The American Film Institute listed Darth Vader as the third greatest movie villain in cinema history
Prowse played Vader in Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, but didn’t actually know he was Luke Skywalker’s father until he watched Empire Strikes Back at the cinema. Why? Because they used a different actor to play the character’s voice!
