story

A very small (and still 'big') role in Star Wars, but very famous.

Farewell, Porkins

Porkins may not be considered a big role, but everybody remembers him.

Poor Porkins. A great many users on the JC who consider their icon to be humorous will be sad at this news . . .

Its extremely sad. Luckily he left us with a humorous memory. It may be wrong but I will still enjoy laughing at Porkins everytime I watch ANH. RIP

Rest In Peace. For someone who had such a small role, he made such a huge impact on everyone...

May you find peace, William.

I like the accuracy of the article:

"His first film role was in 1977, playing Jedi fighter Jek Porkins in George Lucas' Star Wars."

I guess his Jedi arogance got the better of him when he didn't want to pull up.

May he RIP.
