[HK 47]

Dave Prowse arrives to Stockholm to attend the Scandinavian Sci-Fi and Fantasy Con this weekend. There was an interview in Stockholm City Entertainment with the Sith Lord. Rough translation by your assasin/protocol droid. I know this is commonplace for those of you attending the con circuit in the US and the interview is a bit silly, but it's a pretty big event over here.

SC: What's up?
DV: I'm fine. But I still have trouble breathing. Inhaling is a bit hard. I'm almost sure it's asthma.
SC: So it's not due to smoking?
DV: No, I don't smoke. Besides there are no tobacco stores on the Death Star. But apart from that the Death Star is the coolest place in the universe. We got jacuzzis, discos... everything.
SC: What are you doing in Stockholm then?
DV: I'm gonna write autographs. It's an annual thing for all fans of Sci-Fi and fantasy.
SC: Another bad guy, Sauron, is coming too. Admit it, you're a bit scared of him?
DV: Haha! No, not at all. It's probably the other way around. I'm sure he's jealous that I can strangle people from a distance.
SC: I've thought about that. Why do you fence so much when you can do that strangling thing?
DV: I fence to impress.
SC: What else are you doing in Stockholm? Any chance of a pub visit?
DV: I hope so. When I get some time over I'll try the nightlife. Maybe a beer or something.
SC: Do you use a straw?
DV: Yeah, it's difficult otherwise.
SC: You're an ace at fencing! Who's your role-model?
DV: Errol Flynn! He was a great fencer. I've watched many old Errol movies on the Death Star.
SC: There's a lot of talk of the dark side. How do you turn somebody to the dark side?
DV: You've got to be convincing. A bit like the "Godfather"... make an offer no one can resist. It's not that difficult.
SC: What else do you darksiders do? Any parties?
DV: That was a long time ago. But we really enjoy ourselves just as much as the good guys.
SC: Do you know there's a Swedish band called "Han Solo"?
DV: No I didn't. I listen mostly to the heavier stuff, like death metal.
SC: Do you sleep in that suit, or do you have a pyjamas?
DV: I wear the mask. But I usually wear a black silk pyjamas. I also hook up a respirator, so I can breathe a little easier.
SC: What's the suit made of?
DV: Ewoks. We skinned four of them and put it together. (HK 47: If only...) Nice isn't it?
SC: Yeah but what are the buttons for?
DV: Bodily functions. Like peeing and stuff...
SC: Must be easy to pick up chicks in it?
DV: You have no idea...

[Just your average movie goer]

Thanks, HK-47. That was a great read.... nice, simple, lighthearted with many a laugh. Just what the doctor ordered.

IS there a Swedish group called Han Solo?

I really loved it HK 47. I am not often here these days (after JYAMG finished his series of outing), because sometimes the discussion is too. well, heavy. And this is a good laugh for a change.
