The Star Wars’ R2-D2 actor Kenny Baker has been buried earlier this afternoon. Darth Vader actor David Prowse made sure the force went with the diminutive actor, alongside model Linda Lusardi and comedian Bernie Clifton, at the funeral service and cremation in Lancashire.


The 3ft 8in performer, who played the famous blue and white droid that beeps and whistles, was also sent flowers from George Lucas film and Disney with the message: 'You brought so much joy to the Star Wars family'. He died few weeks ago at age 81.
