[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Darth Vader sword master dies @ age 89 Sword master Bob Anderson has died at the age of 89. The fighting trainer was best known for his work on Star Wars and Lord of the Rings - the latter of which involved the crafting of various fighting styles for the different races. Anderson played Darth Vader during the lightsaber duels in the original Star Wars trilogy. The former British competitive fencer passed away peacefully in hospital at 4am on January 1, reports The British Academy of Fencing. Mark Hamill highlighted Anderson's contribution to Star Wars for the first time in a 1983 interview. "Bob Anderson was the man who actually did Vader's fighting," he said. "It was always supposed to be a secret, but I finally told [George Lucas] I didn't think it was fair anymore. "Bob worked so bloody hard that he deserves some recognition. It's ridiculous to preserve the myth that it's all done by one man." Anderson also worked on The Princess Bride, First Knight, Highlander, Zorro, the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie and several James Bond films. http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/news/a357944/star-wars-sword-master-bob-anderson-dies-aged-89.html -----signature----- ( - Y - ) These ones are not real, just FYI.
