An important force in creating one of the most iconic scenes in all of "Star Wars" has sadly passed away. Actress Maria De Aragon was behind the mask of 'Greedo' in George Lucas' original "Star Wars" film in 1977. She and Harrison Ford combined to great the infamous "Han Shoots Greedo" sequence that has become the subject of much change and debate over the years.

According to management company Coolwaters Productions, De Aragon died earlier this year at the age of 81, passing away in April of natural causes.

The company shared a statement on Instagram that confirmed the news of De Aragon's passing, and told the story of how she came to join the film as the actor beneath Greedo's mask.
