Original Boba Fett Actor Jeremy Bulloch Dies At 75

Jeremy Bulloch has died at the age of 75. He died on Thursday from health complications after living with Parkinson’s disease for many years.

In an official statement to the BBC, the late actor’s agent said:

“He had a long and happy career spanning more than 45 years.

He was devoted to his wife, three sons, and 10 grandchildren and they will miss him terribly.”

Bulloch was best known for playing iconic Star Wars character and bounty hunter Boba Fett in Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI Return Of The Jedi.

Bulloch also appeared in James Bond film Octopussy in 1983, and the long-running sci-fi series Doctor Who in the 1970s.

The character has since returned alive and well in the second season of The Mandalorian. However, this time around Boba Fett is portrayed by Temuera Morrison, who played Jango Fett in Star Wars Episode II Attack Of The Clones.

We will always remember you, Mr. Bulloch. May the Force be with you, always.

Several Star Wars actors have also given their tribute to the late Bulloch:
