RIP.
I always thought James Earl Jones was Darth???
Edit: oh ok, after reading the article I see he only voiced Darth. -
Yes, the guy's voice in the suit wouldn't be all that intimidating.

He's looking for somebody to give him a reason to laser them in half.
He's been Darth Vader on Halloween night for years now. Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

I see it now...
You are correct!
He dumped the superman image after that day. Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

In an interview David Prowse said that he wasn’t aware that the voice of James Earl Jones would be substituted until he actually saw the movie.

David...wait for it...may the force be with you.
If you've never watched the Chad Vader videos, you owe to yourself to do so. Chad is the less-charismatic, younger brother of Darth, who is an assistant manager at a grocery store...

My Dad picked this up for me while on a business trip in NJ back in the late 70s maybe. From what I recall he waited in line forever....I believe it was David Prowse doing the autographs although confirming the authenticity was never the important thing to me all these years, so I never bothered...
