Jeremy Bulloch, who played the role of Boba Fett in the original Star Wars trilogy, has died.

The 75-year-old actor's death has been confirmed by Lucasfilm, and was first reported on the actor's Facebook page and website: "Jeremy died peacefully on 17th December 2020 following health complications, including several years living with Parkinson’s disease. He spent his final weeks in the wonderful care of staff at St George’s Hospital in Tooting, close to the house where he and his wife Maureen had lived together for more than fifty years. Maureen and two of his sons, Jamie and Robbie, were with him during his final days."

The U.K. actor was under the armor during Boba Fett's live-action introduction in The Empire Strikes Back and continued the role in Return of the Jedi. He also made appearances without the helmet in different roles, playing Lieutenant Sheckil in Empire and Captain Jeremoch Colton in Revenge of the Sith.

:( RIP

Amazing how much of an icon he became in SW fandom with just a couple of lines in the movie.
