he came out of lightspeed to close to the system....

 

Oh **** OFF! Try posting something different to every other stupid nerd trying to sound cool will you?
The joke was old before it was even relevant, and the word you're looking for is "too" not "to".

All respects to the man, never saw much of him on screen besides Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but he seems to have been very well respected in what he did.

 

I grew up watching a kids tv drama about a high school called Grange Hill, and he was one of the teachers in it.
It was really funny when you watched TESB for the first time and saw this character on a star destroyer.
Its kind of like seeing Alf of Home and Away on a star destroyer.

And he had arguabaly (sp) the best death by Vader in the saga.

 

I vaguely remember Grange Hill, but wouldn't recognise anyone on it ...

Same for half the cast of the PT, really ...

 

Yeah.

The only time I had ever seen Sio Bibble, Boss Nass and Captain Panaka together in one program before, it was a MacGyver telemovie..

I guess you had to know about Aussie soap stars in the first place, but I do remember girls in the cinema squealing with delight when they recognised some b-grade meat puppet.

Thanks DP, Now I have images of Hitler saying "Stone the crows!" when Indy hands him his father's diary

Caz, wasn't Sio Bibble and Boss Nass the same actor?

 

Nope.

Boss Nass = Brian Blessed

Sio Bibble = Oliver Ford Davies

 

Ok, So I got my Blackadder confused with my HitchHiker's Guide...

 

Whoops.

 

Yeah, so now I have a cunning towel...

 

thanks for the Grammar lesson S_M.

what WAS I thinking. I don't think I was thinking. Man you can be Anal sometimes.

 

Whatever, show respect, must we sit through tons of fanboys posting stupid one liners everytime a respected actor who once did a sci-fi role passes away?

 

I meant it to be solemn.

I don't think theres a solemn smiley.
(Plus he was a gasser in Coronation St- he'd be the first to rip off a line!)

have you read his book about Sci- Fi Conventions?

Highly recommended! laughed my ass off

 

Chill fanboys, let's just use this thread to pay our respects from here on, yeah?

Like most others, I only know him for his appearances in ESB and Indiana Jones, but of those two I loved his moments as Hitler. Classic stuff.

 

indeedy- has anyone read his books?
