“He passed away this morning on Covid-19 at St Peter’s Hospital, Chertsey.

Andrew Jack played Major Ematt, one of the leaders of the Resistance, in two Star Wars installments.

“She was unable to see or speak to him at the end of her life and there is a possibility that a funeral will not be held,” McCullough said. Andrew Jack played Major Ematt, one of the leaders of the Resistance, in two installments of Star Wars, The Force Awakens (2015) and The Last Jedi (2017).
