Dear CX gamer,

To understand the greater context to this image you'll want to enjoy the movie Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, the final film in the series, paying particular attention to how the leader of the Rebel Fleet is a giant fish, and he employs all of his giant fish friends as advisors, but you never see any giant fish do anything else in any of the other movies. Which makes Ackbar kind of the "George Bush" of the Rebel Alliance, in addition to being a wicked good barista. Hmph. Nepotism.

Anyway, to explain the rest of the joke, Admiral "Obvious" Ackbar also proclaims to the world when realizing (after everyone else already has) that, "It's a trap!" (referring to the Rebel Fleet's attack attempt on the Empire). This being arguably his most famous line from the movie. The play on words here should now be evident.

I would also wish to offer public apologies to vraiment for repeating his posting of the image, as I did not realize that it had been posted previously, although that seems obvious now. You see, vraiment's user icon is a wonderfully witty representation of Ackbar in a Spanish hat-dance hat, and so I thought people would derive a similar amusement from seeing Ackbar depicted as a barista, which is why I created the post. It was never my intent to create confusion around such Ackbarian mysteries, and I apologize for doing so. But hopefully now I have cleared up this matter.

Your very humble servant,
assdef

Instead I should concern myself with more important things. Like ASDF.

You're right, sorry! Apologies if I offended any Spanish people.
