Admiral Ackbar and Doctor Who



I was so looking forward to seeing Luke, Han and Leia return in Star Wars: The Force Awakens that I didn't even think about some of the more minor characters from the original trilogy that might make an appearance.  When Admiral Ackbar showed up, so did a huge smile across my face.  Who didn't love this guy?  I've always wondered how many of those bug-eyed fish sold at pet shops during Star Wars' heydey because of their resemblance to the good Admiral.

  1. The only trapezoid I see is the Admiral's own logo.

    1. If you're expanding to the screen as well as comics, could we see a meeting of Tin Tin (boy reporter), Tin Tin (Thunderbirds), Rin Tin Tin (woof!) and maybe even Tin from the Metal Men?

    2. You could call them the Tin Titans!

  2. You could have used Futurama here instead of Doctor Who. "It's a trap-a-Zoidberg!"

  3. RIP, Admiral Ackbar. Gratuitously killed off--along with Supreme Leader Snoke--in STAR WARS EPISODE VIII: THE LAST JEDI.

    Makes me wish Darth Vader could walk right up to Rian Johnson and go:

    "I find your lack of respect for continuity and fan loyalty disturbing."
