An Imperial Officer

Quote of today
"Skywalker has just landed, my Lord.”

An Imperial Officer reports to Darth Vader in the Carbon Freezing Chamber.

Milton Johns at his 72nd birthday (born 1938)

Milton Johns was born in Bristol, UK and played an Imperial Officer, later named Bewil, in The Empire Strikes Back.

Imperial Officer Bewil is the tactical, strong officer that informed Darth Vader that Luke Skywalker had arrived at Cloud City.

There is an English accented officer saying "Lord Vader, ship approaching. X-wing class" and it seems like it is officer Bewil, but he has an American accent when he utter ”Skywalker has just landed, my Lord.”. It could be a voice-over misses though all the Americans in the film play the good guys, and all the characters who speak with a British accent are the bad guys.

Quote of today

Today we celebrate...
Bob Anderson at his 87th birthday (born 1922)


Bob Anderson was born in England, United Kingdom and was the stunt-double for David Prowse / Darth Vader in A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He also played an Imperial Officer in The Empire Strikes Back.

Bob Anderson has been a competitive fencer and represented Great Britain at the Olympic Games 1948 and 1952. He started his career in movie stunts 1953 and still 2003 was he involved in Pirates of the Caribbean as sword trainer and in The Lord of the Rings as sword master.

Bob Anderson is 1.85 m (6' 1'') and shorter than the 1.96 m (6' 5'') Darth Vader / David Prowse. If you look through the scenes with Darth Vader fighting you never see his feet. That's because Bob Anderson was wearing lifts or was filmed from a lower point to look taller.

Darth Vader is the two meter high Dark Lord of the Sith that is all dressed in a black armor.

Imperial Officer is the high class soldier in the Empire

Does anyone know in what scene Bob Anderson play an Imperial Officer?
