    SW people dying in such a short timespan. Damn

    84 is good though. Glad he could introduce the world to Fett even in a questionable product like the special. RIP

    Oh man, a fantastic voice actor!

    He also played Boba Fett again, as well as Jann Tosh in Droids, and the Dulok shaman in Ewoks.
    Rest in peace, mr. Francks!
