[net.movies.sw] Darth played by...

spaf@gatech.UUCP (06/09/83)

Based on careful observation and an interview on NPR, we believe
that the person in the Darth costume (when Luke removes his
helmet just before he dies) is James Earl Jones.  Note the
voice and check out the eyes.

Actually, the person inside Darth Vader's costume is David Prowse.
James Earl Jones does the voice for Darth Vader. Sebastian Shaw was
the person inside the costume when Darth's mask was taken off.

Anakin Skywalker's eyes do not long anything like Thulsa Doom's.  Besides,
in the official program WHICH WAS POSTED TO THE NET, also verified by my
own eyes, the actors name is Sebastian Shaw.   Sheesh!
