Two years ago, The Force Awakens was teeming with super-secret celebrity cameos – Simon Pegg (Unkar Plutt), Daniel Craig (Stormtrooper) and Billie Lourd (Lieutenant Connix)…to name but three – and it seems Star Wars: The Last Jedi is no different.
On the eve of release, ComicBook.com has compiled a handy list of The Last Jedi‘s major cameos and, fair warning, it’s riddled with spoilers. Because Star Wars fans (and moviegoers in general!) often take great satisfaction from spotting these cameos on their own accord, we’ve included the rundown below the gallery, though we should stress that Tom Hardy (Venom), Prince William, Gary Barlow and Prince Harry were originally confirmed to appear back in November.
Not unlike Daniel Craig before them, they’ll play four nondescript Stormtroopers who will be seen marshaling John Boyega’s Finn into an elevator, presumably on board one of the First Order’s many Star Destroyers. Or, by the same line of thinking, Snoke’s super-sized Supremacy, a space vessel spanning 60km in length. Which brings us to The Last Jedi‘s other cameos. Spoilers to follow!
Still with us? According to the folks at ComicBook.com, Rian Johnson and Co. have included a number of big-name cameos all across Star Wars: The Last Jedi including *deep breath* Justin Theroux, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (a regular cohort of Johnson’s, following Brick and Looper), Noah Segan, Rogue One director Gareth Edwards and Warwick Davis who, like Theroux, appears amid the crowds of Canto Bight, the flashy Star Wars equivalent of Las Vegas. There’s another ‘celebrity’ who isn’t mentioned, though, and that’s Gary, Carrie Fisher‘s adorable little French Bulldog.
Championed as a jaw-dropping and spectacular continuation of the Star Wars saga, The Last Jedi is prepped and ready for launch. Expect Rian Johnson’s celebrity-filled sequel to begin its rollout overseas, before lighting up the domestic box office on December 15th.
