Many remember him as\u00a0The Sound of Music<\/em>‘s stern patriarch with a heart of gold, Captain Von Trapp, or perhaps as the ingenious murder-mystery author Harlan Thrombey in Rian Johnson’s\u00a0Knives Out<\/em>, but plenty of Trekkies\u00a0will fondly recall the late Christopher Plummer<\/a> as the Shakespeare-quoting Klingon general Chang from\u00a0Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country<\/em>. They showed their appreciation this weekend by coming together in Star<\/em> Trek Online<\/em>\u00a0to honor the man for his work and his life.<\/p>\n

Plummer, who\u00a0sadly passed away recently at the age of 91, reprised his role as General Chang in a handful of\u00a0Star Trek<\/em> video games alongside his big-screen experience, joining the cast of 1997’s\u00a0Star Trek: Starfleet Academy<\/em> and 2000’s\u00a0Star Trek: Klingon Academy<\/em>. To pay their respects, players in Cryptic Studios’ deep-space MMO\u00a0Star Trek Online<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>are gathering at the various in-game memorial plaques, which pay tribute to those who worked on the TV series and movies.<\/p>\n

Players took to Twitter and Reddit to share screenshots of their compatriots raising torches at the memorials on Klingon home world Qo’noS and Deep Space Nine, as well as fan-created characters in the image of Plummer’s role. Meanwhile, the official Star Trek Online<\/em> Twitter account offered its own tribute to the actor, thanking him for the ‘gravitas and respect’ that he brought to the role, and friends and co-stars William Shatner and George Takei offered their own tributes. These gestures are surely emblematic of the\u00a0high esteem in which so many hold the man – though it’s unlikely that the Plummer estate has\u00a0the same intentions for\u00a0the actor’s posthumous career\u00a0as\u00a0Star Trek:<\/em>\u00a0The Original Series<\/em> actor James Doohan<\/a>.<\/p>\n
