You may not know his name but chances are if you enjoyed a movie with sword fighting in it in the past 50 years he worked on it.  Rest in Piece

D'Oh!

I can't believe some of the hate for this guy in the comment section of the news page.  He did Star Wars,James Bond,and Lord of the Rings,that is some great work right there.  I remember reading somewhere that he was the one who came up with the idea that Light sabers  would be so powerful it would take two hands to hold them.  If you have seen the behind the scenes footage for Lord of the Rings you can really see him putting the actors through their paces,he seemed very active for someone in his late 70s.

Rest in peace, man.

With every passing year I look more and more like Comic book guy.
