Spencer Lee Wilding (born July 26, 1972) is a Welsh actor and stunt performer who physically portrays Darth Vader alongside Daniel Naprous in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Darth Vader is onscreen for two scenes in 2016's "Rogue One." First, he summons Imperial Officer Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) to his fortress on planet Mustafar and gives him a talking-to.
The first of two actors to star as Darth Vader in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story released in 2016, Spencer Wilding was able to have many of his scenes make the final cut of the film.
The man in the costume that actually played Darth Vader throughout three Star Wars films was David Prowse. Prowse, as a former bodybuilder, was cast because of his impressive body, making Darth Vader look threatening in the costume. For a long time, no one knew it was him playing the role.
Pro boxer Spencer Wilding embodied Vader during his early scenes in "Rogue One," while stuntman Daniel Naprous stepped in at the end for the sequence where Vader cuts... The post How Hayden Christensen Reacted to Being Replaced as Darth Vader in Rogue One appeared first on /Film.

Who killed Darth Vader?
During the battle, Anakin, who had been known as the Sith Lord Darth Vader, was redeemed by Luke and brought balance to the Force. However, the redemption cost Anakin his life, having been mortally wounded by the Emperor, Darth Sidious, while killing his former Master.
by Palpatine to be stiff, uncomfortable, and downright as painful as possible for Vader. This served to do 2 things. One, it kept Vader in a constant state of pain, which fueled his anger and made him stronger, and 2 it served as a persistent reminder of his failure.
Even his lightsaber combat is changed: rather than the devastating attacks that rain down upon the Rebels, the fight with Obi-Wan Kenobi is slow and methodical. This gives the impression that Vader was more powerful in Rogue One than he is in A New Hope, which isn't exactly the case.
Sending Vader's assistant Vaneé to retrieve him, Krennic and Vader discussed the Death Star. Krennic wanted more credit for the project but Vader refused to help him. When he asked if he still had command, Krennic was Force choked by the Sith Lord as a warning.
He would have been in his 30s for most of Rebels. He was in his 40s during the original trilogy, 41 standard in 3277 (Rogue One, ANH), and 45 when he died in 3281. How did Thrawn know Anakin was Vader?
Technology may not have been able to properly hide the true eyes of Vader at the time the original films were made, and the story called for that veil of secrecy the red lenses couldn't provide. But in Rebels and Rogue One, it works.
Could be any number of reasons ranging from faulty surge protection anodes, to Starkiller and Palpatine having vastly different current frequencies and voltages in their force lightening.
Once the heroic Jedi Knight named Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force. Forever scarred by his defeat on Mustafar, Vader was transformed into a cybernetically-enhanced Sith Lord.
Well remember that Vader was the father of both Luke and Leia. Leia conceived a child with Han Solo, named Ben Solo, or later Kylo Ren. So Vader is technically Ren's grandfather from his mother's side, and Luke is his uncle.
Darth Vader and Kylo Ren, grandfather and grandson, share a great deal of similarities, despite their individuality. Like Anakin feeling as though the Jedi were keeping secrets about the Force from him, young Ben Solo felt that he was being held back in his training.
A year later, in 4 ABY, with his health rapidly declining, Yoda died of old age when Skywalker returned to see him. He became one with the Force, shortly before Luke redeemed his father Anakin, who fulfilled his destiny as the Chosen One by killing Sidious.
Kylo Ren dies on Kef Bir (the ocean moon of Endor) shortly after Rey deals a mortal wound during a lightsaber duel on the wreckage of the second Death Star. Though Rey Force-heals him, saving his life physically, this blow, coupled with the memory of his mother and father, destroys the man known as “Kylo Ren” forever.
Kylo Ren was always obsessed with his grandfather. He didn't learn he was the grandson of Darth Vader until he was a teenager, when a recording from Bail Organa - intended to be a private message for Leia - was shared with the entire galaxy.
Despite seeing Vader as an idol, Kylo conveniently ignored his grandfather's redemption. He was well aware of what happened, and it's likely Luke himself who told Ben about the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
Attributing the duo's presence to a "Life Day miracle", Ren eagerly introduces himself to Vader as his grandson, before informing Palpatine of his apparent death at Vader's hand and his own rise as Supreme Leader of the First Order.
