Erik Bauersfeld, who memorably voiced the Rebellion’s Admiral Ackbar in Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has recently passed away. He was 93.
Bauersfeld voiced Ackbar— delivering the iconic line, “It’s a trap!” — when the fate of the alliance looks grim during the Death Star fleet attack. He also voiced characters such as Jabba the Hutt’s staffer Bib Fortuna in the same film.
Rest in Peace Eric, may the force be with you!
