Jeremy Bulloch ...
Dec. 18th, 2020 05:25 amThis has been an amazing month for Boba Fett and Boba Fett fans. But now, in the middle of all the awesomeness, there is the sadness that Jeremy Bulloch has died.
Both he and Jason Wingreen brought the character to life in the original trilogy, with Jason as the voice while Jeremy physically played him. I think we lost Jason some years ago, and now Jeremy too. Some moving tributes to him have been coming out from Star Wars actors such as Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams.
I read some articles about Jeremy recently. He sounded like a very lovely person and I totally loved his stories about playing Boba Fett, from the more well-known like using Clint Eastwood as inspiration to lesser-known crack like tripping on Darth Vader's cape while filming and they both went down. ROTFLOL. A friend of mine got to meet him a while back and got an autographed picture of him as Boba Fett. She gifted it to me earlier this year and I was over the moon. I wasn't feeling well when it came and that cheered me right up.
Thank you, Jeremy, for helping bring to life a character who has meant so much to me for 29 years. He enchanted me at age five and that has never gone away.
