Actor and radio drama personality Erik Bauersfeld has died aged 93. Although a presence on the airwaves for many years, by far his most famous work was for a minor character in the Star Wars movie Return of the Jedi: rebel ship commander Admiral Ackbar. His line 'It's a Trap!' - spoken as the Rebellion attacks the Empire's Death Star - became an instant hit, remaining popularly quoted to this day. Together with Ackbar, Bauersfeld also voiced Jabba the Hutt's majordomo Bib Fortuna, and was considered for the role of Yoda which was eventually taken by Frank Oz.
