The Star Wars has lost another legend (via SuperHeroHype). Just a few weeks after the passing of Dave Prowse, the original Darth Vader, word has emerged that Jeremy Bulloch has passed away as well. Bulloch portrayed the popular bounty hunter, Boba Fett, in both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He was 75 years old, and also had an acting career that spanned decades.

Bulloch’s successor as Boba Fett, Daniel Logan, shared the news on his Instagram account. Logan played young Boba Fett in Attack of the Clones, and grew close to Bulloch on the convention circuit.
