That BBC tribute linked by OP has a clip of the Bristolian Darth Vader- hilarious!
Loved him as Vader and the Greencross code dude... RIP Dave.

Sounds like he'd been in poor health for quite some time. RIP.
(Well, there’s even a UFO on the back of the album..)
It was a huge commercial hit, and the timing is good, coming as it did in 1972, which would fit with the gestation of the first Star Wars (released 1977)

He was a nice guy.
Sad news.
I seem to remember Lucas saying his original concept of Vader was as a "seven-foot stormtrooper".
Reading up on Prowse it seems that despite his importance to the films he was a little badly treated by Lucas - he was apparently promised he would be revealed as Vader at the end of ROTJ, but was replaced by Sebastian Shaw. Ironically, Prowse looked more like an older Hayden Christensen than Shaw did. The rest of the crew also referred to him as 'Darth Farmer' behind his back because of his West Country accent.
He was also later barred from attending fan conventions by Lucas.

But if I find that photo of Darth with a Flying V, you’ll be hearing from me .
