A tragic loss to all of us "Star Wars" fans.
The man behind the voice of the fan favorite Admiral Ackbar, Erik Bauersfeld passed away today in his California home at the age of 93. Bauersfeld voiced the character in both "Return of the Jedi" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". In addition to Admiral Ackbar, he also voiced Bib Fortuna, the Twi'lek that appears in Jabba's Palace, who also appeared in "Return of the Jedi". Although Bauersfeld was never a household name to most people, he will forever be the voice of Admiral Ackbar to all the "Star Wars" fans worlds and, on their behalf, I want to thank him for making two such small supporting characters into iconic fan favorites.
May you rest in peace, Erik Bauersfeld. The Force will be with you always.
