It might be worth noting that people of extreme height tend to die younger than average - in which case Mayhew making it into his 70's is a pretty good run. (Most common cause of the very tall dying is heart failure... which also got Mayhew).Lord Revan wrote: ↑2019-05-02 10:02pm Sad in predictble news, the OT starts are in their 60s or 70s now so while it's not typical for people die that young it's not unheard of either.
Harrison Ford is in pretty good health, as is Mark Hamill as far as I know. Both of those men could live into their 80 (or longer, with some luck). James Earl Jones, the Voice of Vader, is still around and have been dealing with diabetes for decades. I don't really follow anyone else from the original trilogy, although a quick google shows that David Prowse, the Body of Vader, is in his 80's and suffering health problems so I wouldn't be surprised if he passes in the near future. But I'd be happy to be wrong. Anthony Daniels (C3PO) is still around and in his 70's.That said I think most major stars from the OT are in pretty good health, so we're not in the risk of loosing them any time soon.
