Jeremy Bulloch Interview

The incomparable Jeremy Bulloch recently announced his retirement from the fan event circuit. I had the considerable honour of working with Jeremy at a number of events, and meeting him beyond those chaotic cons. I interviewed him back in 1998 for the original UK Star Wars Fan Club, such as it was, and that’s the interview you will find here. I didn’t have the pure text version, which is why you are being subjected to the scan of the original (from the third and penultimate magazine, trivia fans).

Whatever praise has been heaped on Jeremy, and there has been and will be a great deal, is not enough. He did so much for fans in the UK and across the world, and not just for Star Wars fans – Robin of Sherwood and Doctor Who fans also profited from his presence. His genuine love and respect for the fans comes out in this interview; and it was genuine. Kind to a fault, patient to a saintly degree, Jeremy was and is the champion we fans deserved and needed. 

Thank you, Jeremy. And mind the doors!
