Kenny Baker, Star Wars R2-D2 actor, dies aged 81

Quote:
British actor Kenny Baker, who starred as R2-D2 in six Star Wars films, has died aged 81 after a long illness, his niece has confirmed.
Baker made his name as the robot in the first Star Wars film in 1977 alongside Anthony Daniels's C-3PO character.
Star Wars creator George Lucas paid tribute to a "real gentleman" and Mark Hamill - Luke Skywalker in the films - said he had lost "a lifelong friend".

RIP to a great actor. He was in a few of my all time fav movies including Time Bandits.
