Damn. David Prowse just what, a week ago? Now Boba Fett? Original trilogy cast seem to be passing more frequently.

nhtagmemberwe're all getting older, but they've always been older than us to begin with

Oat_Action_ManHis autograph is the only autograph I have ever collected. Got it on a Star Wars encyclopedia decades ago when Bullock visited a local mall as part of a promo tour when the re-release of the original trilogy happened.
At least he made it out of the Sarlacc before he passed.

This was my thought as well when I heard. Just turned 50 so not even close to old
but damn it goes by fast.

architectWhen I remember 2020, it will not be with a great deal of enjoyment, but at least I can be happy that I was never in a Star Wars movie!

wreckdiverR.I.P. Sir! 75 doesn't sound very far away to me, gets you thinkin' as the years pass--faster and faster!!

Yeah. I don’t have Disney Plus, so I haven’t seen any of The Mandalorian, but it’s the only Star Wars property doing well right now. The thought crossed my mind earlier that hopefully he at least got to see and enjoy that there was a popular TV show based off his character from forty years ago.

Season One and Two are up. Definitely worth $8.99 to binge watch them.
It's the best thing that's happened to Star Wars since 1981.
I was one of the kids that was mad that my send away Boba Fett didn't launch a missile. It clearly said it would on the advertisement!
It really sucks that we have lost another one. RIP Mr. Bullock.
