Jeremy Bulloch, The Original Boba Fett, Has Passed Away

Rest in peace, Boba Fett

I am sad to report the passing of Jeremy Bulloch, who portrayed Boba Fett in the original Star Wars Trilogy. Here is an article that verifies the sad news. We lost David Prowse, the actor who portrayed Darth Vader in the original trilogy (voiced by James Earle Jones), last month.

I met Mr. Bulloch at Comicpalooza a few years ago in Houston, TX. Both he and his wife were extremely kind to me and all of the excited fans that were lined up to meet their favorite bounty hunter.

I’ll be watching The Empire Strikes Back this weekend. You should watch it as well. If you are a Doctor Who fan, look up the classic First Doctor story, The Space Museum, and the Third Doctor story, The Time Warrior. Bulloch appeared in both of those stories. He also appeared briefly in other roles in the Star Wars films, including one appearance in the prequels as Bail Organa’s pilot, Colton.

Bulloch was seventy-five years old. He will be sorely missed by the Star Wars fan community.

Thank you for reading this post. I will be posting my review of last week’s episode of The Mandalorian tomorrow morning.
