10 Iconic Movie Characters Who Suffered Insulting Deaths

10. Admiral Ackbar - The Last Jedi

When Disney's Star Wars trilogy was announced, the sci-fi community couldn't contain its joy. Not only would we experience brand-new stories in a galaxy far, far away, we'd see familiar faces like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia.

But Star War buffs were just as pumped to see more obscure characters, including Admiral Ackbar. Since he oversaw the destruction of the second Death Star, Ackbar had been a fan-favourite, and even casual viewers knew him for his classic line, "It's a trap!"

Although the lobster-like rebel had to settle for a glorified cameo in The Force Awakens, it was hoped that Ackbar would have a beefier role in The Last Jedi. Instead, he was inelegantly snuffed out within the first 30 minutes.

Despite dying in the line of fire against an enemy he dedicated his life to destroy, nobody seems to acknowledge Ackbar's death. Instead, the scene focuses more on Princess Leia, even though she survives the attack! Worse still, Ackbar's name isn't mentioned again for the rest of the movie.

Even his physical performer Tim Rose and voice actor Tom Kane both exclaimed their frustration with this scene, feeling that Ackbar deserved better.
