RIP Kenny Baker

[JediJohnnie]

I'd be remiss in my duty as a Jedi not to mark the passing of Kenny Baker who played R2D2 in the Star Wars films. Sadly,he was the first of the core cast to leave us. (Well, Alec Guinness & Peter Cushing were first, but they were already senior citizens during the original films) The Force will be with you Kenny,Always.

It's going to be strange watching a new Star Wars movie without him. I know he was unable to play R2 in his later years but he was still credited as him which I always liked. I saw that his birthday was just a few days ago.
