Erik Bauersfeld, who turned “It’s a trap!” into one of the most beloved lines of the Star Wars series, has died aged 93.
The performer, who voiced Star Wars character Admiral Ackbar in Return of the Jedi, died on Sunday at his home in Berkeley, California.
Bauersfeld voiced the roles of both the rebellion’s Admiral Ackbar and Jabba the Hutt’s henchman Bib Fortuna in the third movie in the sci-fi/fantasy series in 1983.
The character Admiral Ackbar also appeared in last year’s Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens.
