Phil Brown may not be a household name but his most famous character certainly is. Brown played Luke Skywalker’s Uncle Owen who, with his wife, died at the hands of Darth Vader’s (his brother) Storm Troopers.
Brown acted on both stage and screen for over 40 years, but he will long be remembered as the caring Uncle of that famous young Jedi Knight.
Brown, age 89 died from complications brought on by pneumonia and is survived by his wife of 65 years, one son, two grandchildren and one great grandchild.
