Hey there, time traveller!

Jeremy Bulloch, the English film star who suited up as the fan-favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett in the original Star Wars trilogy, has died. He was 75.
Bulloch’s death was announced on Instagram Thursday by Daniel Logan, who portrayed a young version of Boba in the 2002 Star Wars prequel Attack of the Clones.
Bulloch first wore Boba’s weathered green-and-white helmet and armour in 1980’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and returned as the character for 1983’s Return of the Jedi.
Boba was originally voiced in The Empire Strikes Back by Jason Wingreen, but a 2004 re-release of the film had Temuera Morrison provide the vocals instead.
Despite the character’s lack of screen time in those 1980s movies, Boba became wildly popular among Star Wars fans due to his cool looks and reputation as a fierce bounty hunter.
Morrison now plays the character on the live-action series The Mandalorian. — New York Daily News
