Dave Prowse, the Bristolian former bodybuilder best known for playing Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy, has died aged 85.
Prowse was cast as Vader for his imposing physique, even though the role was voiced by James Earl Jones.
During this period, he reportedly became close friends with rival bodybuilding competitors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno (later better known as TV's Incredible Hulk) - long before their on-screen fame.

Of course, he only provided the body..... not the voice.
Bristolian accents weren't in vogue back then..... the world wasn't ready for "Thee doesn't know the power of the dark side, my cocker!!"
Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get me

Was also the ‘Green Cross Code’ man
They had to use another actor for the voice after he said ‘Stop Luke and listen.’
Politically incorrect since 69

It would have been better but try telling the Yanks any accent but their own is wrong
