It also does not have much weight coming from Kurtz (who was being fired during ESB for incompetence and had nothing to do with ROTJ and Prowse (who seemed to have be acting as jerk for years before he eventually got banned from LF events).

Do you have a reliable source for your claim re: Kurtz? I’ve never read or seen anything to suggest he was fired for incompetence, only that he left post-ESB due to creative differences. Even Lucas has never suggested that, despite the clear acrimony between them.

Prowse has been lied to and screwed over by Lucas from day one, so I’m not surprised he was “acting as jerk”. I certainly trust him more than Lucas when it comes to the history of these movies, considering Lucas’ entire version of events has been contradicted by other figures in one way or another over the years. It seems more likely to me that Prowse was banned from LFL events for not sticking to the ‘official story’.
