Although not identified in the movie, the rebel officer strangled by Darth Vader is supposed to be Captain Raymus Antilles, to whom C-3PO refers as the droids' previous owner later in the movie. Played by Peter Geddis, the officer was not given an actual name in either the script nor in any of the official tie-in publications, such as the novelization (in which the droids' previous owner is known as "Captain Colton"). It was actually author Brian Daley who identified this character as Captain Antilles in Star Wars: The Original Radio Drama (1981). In Daley's telling of events, the role of Captain Antilles, voiced by David Ackroyd, is greatly expanded, making it clear that he is the officer strangled by Darth Vader.
