They’ve been putting the films into cinemas near me recently, saw Episode IV for the first time on the big screen and man it was such a cool experience.
His voice as Vader is such an iconic role and part of this franchise and he will be dearly missed. Rest in peace
Episode IV was the only film I did not see first run in the theater (I was a month old when it was released), but I saw it a dozen times when it was rereleased in the late 90s. Got a bunch of friends together so we could recite it in unison during one of the playings.

Pssshhhh! That’s no excuse! Should have started crying until mommy brought you to see Star Wars!
Episode IV is the one where Chewbacca makes out with Darth Vader, right? And then they find out they’re brother and sister, but it’s too late. They’re already in love.
May the Force be with him.
Always.
Do not want this. ;(
He had a good run. Most don’t see past 80. Rest that bombastic, silky-smooth, mahogany voice, you icon of cinema and black history
That’s such a bummer. I was just talking to my son about him the other week, joking “wasn’t it weird that they got Darth Vader to voice Mufasa in Lion King?” Dude had an amazing voice.
