Faretheewell, Peter Sumner

[CRBWildcat]

Probably not a familiar name, but actor Peter Sumner died recently. He was 74.

He had roles in a variety of films and TV shows over the decades, plus some work in Shakespearean plays. Fans of Star Wars might remember him as an officer on the Death Star who gets clocked by Chewbacca; last year, he went so far as to joke last year that "TK-421, do you copy?" would probably be written on his tombstone.

I had to look up the specific scene where TK-421 featured in, but after reading up it rings a bell

Death of someone is Always a bad piece of news, specifically if they're under 80 years of age.
