    Wow, old site with old news, and Anthony Daniels' link is broken or something. For shame, ABC.

    I always thought that maybe they just left him in the costume and forgot about him.

    Kenny Baker was at a toy convention here in Pittsburgh about 3 or 4 months ago. He wanted like 40 bucks for a signed picture of him... Nah I'll pass.
