Star Wars actor, Alfie Curtis has passed away at age 87

Curtis portrayed one of George Lucas’ unforgettable characters. - by Arielle Tsoukatos
  • 28 Dec 2017

Alfie Curtis, who played Dr Evazan in Star Wars: A New Hope, has died at the age of 87, confirms the BBC.

The actor also starred in the 1980 film, The Elephant Man and the 80s UK TV series Cribb.

Although Curtis' role in George Lucas' sci-fi classic was brief, his scene remains one of Star Wars' most memorable. His character famously threatened Luke Skywalker at Mos Eisley Cantina in the first of the original trilogy in 1977, telling him: "I have the death sentence on 12 systems".

Mark Hamill, who played Skywalker, has paid tribute to the late actor, remembering Alfie as "funny, kind & a real gentleman."
