I agree, but I have not heard Prowse say anything against Jones direct. 

edited - I found this interview in which Prowse seems very fair to Jones.

On the other hand I can understand his resentment toward Lucas, if, as Prowse claims, Lucas promised that his voice would be used, and then used Jones anyway.  I am not sure if this is true or not, but I can believe it of Lucas.  Much as I appreciate Prowse performance though, his accent really would not have worked for Vader. 

Does anyone have a link of Prowse criticising the prequels?
