“I lost about 20 pounds in the two weeks we filmed the final scene of the fight between Vader and Obi-Wan. And I loved every second of it! Anyone who has ever worked with these suits has my deep respect.

“Before we get to part 6, let me brag about the patience of @cinathewarriorprincess. Wearing Vader’s costume is quite a task and you can’t see well. I’m sure I’ve ruined all his lives during this rehearsal. All the while she threw her saber in my hand. Cheers to a great fight!
