    You know its coming, but it surprises you anyway. Kenny played in my mind perhaps the most important character in Star Wars. he saves virtually every Character in the series life at least once. Most importantly we fall in love with Star Wars because of a painted Garbage Can and a golden human. They carry the plot for almost 15 minutes, give or take a foot before we see a significant human being. RIP my friend, you have earned it.

    Thankyou for playing my favourite character R2-D2 all those years. And also for famously stealing a speederbike in Return Of The Jedi as the ewok Paploo.
