In more sad news it has been announced that the original actor to play Darth Vader has sadly passed away at 85.

David Prowse MBE played the sith lord in the original Star Wars trilogy and was nicknamed "Darth Farmer" by Carrie Fisher due to his strong West Country accent.

Mr Prowse was also known in the UK for being the Green Cross Code man, educating kids on how to cross the road safely in a series of tv ads in the '70s among his many other roles.

His agent confirmed the sad news this morning. Rest in peice Mr Prowse.

Almost forgot that he isn't the only person involved in Star Wars to die this year. The modeler and animatronics engineer for R2D2 in the prequel trilogy Grant Imahara died in July from a brain aneurysm at 49.

Today we lost another legend from the Starwars franchise. RIP Jeremy Bulloch the actor who played my favourite character Boba Fett.

That is especially sad, due to the success of Bobas return in The Mandalorian I'm sure he would've had a little more attention due that.

RIP Jeremy. :sad:

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
