ROGUE TWO - ANOTHER STAR WARS STORY

Prior to and during the Battle Of Hoth, Zev Senesca flew under the callsign of Rogue Two until he was shot down by an Imperial AT-AT Walker.

Zev is credited as the pilot who rescued both Commander Luke Skywalker and Captain Han Solo after they were marooned in a particularly heavy blizzard.

Zev Senesca was played by actor Christopher Malcolm. Originally from Scotland, Malcolm grew up in Canada before returning to the UK at the age of 19. He began work with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and went on to have a long and successful career in acting and production.

Other highlights of Malcolm's career included the role of Brad Majors in the original Rocky Horror Show, and he went on to work as a producer on subsequent Rocky Horror productions. British readers will also recall his occasional appearances on TV hit Absolutely Fabulous as Justin, the gay ex-husband of crazed PR operative Edina Monsoon and father of her alienated daughter Saffy.

Sadly, Christopher Malcolm died on 15th February 2014, aged 67. He is survived by his wife, actress Judy Lloyd, and his three children and one grandson.
