Re: Bob Anderson has died
Wow, 7 of my favorite movies were fight staged by this man: The LOTR trilogy, Star Wars trilogy, and The Princess Bride. He surely will be missed.

Re: Bob Anderson has died
My old coach fenced against him. Supposedly, he was as classy as he was talented.

Not to mention Olympic athlete and two-time sabre world champion.

Yep - we considered it a point of honor if we managed to avoid getting beaten 5-nil against Coach Yves, and he recounted how far and above HIS level Anderson was.Captain Seafort wrote:Not to mention Olympic athlete and two-time sabre world champion.

Re: Bob Anderson has died
Yeah, Lucas was pretty good for denying credit to people. Or lines, a la Ray Park.

Re: Bob Anderson has died
A la Vader for that matter. I think Prowse is still in something of a huff over that. As well as not being let in on the secret while shooting ESB.Mikey wrote:Yeah, Lucas was pretty good for denying credit to people. Or lines, a la Ray Park.

Re: Bob Anderson has died
I had thought Prowse was always aware that he wouldn't be speaking Vader's part. The bit about ESB, certainly, and being cut out of the SW community as well.

Re: Bob Anderson has died
Apparently not, although whether Lucas always intended to dub over his lines (his version) or whether he decided while filming that a thick west country accent didn't quite befit the role (everybody else's version) is disputed.Mikey wrote:I had thought Prowse was always aware that he wouldn't be speaking Vader's part.

Re: Bob Anderson has died
In recent years, though, David Prowse has claimed that he always endorsed Jones' speaking part. That, of course, might be a bit of spin and revision on his part.

Re: Bob Anderson has died
What was "always the case" with regards to Star Wars has a history of being somewhat fluid. Lucas' various stories of how many films he was/is/will be planning to make being the most notorious example.
