    Storyline

    Edit
    David Prowse, the actor who played Darth Vader at the first Star Wars Trilogy, never revealed his face during the films. He could have done it only once at "Return of the Jedi", but something happened. Another actor did that sequence and that fact marked David Prowse life for ever. Thirty years later, a young filmmaker discovers why the producers took that decision, and is determined to pay Dave a deserved tribute, almost impossible. —Toni Bestard & Marcos Cabotá

    Informative and emotional.
    I have been a Star Wars fan my entire life and have never really thought about the man who was in the Darth Vader costume. This movie did a great job of telling his story and I'm really glad I watched it.
