25 Star Wars Actors Who Are No Longer With Us

22. Alex McCrindle

Known for appearances on The Saint and Dr. Finlay's Casebook, Scottish actor Alex McCrindle's most well known role was likely General Dodonna in the original Star Wars film. One of the first generals in theRebel military, Dodonna is a character who would go on to be a far greater part of the Star Wars universe than many casual fans might realise: although the character (and McCrindle) would only appear in the one film, he would turn up in the Star Wars radio drama (with a different actor providing the voice), several video games, and comic books. McCrindle was also known for campaigning for equity bonuses for all the actors in the original Star Wars films, many of whom were working for movie "points" rather than regular salary. He passed away in April, 1990.
