Kenny Baker, known to many as the fellow inside of R2 D2 in the star wars films has died at the age of 81. However, I don't think of him as R2 D2 as much as I think of him as Fidgit from Time Bandits (front row: Second from left). I remember my parents taking me to see that film in the theater in 1981, and it's still a favorite of mine. With him gone, only two of the bandits remain, Malcolm Dixon, who played Strutter (second row: left) and Mike Edmonds, who played Og (front row: left)
