Kenny Baker passed away today at the age of 81, just days before his 82nd birthday, according to StarWars.com. Baker starred in several movies including Time Bandits, The Elephant Man and Amadeus, but he was most famous for a role we didn’t see him in. He was the man behind R2-D2 in the first six Star Wars movies.
Even though he was only 3’8″, his heart was 7’tall. Today, remember the man who brought us so much joy by watching one of his many movies and beeping just like infamous character to keep his huge beautiful spirit alive.
