Who was Kenneth Colley? Star Wars' Admiral Piett dies at 87 from Covid — ‘He is immortalised in a galaxy far, far away,' say fans
Kenneth Colley, the British actor known for portraying Admiral Piett in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, has died at the age of 87. His agent, Julian Owen, confirmed Colley passed away peacefully at his home in Ashford, Kent, on Monday, following complications from Covid that developed into pneumonia. Colley had been admitted to hospital with an arm injury after a fall, during which he contracted Covid. His agent noted that the actor died with friends by his side. A six-decade career in stage and screen Colley's acting career spanned over 60 years across stage, film, and television. In addition to Star Wars, he was recognised for his roles in Monty Python's Life of Brian, where he played Jesus, and in various Ken Russell films portraying darker, more eccentric characters. He also appeared as the Duke of Vienna in Measure for Measure for the BBC and worked in international productions, including Clint Eastwood's Firefox and the Second World War television series War and Remembrance. Continued legacy in the star wars universe Though best remembered for his role in the Star Wars franchise, Colley also voiced Admiral Piett in the 2012 animated Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out. His association with the galaxy far, far away earned him invitations to conventions and fan events across the world. According to Owen, 'Ken Colley was one of our finest character actors,' with work that extended far beyond his most famous role. Fans took to social media to pay tribute, with one post reading, 'You are immortalised in a galaxy far, far away, and in the hearts of Star Wars fans everywhere. May the Force Be With You.' Man… I'm gutted today. Learned Ken Colley passed way. Admiral Piett is one of my favorite SW characters and favorite officer along with Veers. Really bummed. Another wrote, 'Admiral Piett is one of my favourite Star Wars characters… Really bummed to hear of Ken Colley's passing.' Personal passions beyond the screen Outside his acting life, Colley was known to enjoy gardening, collecting art, and had a strong interest in fast cars. His agent described these as a few of the passions that defined his life beyond performance. Colley's lasting impact on cinema, particularly through Star Wars, and his broad range of roles in both classical and contemporary productions, leaves behind a memorable legacy in the entertainment world.

Stop harassment of Bengal workers in your state, CS Pant writes to Odisha
Kolkata: Indicating a growing frustration with Bengali-speaking migrant workers being illegally detained in Odisha as Bangladeshis, Bengal chief secretary Manoj Pant on Thursday wrote to his Odisha counterpart, Manoj Ahuja, to put an end to this "continuing harassment faced by people from West Bengal" in the neighbouring state. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Samirul Islam, chairman of West Bengal Migrant Workers' Welfare Board and Trinamool's RS MP, threatened to move Calcutta High Court on the issue. "Thousands of people from Odisha live and work peacefully in Bengal. Not once has Bengal govt treated them with even a fraction of the hostility that Odisha is showing now," he said. Pant, in his letter, wrote: "We are receiving disturbing reports of such individuals being detained without due legal process in regions around Paradip and across coastal districts such as Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Bhadrak, Malkangiri, Balasore and Cuttack. What is even more concerning is that even when these persons produce valid identity documents — including Aadhaar cards, ration cards, voter IDs, electricity bills and PDS documents — their claims are being dismissed. In many instances, they are being asked to produce ancestral land records dating back several generations, an unreasonable and unjustifiable demand for migrant workers." Pant also mentioned how, "alarmingly, there have also been instances where, despite verification reports from competent authorities in West Bengal confirming the identity and citizenship of the individuals, there has been no positive action or relief". "I appeal to you to take a humanitarian view of the matter and ensure that these individuals, who are Indian citizens, are not subjected to arbitrary detention or harassment based on linguistic or regional identity," he wrote. "It is deeply distressing to learn that many of them are being targeted solely because they speak Bengali — their mother tongue — and are being unjustly labelled as Bangladeshi infiltrators. This sweeping generalisation is not only unfair and discriminatory, but also deeply hurtful to citizens who have every right to dignity and protection under the law," Pant added. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Islam, who has been vocal on the issue, said: "The Odisha authorities refused to accept any identity document like Aadhaar and EPIC, and demanded verification from Bengal govt. We promptly provided the required details — verified and furnished by none other than DMs and SPs. But even that failed to satisfy them. Next, they asked for the electoral roll where names of these individuals were listed. Once again, the Bengal administration complied and sent the relevant documents. " The MP said: "Our CM Mamata Banerjee believes in diversity and strives to maintain harmony in every sense. So, I sincerely urge the Odisha govt and BJP: do not play with fire. If you ignite the politics of hatred, you may end up being consumed by your own flames."
