    R.I.P. Bob Anderson

    I don't know if anyone else here so this yet but Bob Anderson just passed away. If you don't know who he is, He played Darth Vader during all the lightsaber duels in the original trilogy.

    I thought that was David Prowse.......

      Sounds like he had a long and great career and got to meet a lot of great actors. May the Force be with him.

        @Tony David Prowse did play Darth Vader but only in the non-fight scenes. According to the article, Prowse was not very good with a sword/lightsaber so Anderson, who is a movie sword master, played Darth Vader during the duel scenes

        @Cotto Yeah he was quite the movie sword master and although he is not a household name, he made a huge impact in the movie world. Sometimes those with the smallest parts end up being the biggest stars. He will surely be missed.
