On Tuesday, Mark Hamill, who plays Skywalker in the film, tweeted Curtis would "be missed."
"Alfie Curtis made the #Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina scene (one of the most memorable I've ever been a part of) even More memorable. As horrific as he was on-camera, off-camera he was funny, kind & a real gentleman. Thanks Alf- you'll be missed....
