Quote:Numerous sources have reported the death of Bob Anderson, the Olympic fencer who enjoyed a prolific career choreographing some of cinema’s most memorable sword-fights for stars ranging from Errol Flynn to Johnny Depp—and even participating in them himself, as when he donned the Darth Vader suit for the famed lighstaber duels of The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi. Anderson died of unspecified causes at the age of 89 on January 1st 2012.

In other words, Bob Anderson was an Olympic fencer, was the one in Darth Vader's suit during the lightsaber fights and choreographed many sword-fights for popular movies.

RIP Bob Anderson
