In a statement, children Rhiannon, Stephanie and Tyrone LeParmentier said: "At age 66, Richard Le Parmentier is one with the Force. We're deeply grateful to the many devoted fans who have posted personal remembrances of our dad as a warm, genuine person with an unparalleled joie de vivre and gift for friendship (not to mention a mean petanque player)." Petanque is a European game, like bocce ball. "To his fans and friends, his lines were the ultimate power in the universe. He absolutely loved travelling the world and meeting his friends and fellow Star Wars fan[s]." LeParmentier appeared in over 50 films and TV programs, including Octopussy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Superman II. Our thoughts go out to his loved ones.
