I think the thing with Admiral Ackbar is he was huge in the Old EU games and books and the character really transcended the 5 min of screen time he had in the films.

It must of felt bad being an actor with that much history with the character to be treated so casually.

Yet, he had like no screen time in the sequels either, so there wasn’t really any reason the film makers NEEDED to put him in the movie yet they did because it was expected and then they killed him.

I get that the creators didn’t have any obligation to put him in… I don’t know. The more I think about it the more I feel bad for the guy.
