The first true Star Trek convention was held in New York beginning on Friday,
January 21, 1972 and ran through the 23rd. It was started by a small group
that collected enough money, and rented a hotel room ballroom, attracting a
group of like-minded fans,

(Fox News) – The man who wore Darth Vader’s costume during the Dark Lord’s epic
light saber fights in two "Star Wars” movies has died at the age of 89.

Former British Olympic fencer Bob Anderson stepped in for Darth Vader actor Dave Prowse during fight scenes in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return Of The Jedi."

But the "Star Wars" movies were not his first experience with Hollywood. Not by a long shot.

Anderson first coached Hollywood legend Errol Flynn in fencing. He went on to teach scores of stars sword fighting, including Sean Connery and Johnny Depp.

Anderson also directed swordfights in movies including "The Mask of Zorro," "The Princess Bride," and "The Lord Of The Rings” trilogy.

Anderson, who died on Sunday, got involved with movie-making after competing in
the 1952 Olympics. He placed fifth for England in a team fencing competition.
