Legendary actor James Earl Jones has died at the age of 93.

Jones, who won several awards for his acting during his iconic professional career, portrayed Darth Vader in the original Star Wars series. He performed alongside Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker.

As a tribute to Jones for their time on film together, Hamill referenced one of the most memorable moments in film history when (spoiler alert decades late here) Dath Vader revealed he was actually Skywalker's father.

He tweeted "#RIP Dad" with a broken heart emoji. This shows the kind of impact Jones had on not only his fans but his film colleagues as well.
