Too bad I can’t remember his memorable lines, because he gurgled them.

So it just took awhile before he succumbed to Darth Vader's choke hold, huh?

Didn’t the Vader actor die first, though?

Wow. Sorry to hear about someone dying so young. Godspeed, Mr. LeParmentier.
Dear FReepers,
Due to the economy, combined with posters who refuse to donate, the FReepathon Team is anticipating a long haul. We have started working on Memorial Day graphics. Got ideas? Send them along. We also are looking for ideas on Flag Day
Sincerely,
Your FReepathon Team

Wow, how sad for an actor that the only thing you’re remember for is being choked by Luke’s dad. He wasn’t even named in the headline.

Too bad I can’t remember his memorable lines, because he gurgled them. Admiral Motti: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient Jedi religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you enough clairvoyance to find the rebels' hidden fortress...
[Vader makes a pinching motion and Motti starts choking]
Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
