Always a pleasant bloke on the several occasions I got to meet him.

Done over by Lucas, who didn't tell him that James Earl Jones was going to be the voice of Vader.

RIP

I also met him once and spent a morning with him. He was philosophical about them using someone else's voice whilst he strutted around in the Vader costume as he had such a strong west country twang and even he said it would have sounded wrong! He also said that he was once invited to dine at the White House with other members of the cast and Ronald Reagan couldn't stop laughing at his real voice. He did point out that he couldn't be too grumpy about the whole voice thing either because it paid EXTREMELY well!! He was a really nice guy.

West Country Darth Vader would've been pretty special.

Spoke to him for a good 10mins and even asked about Burnley FC ,managed to snap a picture with my son as well
