RIP Kenny Baker (Fidgit from Time Bandits) - cclark - 08-13-2016 Kenny Baker, who played R2-D2 in the Star Wars movies and Fidgit in Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits, has sadly passed away at 81. Quote:Despite the fame R2-D2 brought him, Baker told the BBC in 2001 that his own favourite screen role was as Fidgit in 1981's Time Bandits. RE: RIP Kenny Baker (Fidgit from Time Bandits) - MercuryZap - 08-13-2016 Hi Just saw this. Will watch Time Bandits tonight. He brought great heart to his role in the film. Rest in peace. Best Mark RE: RIP Kenny Baker (Fidgit from Time Bandits) - leoconsole - 08-15-2016 Lovely tribute from Gilliam over on facebook with the goblet photoshopped to look like a holy grail. I love Time Bandits and as a child I watched it hundreds of times. Fidget was my favourite character in that film. As others have said he brings a lot of heart to the role, he's the one who seems to befriend Kevin. He just comes across as 100% good guy. |
