RIP Jeremy Bulloch actor who played Boba Fett in the OG Trilogy

*Autbot_Benz* · 12-17-2020, 02:57 PM

Actor Jeremy Bulloch, known for playing Boba Fett in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, has died. He was 75.
Born in Leicestershire, England in 1945, Bulloch was a mainstay on British television, with dozens of credits on shows like Doctor Who and Robin of Sherwood. He also appeared in several James Bond movies like The Spy Who Loved Me and Octopussy.

In 1980 Bulloch donned the armor for Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back, as well as Lieutenant Sheckil in the same film. Bulloch reprised his role in the armor for Return of the Jedi.

Bulloch would go on to have a small cameo in Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith as Captain Jeremoch Colton, and he was a mainstay on the convention circuit, giving talks and appearances until he retired in 2018.

Man they're dropping like flies now. First the actor in the Darth Vader suit and now Boba Fett.

Goddammit 2020, what are you doing?

The original trilogy was made ages ago, I remember as a kid thinking those movies were made at the same time as dinosaurs, they looked so old even when they released the special editions which I saw. I'm guessing all those actors are going to be gone in the next few years, sad but it's been like half a century since the movies were made.

Q's lab guy Smithers, another member of the James Bond family as well as the Star Wars family, at least they're mostly going old and naturally.

Man it's times like this you remember James Earl Jones is 89. He can drop dead any moment.

He's in Coming to America 2 which comes out early next year.

That's just ... devastating.

I hope he will be able to rest peacefully.
