He was regarded as the premier master of Hollywood sword-fighting[1], and during his career he coached many actors in swordsmanship, including Errol Flynn, Sean Connery, Antonio Banderas and Johnny Depp. He also appeared a stunt double for Darth Vader's light-saber battles in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Backand Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi."

"Darth Vader (born Anakin Skywalker) is the central character in the Star Wars saga,[1][2][3]appearing as one of the main antagonists in the original trilogy and as the main protagonist in the prequel trilogy.
The character was created by George Lucas and numerous actors have portrayed him. His appearances span all six Star Wars films, and he is an important character in the expanded universe of television series, video games, novels, literature and comic books. The films establish that there was originally a Jedi Knight named Anakin who fell to the dark side of theForce;[4] he is also revealed to be the father of both Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa, the two main protagonists of the original trilogy. Vader is ultimately redeemed in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, when he sacrifices himself to save his son, Luke.
He is one of only four characters to appear in all six Star Wars films, along with Obi-Wan Kenobi, R2-D2 and C-3PO.
Vader's name has become used as a synonym for a powerful form of evil, in both televisual pop culture and political discourse."
