The Many Faces of Ackbar

Well, the floodgates are wide open now.. Once the Ackbar starts (see last post) the Ackbar don't stop. So here's some more of our favorite Admiral for your pleasure.

Like most other Star Wars stars, Admiral Ackbar has had quite a life since getting airtime in the greatest trilogy of all time. Mark Hamill became a voice actor, Harrison Ford became Blade Runner, Indiana Jones, and... Henry in Regarding Henry? James Earl Jones became the Bell Atlantic guy. Yoda retired to George Henson's workshop. But I don't think has had quite the life Ackbar has post Star Wars. Check out what he's been up to besides getting his own cereal since the fall of the Empire.

First, he moved to Mexico and learned Spanish. El Ackbarro!












Then, he became a devout Muslim and changed his name to Allah Ackbar.










But after some time spent living on the fringe and very much out of the public eye, save for a public scuffle with Mike Tyson, he returned to society and teamed up with Steve Jobs at Apple and together they unveiled their genius invention of the iTrap.









Then, after tiring of the business world, he was drafted into the NFL and became an all star quarterback for the Oilers. Warren Ackbar! He became well known for always knowing when the defense was gonna blitz. "It's a trap!"







Then after retiring, as we all know, came his bid for president, where he lost by a hair to George W. Bush.











Which brings us to now. He recently got back into acting after his defeat at the presidential polls. He dies in Saw IV. Although, some speculate he has taken over as the new Jigsaw in the puzzling horror series. Only time will tell.
