Star Wars actor Kenneth Colley has died at the age of 87 after contracting Covid and developing pneumonia.
The English film and television actor is best known for starring in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as Admiral Piett, an imperial officer in command of Darth Vader's flagship.
His agent of 10 years, Julian Owen issued a statement which said that he died 'peacefully' on Monday, June 30, in Ashford, Kent.
After injuring his arm after a fall, he was taken to hospital where he caught Covid, which developed into pneumonia.
The statement from his agent said: 'He had been admitted after a fall with an injured arm, however he quickly contracted Covid which developed into pneumonia.
'He passed away peacefully with friends at his bedside. Ken Colley was one of our finest character actors with a career spanning 60 years.
'Ken continually worked on stage, film and television playing a vast array of characters, from Jesus in Monty Python's Life of Brian to evil and eccentric characters in Ken Russell films, and the Duke of Vienna in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure for the BBC.'
In later years, he reprised his role of Admiral Piett when he voiced the character in the 2012 animated Lego production, Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out.
According to Colley, the character of Piett was not originally slated to appear in Return of the Jedi, but George Lucas added him because Lucasfilm had received 'a lot of fan mail' about the character.
He also had parts in international productions, including Clint Eastwood's Firefox and the Second World War series War and Remembrance.

And for “Covid”....the CDC is hiding the fact that a little bit of Ivermectin probably would have saved his life!
yep
worked for me twice
ivermectin and zinc
cleared up in 48 hours
Execute Fauci.
So far, he’s free as a bird.
Hopefully, he’ll at least be a JAIL bird, soon.
The lives he’s destroyed, with his evil, are beyond comprehension.
👍🏼👍🏼
We’ve been on the Ivm/Zinc/Quercetin preventative protocol since Dr Zelensky announced it ... we’ve never had ChyNah virus.
If you hadn’t been going on, we’d have heard that, big nose.
So... Covid is now almost exclusively spread and caught while housed in or visiting healthcare facilities and environments... Much like pneumonia.
Good to know.
I had the great honor of meeting Mr. Colley on a number of occasions. He was certainly recognized by his fans! He truly appreciated that, always took time to meet with people.
I told him that he played the luckiest man in the entire Empire. He said he never got tired of hearing that :-)
... and Fauci is living a wealthy lifestyle with his taxpayer-funded pension and lifelong benefits package. This guy hurt billions of people, and he killed many innocent people by what he did ... and continues to do through the few who remain loyal followers of this creature's abject evil.
Damn, too bad, but you know a bad case of the flu is very often deadly to the aged.

Nah, Piett died from an A-Wing crashing into the Super Star Destroyer’s bridge during Return of the Jedi.
Nosocomial cases of CoupFlu have always been a real danger.
Notice that we rarely hear about nosocomial spread.
There’s a very good reason for that.
...Conclusion Orthopedic patients who contract COVID-19 during hospitalization face a prolonged hospital course and earlier mortality despite similar overall death rates...
CoupFlu vaxxes kill in more ways than one.
BTW, that similar overall death rate stat smells.
Poor guy. Went to an NHS hospital for an injured arm, caught Covid and died. Isn’t “free” healthcare great? Go into the hospital for an injured arm and come out in a body bag.
Yep ... anything, but The Thing™
I wish we could convince more people of that. So many people think that doing this is a no-brainer.
