Darth Vader is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. The character is a primary antagonist in the original trilogy and a primary protagonist in the prequel trilogy.
Dave Prowse, the British weightlifter-turned-actor who played Darth Vader in the original “Star Wars” trilogy, has died. He was 85.
Prowse died on Saturday after a short illness, his agent Thomas Bowington said to the media on Sunday.
Prowse later told the BBC he chose Darth Vader because “you always remember the bad guys.”
