The cast of the original Star Wars trilogy has suffered another loss, with word that Jeremy "Boba Fett" Bulloch has died at ae 75. Bulloch, who also played an Imperial officer escorting Princess Leia through Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back, and Captain Colton in Revenge Of The Sith, was also part of the "Men Behind The Masks" convention tour in the 1990's.

Sad to see him and Prowse go almost in the same time and even sadder to realize they were partially removed from movies, in Bulloch case it was voice and Prowes case his spirit removal in the ending of ROtJ.

Neither actor was "removed" from the films. Jason Wingreen originally voiced Fett & Sebastian Shaw was the "face" of Vader both in the helmet removal and original ghost form.

I was sad to see this news earlier in the day.  Jeremy had been suffering from Parkinson's disease for quite a while, which turns out to be the reason he retired from conventions as well as private signing a couple years ago. The disease is apparently what led to his death.

Very sad news, I had the pleasure of meeting him in a convention once. He was one of the nicest, most humble human beings I have ever encountered, a total class act. May God rest his soul and my sincere condolences to his family.

I never had the pleasure.  I missed him at San Diego Comic Con some years ago, IIRC, because I had strep throat and had to spend a day in bed.
