A heartfelt documentary about fan devotion and the redemption of a forgotten actor, built on interviews and the genuine effort to restore dignity to a man erased from his own legacy.

David Prowse is an eighty years old actor, who has lived behind Darth Vader's mask during three decades. A group of Star Wars fans find out why he has been apparently forgotten by Lucasfilm during thirty years, and decide to give him back the glory he never had. This is their last opportunity.
