Kenny was such a huge part of my childhood and I never saw a picture of him not smiling.

Very sad news. I took this pic of my SS R2D2 as a sort of tribute to Mr. Baker.

So sad. I got to meet him years ago in Vegas. We were standing waiting to get into Ka and I looked over and told my friends that's R2-D2. They looked at me like I was crazy.

 

[TaliBane]

Very sad. I wonder if Daniels will make any sort of comment.

Very sad indeed. Over the last 15 years, I attended over a dozen Wizard World Comic Book Conventions and he was just about at everyone of them until very recently. Nice man; just a great human being really. RIP Kenny.

I had the fortune of meeting Kenny a few times at conventions. He always had a smile on his face and time for people. Him and his wife were always very engaging with us Star Wars fans. He put the personality into R2 who still remains one of my most cherished characters.
