Jeremy Bulloch has passed away at the age of 75.
The beloved British actor is perhaps best known for his portrayal of bounty hunter Boba Fett in the original Star Wars trilogy.
Per TMZ, Bulloch's family say he died following health complications which included Parkinson's.
The Sun also reports that the news was first broken to fans convention organizer Jason Griffiths, and later confirmed by actor Daniel Logan, who played a young Boba Fett in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.
The character of Boba Fett was first introduced to movie audiences in the second Star Wars film, Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980). In the movie, Fett successfully tracked the Millennium Falcon to Bespin for Darth Vader, after which he transported a frozen Han Solo to Jabba The Hutt.
In the 1983 movie Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, Fett fell victim to a malfunctioning jetpack on Tatooine, causing him to fall into the man-eating Sarlacc pit (but as we should all by now, the character survived).
Bulloch will also be remembered for his work in the popular British shows Doctor Who, Robin of Sherwood, Agony, and Starhyke.
The character of Bobo Fett has recently returned to the Star Wars universe in the second season of the Disney+ show The Mandalorian, in which he is portrayed by Jango Fett actor Temuera Morrison.
Morrison originally played Boba Fett's father, Jango, in the 2002 movie, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. As Boba is Jango's clone, the New Zealand actor took over from Bullock in the popular spin-off series.
Our thoughts are with Bulloch's family, friends, and fans at this time...
