Then you hear about stuff like this:<br /> <br />David Prowse, the guy in the Darth Vader costume in the first three films hasn't been paid a cent for Return of the Jedi because Lucas claims the film hasn't made a profit.<br /><br />“I get these occasional letters from Lucasfilm saying that we regret to inform you that as Return of the Jedi has never gone into profit, we’ve got nothing to send you.”<br /><br />Box Office Mojo puts the lifetime take at $475 million, not including the $88 million it made upon re-release in 1997.
