I'm surprised that cat is putting up with that.

I see pics and videos all the time of dogs wearing hats or sunglasses...mine will have nothing to do with any of that!

If the tallest one played Darth Vader, then I can identify all but one of these people.

The tallest one played Chewbacca. Darth is in

Han Solo, Darth Vader (body, not voice), Chewbacca.

Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker.

R2D2.

The guy who physically played Vader in the originals three films had some kind of fall-out with George Lucas and was cut from the final Vader Death scene.

David Prowse, I believe?  IIrc, Prowse thought he was going to be the voice of Vader as well as the actor.  When he heard James Earl Jones, he was pissed.  Pretty sure that's the root of it all.

Oh yeah, he was pissed. I could have sworn he didn't find out until premiere night but I'll be damned if I can't find a reference to it. Regardless it was kind of a dick move on Lucas' part. I think they've washed their hands of him, but fans have been calling for him to get some kind of nod in the newer Star Wars movies...though Prowse is now into his 80s and in a wheelchair, so I don't know how they'd do that.

They originally chose him because he was a 6'6" bodybuilder, but his accent was indeed a major issue.
