After hearing the news that Carrie Fisher passed away, the original Boba Fett, Jeremy Bulloch<\/a>, who worked with her on “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi,” had some fond memories to share. In addition to a post on Facebook<\/a>, here’s what he told us:<\/p>\n

What tragedy for someone so young. We last saw her and Gary here in London at Celebration this summer and she was her usual bubbly, funny self.<\/p>\n

I first met Carrie on the film set of The Empire Strikes Back. I had one iconic scene with her where I was asked to play an Imperial Officer and use her as a human shield — something she never let me forget whenever we met. :-)<\/p>\n

I always loved meeting her — she could be outrageous at times and extremely funny. She will sorely missed — she was a Superstar as well as a princess.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In an interview with KTIC Radio \/ ABC Radio (Nebraska)<\/a>, Jeremy had more to say:<\/p>\n

He fondly recalled with a laugh, \u201cIn a conversation, you suffered badly there, because she could turn you around and make funny remarks and things. Brilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor played Lieutenant Sheckil in The Empire Strikes Back \u2014 opposite himself as Fett, thanks to a little editing magic. As Sheckil, Bulloch roughed up a captured Princess Leia as she tried to warn Luke that the Empire had laid a trap for him. However, Bulloch tells ABC he got to know Fisher better while promoting the movies.<\/p>\n

\u201cFunnily enough, I saw more of Carrie when we were at Disneyland\u2026while they were having a Disney Weekend with Star Wars. With her there, it was terribly difficult, because she was cracking jokes\u2026you have Carrie just shrieking with laughter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, you can\u2019t say any more,\u201d he added. \u201cShe was just brilliant.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
