ackbar actors tim rose and tom kane also said they were disappointed with how the character's death was handled. rose hoped ackbar would have a more substantial role in "the last jedi" than he had in the latter film, and was unhappy the character again received little screen time and was abruptly killed. rose said: "each day i would come to work going, 'is today the day when ackbar gets something a bit more involving?’ and i looked at my script and i went, 'oh, ackbar's going out of the window. well, that's that then!'". kane likewise thought the death scene was poorly handled, and believed ackbar should have been given the larger role in "the last jedi" that went to vice admiral amilyn holdo, a new character played by laura dern. "the last jedi" editor bob ducsay said he was also disappointed with how the scene was handled, saying it was "slightly incidental", though he said the scene was intentionally designed that way and he did not come to have second thoughts about it until after watching the completed film. gary whitta, who co-wrote the story for the film "rogue one" and wrote several other "star wars" projects, said he was saddened by how quickly ackbar died.
