RIP Darth Vader.

 

[Scania]

What a voice, and indeed actor!

I think my favourite of his roles was "King Jaffe Joffer" in Coming to America, that said, he was epic in many other film roles.

His voice will live on.

R.I.P.

ugh what a legend

RIP

Obviously Vader is the most iconic villain (and voice) ever, but my favourite role he played was Vice Admiral James Greer - CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence, especially in Clear and Present Danger

 

[Hades]

Oh no. Seriously no. I've searched my feelings and I know it to be true

RIP


Edit: From the BBC:

Mark Hamill, who played Vader's son Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, posted "RIP Dad" with a broken heart emoji as he shared a news report of the death.

A small role but the way he says "still negative function" with that voice just resonates so much in the scene. Shame the clip ends before that bomb drop though. RIP

Read it at the same time that I saw that Harvey Weinstein has been rushed from prison to hospital for heart surgery. I assume they've found one to give him?
