Rest In Peace.

Always remember him for his role in "SPARE THE ROD"(1961) R.I.P.

He helped create an amazing looking character that was the best Star Wars toy.

He also played the cowardly Imperial that grabs Leia and uses her as a human shield in The Empire Strikes Back.

Is Bulloch heard in Empire and Return anymore? Obviously, he was and he should be. But I thought I read somewhere that Lucas changed out the voice to Temuera Morrison for one of the disc releases to match the idea that Boba is a clone of Jango from the prequels. So if I were to watch it tonight, hypothetically, would I only see Bulloch moving inside the suit?

Bulloch was never actually heard in The Empire Strikes Back. His voice was dubbed by Jason Wingreen for the original release and all official releases since the 2004 DVD, Morrison has been the voice of Boba Fett.

EDIT: In Return Of The Jedi, Boba Fett's only dialogue is yelling as he falls in the sarlacc so I don't think there's any known credit for who did that.

Didn’t I read somewhere that the guy who played Dak (who claimed he could take on the empire all by himself) actually played Fett in the shot where he says “He’s no good to me dead!” as Bulloch was unavailable that day?

Correct. Apparently Bulloch was playing the Imperial officer that day so John Morton (Dak) played Fett. More here: https://www.starwars.com/news/becoming-boba-coming-to-terms-with-an-alter-ego
