Erik Bauersfeld, the actor who voiced Adm. Ackbar in the "Star Wars" franchise, died on Sunday at age 93, according to the agency that represented him.
Adm. Ackbar was featured in "Return of the Jedi" in 1983 and again in 2015 in "The Force Awakens." His character, the supreme commander of the Rebel Alliance, led major combat operations against the Galactic Empire. He was best known for the one-liner, "It's a trap."
Bauersfeld died of natural causes at his home in Berkeley, California, according to Coolwaters Productions, which represented him.
"Erik will be deeply missed by his family here at Coolwaters and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends," said Derek Maki, spokesman for Coolwaters Production.
