Damn, that's sad. His recent work in the Mandoverse was great, and I'm glad he went out on a high note.

It does suck. The Mandalorian is really popular in our house, so it’s kinda one of those feelings like “…but I just saw him the other day and he looked great!” when we learned he passed.

Downvoting for all caps title. Also you misspelled Mandalorian

I copied it directly from the site, so [sic].

He got a sticky on 4chan /tv/. An "honor" given to celebs who were meme-royalty.
