The Star Wars connection

I find it hard to believe that a comedy actor on AiTF and then AB'sP also provided the voice of Bobba Fett.
He is one of the overlooked celebs to have died last year.

Let me know if I'm on your ignore list.
Thanx!

I also know him as showing up on one of the "Airplane!" Movies.

Wingreen is superb as Harry, I was just saying.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

Star Wars connection? I suppose. I knew Jason Wingreen was the voice and I also knew about him unfortunately passing away last year. I think it sucks that they removed him and replaced him with Tempura Morrison in the special editions. Also another All In The Family/Star Wars trivia I always heard was Harrison 'Han Solo' Ford was offered the role of Mike Stivic, but he turned it down, because he felt the content of the show was too offensive.
