually didn't learn this from my husband, Jimmy Mack, who does Rebel Force Radio, who is really the ultimate Star Wars fan in all the land or the galaxy.

I didn't realize that Dave Prouse was approached to play either Chewbacca or Darth Vader.

Because he's like six foot something. He was really tall. And he chose Darth Vader

because he said you're always remembered when you play an evil master. You know, they always remember

the bad. Yeah, no kidding. He couldn't have called that any better because he, I mean, he's synonymous forever with that role.

And it's really weird because I've heard people argue, but he didn't do the voice.

And that's true, but still, he was in the costume.

He was Darth Vader.

I know.

It's so weird how that happened.

Like, you and I got to interview Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca. Yes. And Boba Fett. Jeremy Bullock. Yeah. Who was Boba Fett, correct? Yes. Very good. Jim would be very disillusioned. You'd be turned on by now. No. he'd be mad because I kind of questioned.

He was Boba Fett, right?

Yeah, you should know that.

Yeah.

And you had such a great idea when we interviewed them.
