Rest in peace, Jeremy. He will always be THE Boba Fett.
are you sure? Jason Wingreen, the actor who provided the voice for villainous Star Wars bounty hunter Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back has died at the age of 95, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Oh no...
First of all, he was the one TRUE Boba Fett. Second, he was likely the nicest man I've ever met. We talked about our families, he asked about my kids... Just so incredibly genuine.
Rest in peace Mr. Bulloch, you will be missed.

Jason Wingreen had died in 2015, at the age of 95. Also December though, but another day.

RIP to the OG Boba Fett. His body language and mannerisms portraying Boba in that battle scarred armor as a silent but deadly bounty hunter, a man with no face, the western Clint Eastwood vibes I just loved as kid, he was so mysterious, even his head nods I just tried to soak in every moment he appeared. I sadly never had the opportunity to meet him, but thank you for all the wonderful memories Mr. Bulloch. RIP
This year can't end soon enough. R.I.P. Mr Bullock. You will be greatly missed.

Rip, Mr Bulloch,
No!
Such a nice guy. I met him several times. He was so welcoming.
RIP Mr. Bulloch.
The best bounty hunter in the galaxy.

Hoping for some kind of acknowledgment before or after The Mandalorian tomorrow. Also hoping there isn't an ironic story development as well.
RIP Mr Bulloch. Thanks for everything you gave.

So sad to hear,....met him at a thing in Belfast (before Comic Con made its way here),..I don't really like to bother the stars,....I hang back. Mr Bulloch & Richard LeParmentier (General Motti) were dong a talk in the lecture theatre, & we were all making our way there & we ended up going through a doorway together & he started making small talk with my son, who was wearing a Liverpool top,..."You were lucky last weekend" etc, told us his team and walked with us, I found that to be really unusual & pleasant, he had a lasting impression on my son, who clearly remembers that day, what a great guy

that sucks.
I met him at one of the first 'Men Behind the Masks' tour in the 90's. That was the only reason i went to the show (it was a trek convention mainly). There weren't many there to see those guys so i got talk a bit to him, David Prowse, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker. All were great. Jeremy told me I could meet them at the bar later that night for drinks. Said they always went down at that time. I still hate the fact i couldn't go. (Car died that morning, was on a rental that had to be back well before then, and had to be somewhere else I couldn't even get to without the car).
Still a great memory with those guys.

Many men have worn the costume, but there has only ever been one man who was Boba Fett. One of the greatest honors I have had was shooting Jeremy in the costume members of The Dented Helmet made for him. We all have tried to emulate him, but the minute he was in costume, Boba Fett was in the room. It was a surreal and awesome moment.
