Fans across the globe are joining Hollywood A-listers in mourning the loss of Jeremy Bulloch, the English actor known for portraying Boba Fett in the original Star Wars film.

Bulloch's role as Boba Fett, a clever bounty hunter, may have seemed relatively small at first glance. But the character quickly became one of the Star Wars universe's most iconic characters.

Bulloch, known for bringing the character to life, passed away Thursday in a London hospital.

He's featured in 1980's "The Empire Strikes Back" as the bounty hunter who takes off with a helplessly frozen Han Solo and three years later, Bulloch can be seen again in "Return of the Jedi's" unforgettable 'The Battle of the Great Pit of Carkoon' scene, which unfolds in the desert of Tatooine. 

“Today we lost the best bounty hunter in the galaxy,” Billy Dee Williams, whose Lando Calrissian appeared in key scenes with Bulloch in the films, said on Twitter.
