Original Boba Fett Actor Jeremy Bulloch Has Died

The 75-year-old played the bounty hunter in The Empire Strikes Back, as well as Lieutenant Sheckil, and reprised the former role in Return of the Jedi.

His tragic passing has been marked by Imperial Signings, a company that puts actors in a room together to sign autographs.

The owner of the Facebook page said: "It is with huge sadness I can report that we have lost Jeremy Bulloch. Jeremy was the 2nd guest I ever met and one I have met on dozens of occasions over the years. Jeremy was always quick to joke about me being welsh and I shall miss him dearly.

"Since his retirement from shows I have been lucky enough to do several signings at his home thanks to his amazing wife Maureen. 2020 has been an awful year and this for me is the worst news to end it. Jeremy you were a gentleman and I will miss you so much. My thoughts are with Maureen and her family at this sad times."
