LONDON — Bob Anderson, a former Olympic swordsman who staged fights for films including the “Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings” series, has died, British fencing authorities said Monday. He was 89.
The British Academy of Fencing said Monday that Anderson died early New Year’s Day at an English hospital.
Anderson donned Darth Vader’s black helmet and fought light saber battles in two of the three original “Star Wars” films, “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.”
The villainous character was played by David Prowse and voiced by James Earl Jones, and Anderson’s role was not initially publicized.
But Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, said in a 1983 interview that “Bob Anderson was the man who actually did Vader’s fighting.”

Did you know that Too much television may shorten your life? I didn’t know until i read this article on G.N. which stated that “Six hours of TV a day can cut life expectancy by nearly five years, research shows”. Another interesting thing that i discovered was that “every hour of TV watched after the age of 25 may shorten lifespan by 22 minutes.” This scares me as I’m getting close to the mentioned age.
