News came over the weekend that one of the forces strongest wielders has sadly passed away.

British Actor David Prowse, known mainly for his stunning performance as Darth Vader in the Star Wars movies has died age 85 over the weekend. Although  James Earl Jones voiced the iconic villain, Prowse was the Man behind the mask.

We had the great pleasure of Prowse attending a WOScon event we held in Sheffield back in 2015 where he met and signed for fans. He was a great character and will be forever remembered as bringing the most famous to life on screen.
