It’s almost unbelievable to think that five years ago today, Jeremy Bulloch passed away. One of the first major stars to hit the convention circuit and tour the world, Jeremy met countless fans in every corner of the globe, giving them a precious and unforgettable moment of his time. Jeremy first joined the saga in 1979 when filmed his scenes as bounty hunter Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back, and through later appearances in Return of the Jedi and as Captain Jeremoch Colton in Revenge of the Sith he cemented his legacy, endearing himself to a grateful fandom. As much today as then, we say ‘thank you Jeremy’.

Members of the team at Fantha Tracks have numerous stories and memories of Jeremy, from our six-day trip across northern Europe travelling to Celebration Europe 2 in 2013 to conventions and fan meets in the UK and abroad, always with a smile and a story. Here are just a few images from those very good times.
