RIP: Admiral Motti

Post by Buzz Bumble »

This is being reported on lots of websites ...
After defying Lord Vader aboard the original Death Star, Admiral Motti became a symbol of the Empire's over-confidence. But the actor Richard LeParmentier has become a favourite amongst fans... and now, has sadly passed away.

Richard LeParmentier, who will be remembered for his role in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, was an accomplished actor who appeared in a number of classic films - performing alongside James Caan in the '70s classic Rollerball and appearing as Lt. Santino in the animated classic WhoFramed Roger Rabbit.

In fact, in his long career, Richard delivered a number of iconic lines... including the classic "Now that's what I call one seriously disturbed toon." But he will always be remembered for his over-confidence in the Empire. And perhaps his lack of faith (which Lord Vader found disturbing).

He will be remembered.

It is a bit sad, in that is seemed sudden. He was posting on Facebook up until just a few days prior.
