Ackbar's true fate, as chronicled in EFAP 17

On EFAP 17, CinemaWins complimented The Last Jedi's use of "The Imperial March" in response to Vader's name being said by Snoke. Rags countered that the music isn't actually "responding" to his name being mentioned, since there isn't an orchestra in the room with Snoke. Wolf pointed out that given Snoke's decorating habits, he may very well have an orchestra in the room with him. This devolved into Rags shouting, "Quick! Play _____'s Theme!" with the names of various Star Wars characters. When Wolf later asserted that Admiral Ackbar is still alive floating in space, and MauLer laid out a scenario where he accidentally lands on the Supremacy and confronts The First Order, Rags called out, "Quick! Play Ackbar's Theme!" and started singing/shouting "Ocean Man."
