Recommended Posts

Just saw this on Hardocp.com which linked to The Guardian.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/aug/13/kenny-baker-r2-d2-dies-star-wars

"The British actor who played R2-D2 in the Star Wars films has died at the age of 83 after a long illness."

RIP Kenny Baker, you will be missed!

To quoth the Vader: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Rest in peace to the man behind the true BOSS of the Star Wars Saga (saves the Queen's ship, kills super battle droids twice his size gangsta style, lugs around Death Star schematics and completes his mission, doesn't take crap from Ewoks, hid Luke's lightsaber, saved Threepio's hide far too many times, and fought Yoda to a draw in Daigobah).
