THE
Lord of the Sith, visited Merseyside, over 18 August and 19
August 2012 and proved to be a fantastic hit in all the
locations he visited. The legend behind the costume, Dave Prowse
MBE has himself been a force to be reckoned with thoughout his
life and what a life he has had. His appearance here was to
promote the 'Official Dave Prowse Autograph'
called:- 'Straight From The Force's Mouth', a book
that covers many aspects of this actors’ life. The book is a
fantastic insight into the man himself, looking not at the only
story of how he got his defining role which led to the creation
of what has been voted "the most iconic and recognised
baddy of all times", Lord Vader. But also considers his
other achievements. For example he was also a world class
heavyweight weightlifting champion, for Britain, in events
including the Commonwealth Games and the World Weightlifting
Championships! That is not forgetting what he considers to be
his most rewarding role, the Green Cross Code Man. The event
started at Formby Pool on the Saturday, followed by a signing at
Formby Book's, whose owner, Tony Higginson, has been the sponsor
behind the actor’s visit. Then on Sunday he visited the Flower
Show in Southport and ended the event with a very exclusive
night in Southport, at The
Cellar, Under the Tourist
Information Centre, in the very heart of the town. To the lucky
ticket holders he revitalised many amazing stories and
anecdotes, along with signing copies of memorabilia, photos, and
of course giving his autograph. Dave Prowse MBE told us
exclusively:- "This has been one of the best book
signing trips I have
ever had. The people in the hotel, at the events and all around, have
been so friendly and even with the poor weather! I have to say
your area has captivated me. I would truly like to return, even
if it is just for a holiday! Thank you to all the staff at the venues,
shows,
hotel and to all of you who attended the events. Also a massive thank
you to Tony for his fantastic work planning and taking me to and
from all the locations. But special thanks has to go to the three Stormtroopers and the girl who played Princess Leia."
Here at Southport Reporter, we would like to say officially
that:- "It has been a pleasure for us to have met you once
again. Thank you for delivering a fantastic series of events
over the weekend. We wish you well with your visit to the US and
Canada and hope to see you again soon."
We will be
adding some video very soon, taken at the exclusive event in The
Cellar. Please enjoy Part 1 of our photograpic
