I love Christopher Lee. Rest in peace.

Not only a badass character in the setting, but also a real life sword dualist. No doubt that Christopher Lee lived a full life and a legend.

[iamgoat]

No wonder he had that signature look of superiority

[EllieMiller]

Wait how did I go 15 years not knowing he was a direct descendant of royalty

[bluewolf]

Christopher Lee is as far as I know the only cast member in Lord of the ring to meet Tolkien.

Christopher Lee:
-served for Special Forces in WWII
-did his own fencing scenes
-almost married into Swedish royalty with permission from the King himself
-is a descendant of King Charlemagne
-witnessed the last public execution via guillotine in France
-sang for a metal band

May he fucking rest in peace because HOLY FUCK that guy was a god damn badass.

Christopher Lee was the most interesting actor to ever appear in a Star Wars movie. Harrison Ford, and to a lesser extent Mark Hamill, are the only ones who come close.

"You see that Sith Lord from the Separatists? He's got a curved lightsaber hilt. Curved. Lightsaber. Hilt." - Coruscant Guard, probably.

Edit: Fun fact - Sir Christopher Lee made a few Metal albums with songs about Charlemagne.

Christopher Lee was the real life most interesting man in the world

[Ccucryid]

Fun fact: Christopher Lee did all of his own stunts and sword fighting. Even into his 90s

[TheFirstDoofus]

Huh. Guess that's why he killed every role in movies he was in. He had charisma. He fought the nazis, he played Dracula, sauron and dooku, and he loved metal music. Rest in peace you absolute Chad of a man.

[Alistair_Frisbee]

Cool fact may Christopher Lee Rest In Peace

[masteryoghurt]

My dream lighsaber is curved hilt and orange blade or two lighsaber tonfas with orange blade

[havoc]

He was honestly my favorite actor he may have played the villain in most movies but he did it well and has a amazing history before acting

[fadedsasquatch]

Count Dooku died a padawan of a Sith Emperor.
Chris Lee died a descendent of a Royal King.

[lonewolf]

He just got that king voice, an evil Kong voice, god he was great

[cyberwar]

R.I.P Christopher Lee a true Legend and one of my favorite actors

[divinevictim]

Christopher Lee even had a metal band about Charlemagne!💪

[emperortrevornorton]

Christopher Lee history buff, former English spy, and one of the few reasons I watch one of the star wars movies that are critically hated

[Xtraordinaire]

Aren’t almost all western europeans directly related to Charlemagne?
