Sad news, Star Wars fans, ahead of Disney+The Mandalorian's Season 2 finale which would feature Temuera Morrison's take on Boba Fett, the original actor who first played the famed bounty hunter in two Star Wars films from the original trilogy — Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi has passed away at 75.
As of writing, Bulloch's true cause of death has yet to be disclosed. Daniel Logan, who played the young version of Fett in Attack of the Clones was among the first to announce the Star Wars vet's shocking passing on social media. Taking to his official Instagram page, Logan wrote: "IT BRINGS ME TO TEARS TO ANNOUNCE JEREMY BULLOCH HAS PAST AWAY.!! RIP LEGEND ILL NEVER FORGET ALL YOU'VE TAUGHT ME.!! I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER.!! CONVENTIONS WONT BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU ALWAYS."
Just last month, David Prowse, the original Darth Vader actor died due to COVID-19 complications, he was 85. Vader and Fett are known allies in Star Wars lore and now, Prowse and Bulloch are together in paradise once more.
Bulloch had a small role in 2005's Revenge of the Sith and since then, he's only appeared in Star Wars-related conventions but ultimately retired from making live appearances in 2018. Your contributions to the Star Wars Universe will forever be cherished. Rest in Peace, Jeremy Bulloch and May the Force be with you, always.
