The original Darth Vader died before Cheney

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-55117704

Dave Prowse, the Bristolian former bodybuilder best known for playing Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy, has died aged 85.

Prowse was cast as Vader for his imposing physique, even though the role was voiced by James Earl Jones.

But the weightlifter-turned-actor was most proud of playing the Green Cross Code Man. The role, promoting road safety in the UK, earned him an MBE.

"May the force be with him, always!" said his agent Thomas Bowington.

"Though famous for playing many monsters - for myself, and all who knew Dave and worked with him, he was a hero in our lives."

8. The Joke used to be that Cheney's body rejected human tissue

So they were forced to give him a baboon heart.

Rest in peace David. Your Vader scared to crap out of me as a child.
