Jeremy Bulloch, the original Boba Fett in ‘Star Wars,’ dies at 75
Jeremy Bulloch, the actor who first embodied the masked villain Boba Fett in Star Wars, has died at the age of 75.
Bulloch donned Fett’s beat-up Mandalorian armour in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, bringing a cold gravitas to the faceless bounty hunter as he chased Han Solo (Harrison Ford) across the galaxy.
Bulloch played the character on screen while another actor provided the voice, much like Darth Vader actor David Prowse.
Bulloch died Thursday of health complications after a years-long battle with Parkinson’s disease, according to a statement on his official website.
We lost another Star of the Star Wars Franchise.
Farewell.
