Tributes have been pouring for actor Christopher Lee -- who passed away this week at the age of 93 -- from those who worked with him on the Star Wars and Middle-earth franchises.
George Lucas, who cast Lee as Count Dooku in the latter two installments of his Star Wars prequel trilogy, said in a statement, "Christopher was a great British actor of the old school. A true link to cinema's past and a real gentleman. We will miss him."
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy said: “Christopher brought a grace and gravitas to the many roles he's played over a rich and expansive career. His performance as Count Dooku in Episodes II and III remains a highlight of the Star Wars saga, and we have been so privileged and honored to count him among our family. Christopher was a gentle soul and deeply adored by fans, and we will miss him dearly.”
