Any time you saw Darth Vader dueling in the OT, it was Bob Anderson, not David Prowse, in the black suit. He died yesterday at the ripe old age of 89.

I watched the last 20 minutes of TESB on Spike yesterday, and even after 30 years, I still marvel at the Vader/Luke duel. I've always loved the touch of having Vader fencing with Luke at the beginning because he assumes Luke is completely outmatched. It's pure poetry. :)
