My refrigerator magnet is very sad today

akbar's voice sounded really weird in the last one. ALSO did anyone else think that C3PO's voice for the first half of his lines was someone else? didn't sound like anthony daniels at all, only near the end could you tell that it was him. I'm predicting a peter mayhew style thing... only for select parts etc.

He also did the voice of one my favourite ROTJ characters, Bib Fortuna, Jabba the Hutt's majordomo:

I never heard him addressed by his title ''Ackbar'' in the film so I knew him as Fishface.

It was him doing the voice, and Tim Rose in the costume (who played Ackbar in ROTJ).

Ackbar's credentials being called into question by a bunch of boorish daily mail readers. Typical!

It's a R.I.P.

te greatest trap is failing to repent and believe

RIP

I wonder if he saw it coming.

C3POs voice was so weird and non-C3PO-y it just about convinced me alone it was Anthony Daniels doing the voice... because if it was anyone else doing the voice they no doubt would've had the opportunity to find someone impersonating the original voice more closely i reckon.

I don't even know if this guy's from star wars or star trek
