Haven’t seen anything about this on the Dope yet - apologies if it’s already been posted.
Erik Bauersfeld, who played everyone’s favourite fishy Admiral, has passed away aged 93.
Are they sure it’ not a trap 
? RIP.
Luckily, should the character reappear in Episode VIII, which is not unlikely, almost anyone can do his voice. It’s basically just a bad Nixon impression.
Well, Allahu, Ackbar. . . .
He just couldn’t repel firepower of that magnitude…
He will be wrapped in old newspaper and buried in the garden. (He’s too big to flush down the toilet.)
It’s a rap!
It’s a death trap!
Here’s a nice story about him: Lawrence Ferlinghetti Helped Erik Bauersfeld, Voice Of Admiral Ackbar, Die | Birth.Movies.Death.
How many Bothans died to bring you that information?
Actually, that’s Mon Mothma’s line, not Admiral Ackbar… but at least he was in the room!
It’s a wrap! It’s not a crap!
