Jeremy Bulloch, the original Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi, has passed away at the age of 75. He passed away in hospital Thursday night due to complications with Parkinsons, according to BBC News.

I was lucky enough to meet him and his wife at a collecting show back in the early 2000s and I have a signed copy (number 97 of 2000) of his book Flying Solo, R. I. P. Jeremy.. .

 

Seems we're seeing more and more of these sorts of threads lately.

 

Yeah, unfortunately. At least he didn't die from Covid. He'd left the convention circuit some time ago due to health issues.

 

I'm old enough that Jeremy Bulloch was my Boba Fett.

 

Same here. And Jason Wingreen was the voice.

 

Me too. Boba Fett as a kid character never did it for me. But to each their own. RIP good sir and thank you.

 

RIP - met him a few times at various cons/events, he was always a true gent.
