Yes he will be missed that's for sure he had quite the voice and talent that was very unique when he was on stage singing to a full crowd of people.

Former Olympic fencer Bob Anderson, the man who wielded Darth Vader's light saber, died Sunday at 89, according to the British Academy of Fencing.

He passed with very little notice and I think that sucks. Besides being the man behind Darth Vaders light saber in the original trilogy he was also a sword double for Errol Flynn, taught actors to swordfight in Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Three Musketeers, The Mask of Zorro, The Legend of Zorro, Die Another Day and The Parent Trap. More importantly he was the man behind the sword fights in The Princess Bride. He didn't stand in but he taught them how to fight, even left handed!

and with 6 fingers...Inconceivable!!!

**Tails** · 01-11-2012, 09:52 AM

RIP, I never even thought about who played Vader. Really cool how he taught people swordfighting.

**warghoul** · 01-11-2012, 10:45 AM

I don't think he played vader some big dude who played Frankenstein was vader.
I think DB was saying he just did the light saber battles.

**Dudebro** · 01-11-2012, 02:55 PM

Well technically he did play Vader since a big part of the character was his ability to duel. Imo it's just as important as James Earl Jones doing the voice.

**warghoul** · 01-11-2012, 03:07 PM

David prowes played vader though Anderson was his stunt double

**Dudebro** · 01-11-2012, 03:21 PM

It's like how they used to make old monster movies. It would take several people to bring a character to life. Now with CGI we lose that collaboration in favor of some techs working on a PC and some emo mediocre actor.
