Meet Admiral Ackbar, Who Still Hasn't Seen the Original Star Wars

Published: January 01, 0001

Everyone knows Frank Oz, of The Muppets fame, voiced Yoda in the Star Wars movies. Ditto for James Earl Jones and Darth Vader. But do you know who did the voice for Admiral Akbar, uttering one of the most widely-used lines from the original trilogy (IT’S A TRAP!)?(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" Yono Rummy }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Or the voice Yono Rummy of Mr. Head Tentacles himself, Bib Fortuna? They were both the work of this guy. Erik Bauersfeld, a veteran radio broadcaster, dramatist and sound expert. This interview with the 90 year-old Bauersfeld, conducted recently by Yono All APP the San Francisco Chronicle, is definitely worth your time. And not just because they get him to say the line. I had no idea, for example, that he wasn’t even l86 Yono All APP credited when Return of the Jedi was first released (though he’s since been slotted in, surely one of the few positive edits made to the movie). And it’s strangely wonderful that, despite the cultural importance (a l86 relative term on the internet, I know) of Ackbar’s biggest line, Bauersfeld had no idea it was so popular. And he hasn’t even seen the original Star Wars! Which somehow makes sense. I mean, why would he. There aren’t any Mon Calamari in it.

Customer support has been outstanding whenever I had any issues. They respond quickly and professionally, ensuring that any concerns with deposits, withdrawals, or gameplay are addressed immediately, which makes me trust the platform more. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.
