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!
