It has not been an easy decision to make. In 1979 I was called onto the set of Empire Strikes Back to play Boba Fett, and since that day it has changed the entire direction of my life in such a wonderful way. It has been a privilege to have had the opportunity to inspire so many generations of Star Wars fans.  I have had over 20 years of travelling with my wife Maureen to some amazing countries and have met so many wonderful fans.  Thank you all so much and we will miss you all.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018May the Force be with you always\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy<\/p>\n<h3>Autographs<\/h3>\n<p>Jeremy will still be taking part in send-in signing if fans still need items signed for their collections. <strike>Please send any requests to <a href=\"mailto:imperialsignings@hotmail.co.uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">imperialsignings@hotmail.co.uk<\/a>.<\/strike> [UPDATE: No longer signing as of April 2020.]<\/p>\n<h3>Fan Reactions<\/h3>\n<p>See the comments thread on our <a href=\"https:\/\/business.facebook.com\/bobafettfanclub\/photos\/a.10151890535657244.1073741825.23276402243\/10156686497757244\/?type=3\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook post<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bobafettfanclub\/status\/1025809856446398464\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter post<\/a> for an outpouring of support from those who met or wanted to meet Jeremy on tour.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use our square graphic to share yourself on social media.
