    David Prowse, the original Darth Vader, dies aged 85

    British actor David Prowse, who played Darth Vader in the original "Star Wars" trilogy, has died aged 85, his management company announced Sunday.

    Prowse died after a short illness, according to his agent Thomas Bowington. CNN reported in 2018 that Prowse was being treated for prostate cancer.
    "It's with great regret and heart-wrenching sadness for us and million of fans around the world, to announce that our client DAVE PROWSE M.B.E. has passed away at the age of 85," Bowington Management said on Twitter Sunday.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      He was a familiar face on British TV throughout the 1970's with his lovable scrumpy accent. If they'd ever made a parody of Darth his somerset drawl would have been perfect.
      RIP

        RIP - his face was pretty well known as the Green Cross Code man back in the 70's. It was quite funny when we found out he was also Lord Vader.

        I was only joking

          In an interview with UK’s The Sun, Prowse daughter Rachel confirmed that her father, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, had been hospitalized for the last two weeks with Covid. Confirming the cause of death, Rachel Prowse said, “It’s horrible that Covid restrictions meant we did not get to see him and say goodbye. But when we went to collect his stuff from the hospital the nurse said what a cool guy he was. He was such a larger-than-life character. He would have loved to see himself trending on Twitter.”
