ST Admiral Ackbar in Episode VIII

Force Ghost Ackbar: “It’s a trap! I thought I was getting out of this hellhole, and here I am. Only I can’t even fly ships anymore.”

 

Another Star Wars film with a Death Star and without Ackbar - seems like a cheat for us.

 

I actually like how offhandedly brutal Admiral Ackbar's death is. Not everybody get a big time ending in a war, sometimes the shell just goes off too closely.

There's a new Mon Calamari in the new Journey to Star Wars: Allegiance comic that's supposed to be released in October. and I'm hoping he or she is the child or neice of Admiral Ackbar and takes up his mantle as leader of the Resistance's fleet.

 

My thoughts exactly. I love Ackbar, but it's a cold galaxy out there.

 

Somewhere someone is having deep fried calamari at the local admiral's snackbar.

 

Agreed. I like the character but don’t see the huge reason to be angry about his demise. Lots of SW characters die.

 

They had to kill him off so that Admiral Holdo could step in and show us men that a strong woman is all we need and can save the day. Disney star wars doesn't care about OT characters and has done its best to try and ruin them. Plus if they used him they'd probably have to pay GL some royalties.

 

Jokes aside. Maybe the problem was that Erik Bauersfeld died during the production

 

I really don't know why people act like Ackbar was such a major character that deserved any real story line.

The admiral went down with his crew. Heroic enough for me.

 

Jesus man how far down the YouTube rabbit hole have you been that you believe that?

 

Yeah, as you can see not the biggest TLJ fan and honestly I don't understand why everyone was mad AA died, he's not that big of a deal.

 

He's a fan favorite to a lot of people. A lot of fans were disappointed at the perfunctory way his death happened. Honestly, I didn't even see it the first time I saw the film. He deserved better.

 

Sir, yes Sir!
General @Sarge has spoken!

 

"General Sarge?" Sergeant General? Nah, that just sounds silly.

Edit to add mandatory "DON'T CALL ME SIR, I WORK FOR A LIVING!"

 

Gibbs?

 

No, it's a trap.

 

It was such a thrilling appearance it’s inspired nearly four pages of discussion!

 

A strong woman can save the day, if properly written. However, Johnson didn't have to kill of Admiral Ackbar in such a wasteful manner to achieve this.

 

Would have been cool if Ackbar made the sacrifice. Would have been more meaningful to me.

 

Yes, let's have the character named 'Ackbar' commit a suicide attack and see how well that goes down.
