    RIP Lord Vader. Starred in 3 films and never got to say a word after bringing James Earl Jones in to do the voice over

    RIP David. Took me a while as a child to realise he was Green Cross Code man. Can't imagine Lord Vader with West Country accent though...

    Think I saw a clip of them filming where he did speak the words but it was obviously dubbed. Very strange

    Due to his thick Bristolian accent I believe. Same with my folks down in Poole.
    I once attended a birthday celebration down there around Christmas time.
    The journey down was truly horrendous with black ice on the major roads,
    it took us ages to get to get down there.

    At the party next day it was cold and over a pint my cousins husband who was
    broad Dorset said to me " I think it could rain snow"! I was confused until my
    cousin explained what he meant re- " I think it could rain do you know.?"
    Times many I struggled to know what they meant and they used to laugh at some
    of the things we said in ourbroad Yorkshire accents.

    Died of COVID, sounded like he’d long struggled with his breathing.

    sorry .... my black humour
