 Star Wars Holiday Special

Earlier this week we learned that Don Francks, the voice of #BobaFett in the #StarWars Holiday Special, passed away.

Here is our tribute to remember his incredible talent, providing the very first voice of the character we all know and love. He also did the voice of Fett in the "Droids" cartoon in 1985.

Don was born February 28, 1932. He was 84 years old.
