David Prowse, the actor and bodybuilder who filled out Darth Vader’s tall frame in the original "Star Wars" trilogy has died. He was 85.

Although James Earl Jones provided the voice for the space villain, it was Prowse’s 6-foot-7-inch frame that hid beneath Vader’s armor while he matched lightsabers with his son Luke Skywalker.

The actor’s lines were dubbed because of his Bristol, England, accent, according to BBC News.

Well, he did play one of the most recognizable movie characters of all time, and one of the most popular villains in history.

Where is DV at? I would have expected him to write his own Obituary.

What if I told you it was possible to enjoy the movies without being obsessed with them.
