‘Boba Fett’ Actor Jeremy Bulloch Dies At Age 75

Actor Jeremy Bulloch who once played the character ‘Boba Fett’ in the early Star Wars trilogy movie has reportedly died at the age of 75.

He died at the hospital on Thursday as a result of health complications after living with Parkinson’s disease for years, his agent said.

“He had a long and happy career spanning more than 45 years,” a statement said.

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

Bulloch is best known for playing the role of a mercenary called Boba Fett in Star Wars movies such as The Empires Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

The popular character also appeared in the recent Star Wars spin-off series The Mandalorian.

Bulloch also appeared in the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy.

Star Wars creator George Lucas said Bulloch “brought the perfect combination of mystery and menace to his performance of Boba Fett”.

“Jeremy was a true gentleman who was very supportive of Star Wars and its fans, and I’m very grateful for his contributions to the saga and its legacy,” he added.

Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy, also mourned the news and considered Bulloch a “quintessential English gentleman”.

“A fine actor, delightful company and so kind to everyone lucky enough to meet or work with him,” he wrote on Twitter.

“I will deeply miss him and am so grateful to have known him,” added Hamill.
