Star Wars actor who played Boba Fett dead at 75
Jeremy Bulloch, the English actor who first donned a helmet, cape and jetpack to play Boba Fett in the original
Star Wars trilogy, died Thursday.
Bulloch died at a London hospital from health complications after years of living with Parkinson's disease, his agents at Brown, Simcocks & Andrews said in a statement. He was 75.
As the Mandalorian bounty hunter Boba Fett, Bulloch made off with a frozen-in-carbonite Han Solo in 1980's
The Empire Strikes Back, then zoomed around the desert of Tatooine in a jet pack in 1983's
Return of the Jedi.
"Today we lost the best bounty hunter in the galaxy," Billy Dee Williams, whose Lando Calrissian appeared in key scenes with Bulloch in the films, said on Twitter.
