The fencer who performed Darth Vader's lightsaber fight scenes in The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi has passed away.

I just happened to catch some of Empire and Jedi last night on Spike before I knew about his death. I've always felt the first confrontation between Luke and Vader is very nicely played out. I'd rather watch that lightsaber fight than pretty much anything in the new trilogy. His work in Jedi was nice, too. Forceful, elegant but not cartoonish.
Rest well, sir.
