So who else was there? Bob Anderson had been Britain's Senior National Fencing Coach for thirty years. Anderson doubled for David Prowse in Empire's dueling sequences but also helped choreograph the fights. Vader seems to meet all the criteria for the perfect space villain on the surface- deep voiced, black clad, heavy breather and built 2m high for battle. He employs his extra sensory powers to keep Emperor Palpatine in power. Vaders 'dark side' aids Governor Tarkin in the destruction of the rebels. In 1980 Star Wars "Empire Strikes Back" becomes the 'Years Best Movie' exposing an inescapable truth between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker.
Remember, Darth Vader is Master of the Dark Forces and wants you!

You are always so knowledgable about stuff like this. I feel like I learn something every time I come here.....it rocks! And, so does this post.
Thanks April, These last letters in the alphabet are the tricky ones!
It's always amazing to me that James Earl Jones went from Darth Vader to the Sandlot. Either he is that versatile of an actor or has an identity crisis. But like Morgan Freeman, I would love for him to read me stories at night. It's a shame he doesn't narrate more!

Nice writeup. The Empire Strikes Back came out in 1980.
Ooops! Fixed!
