Star Trek Online players gather in-game to pay tribute to Christopher Plummer "I am constant as the northern star…" News by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director Updated on 6 Feb 2021 8 comments Star Trek Online players have gathered in-game to pay tribute to Christopher Plummer, the legendary Canadian actor who died aged 91 this week. The Oscar winner was perhaps best-known for playing Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music, but he famously starred as Klingon General Chang in the 1991 film Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country. Plummer reprised the role of Chang for the 2000 video game Star Trek: Klingon Academy, which explained how his character lost an eye. The video below shows the intro to the game: Players are currently gathering at the various memorials located within Star Trek Online (the game's memorial plaques pay tribute to the cast and crew of the Star Trek series and films). Redditor Lars2510 took to the Star Trek Online sub to post a screenshot of a gathering at the Klingon homeworld Qo'noS: We're on Qo'nos, instance #23, remembering Christopher Plummer/General Chang.

But Christopher Plummer brought a gravitas and a respect to the man that defined Klingons for ages to come. Rest in peace. pic.twitter.com/AwCr7ESy1a- Star Trek Online (@trekonlinegame) February 5, 2021 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

George Takei, who played Hikaru Sulu in the original series and movies, called the actor a "giant of stage and screen". The Sound of Music is a sad one today as Christopher Plummer has left us today. He was giant of stage and screen, winner of an Academy Award for "Beginners." He died at age 91 with his wife of 53 years, Elaine Taylor, by his side.
