If they have Hayden Christensen in his casket so help me god!!
November 29th, 2020 at 6:42 AM ^
My first thought when reading this post subject was James Earl Jones...
November 29th, 2020 at 6:51 AM ^
Same here! That would have hurt...
November 29th, 2020 at 8:14 AM ^
Me too! I was struck, and down voted OP as a result for the misleading post title. Nobody knows the actor in the suit, they know the voice.
RIP to Christopher Prowse, though. Nobody wants to die, especially in this shitty year.
November 29th, 2020 at 9:15 AM ^
*David
November 29th, 2020 at 8:03 AM ^
I thought he died a few months ago
November 29th, 2020 at 11:24 AM ^
I think you are thinking of the OG Chewbacca...Peter Mayhew
November 29th, 2020 at 8:13 AM ^
Terrible title considering our connection to James Earl Jones.
November 29th, 2020 at 8:19 AM ^
Oh the actor, I thought it was the actual Darth Vader that died and I thought he was fictional.
November 29th, 2020 at 8:22 AM ^
The guy who walked around in the suit? Making me think James Earl Jones died. This fuckin' guy.
November 29th, 2020 at 8:23 AM ^
Thanks for the spoiler, a-hole! I just made it through The Empire Strikes Back.
November 29th, 2020 at 8:28 AM ^
OT - Darth Vader is Luke and Leia's father.
November 29th, 2020 at 8:44 AM ^
There was never a paternity test. Did you see the hunky body guards that followed Padme around?
November 29th, 2020 at 9:12 AM ^
Yes there was!! I distinctly remember the paternity test results live on the Maury Povich show a couple years ago. Darth Vader is the father.
November 29th, 2020 at 9:38 AM ^
No! That's impossible!
November 29th, 2020 at 10:35 AM ^
just to complete the thread
November 29th, 2020 at 8:49 AM ^
Thought you were referring to the man James Earl Jones himself. Not that this man’s death is any less tragic, but my first thought was why not? Why not make this year any less shitty than it’s already been?
November 29th, 2020 at 8:57 AM ^
Breaking news: 85 year old man didn't live forever
November 29th, 2020 at 3:09 PM ^
"Wahhh it's 2020 a guy past his normal life expectancy died. "
November 29th, 2020 at 9:31 AM ^
And now he is more powerful than ever!
November 29th, 2020 at 10:31 AM ^
David Prowse was also the author's bodyguard/assistant in the back half of A Clockwork Orange, if you want to see him in a different context.

+1 Informative
I have absolutely NO idea why someone downvoted that informative tidbit about one of the most bizarre movies I've ever seen.
My upvote, therefore, cancels their downvote.
November 29th, 2020 at 4:02 PM ^
Beat me to it, +1
oh and rob f, by any chance have you ever seen Eraserhead?
November 29th, 2020 at 11:00 AM ^
I too thought this was about James Earl Jones and my heart skipped a beat.
November 29th, 2020 at 11:30 AM ^
Like so many others have already expressed, I also immediately thought James Earl Jones because of the clear connection between Jones and the University of Michigan.
I'll edit the OP's title.
