Yet another famous person hidden away as a Stormtrooper in The Force Awakens is director Kevin Smith, of Clerks fame. Known for being a complete comic book and sci-fi nerd and just generally a fanboy of all trades, it isn’t really a shock that he’s in the film.
Smith voices a Stormtrooper who is present in the siege on Maz Kanata’s castle. When the Resistance send in back-up, he can be heard saying, “We have incoming 28.6! Move!”
