if you would join us hey guys how you doing today so half of the fun of Star
Wars is that every celebrity actor and their moms want to be in a Star Wars
movie each film routinely boasts a slew of cameos for us to fan over and search
for the last Jedi had Princes William and Harry and Tom Hardy as stormtroopers
while Daniel Craig donned the white mask in the force awakens the list of cameos
from all the movies is honestly so huge that you should definitely check it out
just for fun of course my favorite is the cameo of the maker himself when
George Lucas stood outside the Supreme chancellor's box at the Opera and
Revenge of the Sith so today let's look at the top ten cameos from the rise of
Skywalker now I'm not gonna be including the Jedi voices in this list but I've
made a whole other video about them so you need to check that one out starting
us off in numbers 10 and 9 our Andy Serkis as Supreme Leader Snoke and James
Earl Jones as Darth Vader they each only have a few words in the opening moments
of the film as part of Palpatine's mind games with the young kylo Ren but their
voices have become integral parts of the movies and had to be mentioned to start
out especially with mr. Jones others have come close to mimicking his voice
but no one hits it like he does so I'm glad they got him for the movie coming
in at number 8 is one that probably doesn't count as a cameo but since she
is a seasoned actress I got a kick out of it
it's Shirley Henderson as babble Frick yeah Babu is voiced by a girl who also
happens to be the actress who plays Moaning Myrtle
in Harry Potter franchise shout out to my Harry Potter channel Harry Potter
theory you can find it down below in the description or just search for it so
that whining voice of Myrtle transferred beautifully to Babu if any of you
recognized her voice during the movie I'm impressed and may the force be with
you in the seventh spot we have singer at Sheeran and possibly Harry Styles as
stormtroopers they aren't the first Brits to have cool cameos as I mentioned
earlier but Ed Sheeran joins the ranks for his second major franchise cameo in
just a few years hopefully this stormtrooper fared far better than his
Lannister soldier in Game of Thrones but then again he seems to be on the snow
planet of koji me and that exploded so maybe not according to a tweet from Mark
Hamill either Harry Styles also has a cameo as a stormtrooper or he's just
being marked and tweeting something for fun unless we get pics of hair
in costume it never happened next up in sixth place we have lin-manuel Miranda
as a resistance fighter this isn't the Hamilton composers first foray for the
sequel trilogy he also co-wrote the music we hear playing in maz kanata's
cantina on takodana and also wrote some of the music we hear during the
celebration on Posada in Episode nine look for him during the celebration at
the end of the movie and you just may see him in fifth place we have a Star
Wars legend Denis Lawson as wedge antilles Lucasfilm teased wedges
returned in the cannon books leading up to the movie and I was really happy to
see him again even if it was just for one shot and did you know that Denis
Lawson is actually Ewan McGregor's uncle the whole audience cheered in my theater
when they saw wedge back in the Gunners seat in fourth place we have the return
of one of my personal favorites Warwick Davis as wicked it was a pretty random
cameo but also well deserved since he walks have been the butt of jokes since
1983 when Return of the Jedi came out Warwick Davis who plays wicket in
episode 9 is a longtime Star Wars actor he originally played wicket as an
eleven-year-old and Return of the Jedi he then has had alien cameos in a number
of Star Wars films including the Phantom Menace the force awakens and the last
Jedi so it's really great to see him again
plus the young II walk beside him was played by his 16 year old son Harrison
Davis named after one of the actors his father idolized on his first job now
let's get into more of the crew cameos coming in at third is co-writer Chris
Terrio as Aftab Akbar the oscar-winning writer didn't just co-write the rise of
Skywalker screenplay with Abrams he'll to voice the son of the legendary
Admiral Ackbar who met his fiery doom in the last Jedi which was a huge letdown
if you're struggling to remember Aftab Akbar was then Mon Calamari an who
says it cannot be the Emperor is dead during the resistance planning meeting
tario said of the role you caught it I love Admiral Ackbar I've loved him since
I was a kid and I definitely went into mourning a bit when Akbar was killed
well we all did as well an early discussion that JJ and I had was that he
was a great Admiral and leader could he to have had a child that's when Colonel
Aftab Akbar came about it also keeps with a theme that runs throughout the
new trilogy he much like all his human compete reott s-- is also trying to live
up to the legacy of his father in the you can see Aftab piloting one of the
resistance fighter ships I was doing his voice temporarily and then at a certain
point JJ said you can just do it and that was a huge thrill obviously now
speaking to JJ in second place we have the director himself JJ Abrams as the
little droid do you know the hair dryer looking one the filmmaker actually has
been in a lot of films a lot of his own films to be exact and sometimes even
plays himself in films and TV shows and even taking the minor role of the
grocery delivery boy opposite Harrison Ford in 1991's regarding Henry which JJ
Abrams wrote back when he was like 12 years old and was credited as Jeffrey
Abrams seriously watch the movie he's so young in it now in episode 9 he's a
little older and he voices the cone headed unicycle droid do who speaks with
words instead of the beeps of r2d2 and bb-8 mainly is just a little rolling
wheel of nervousness JJ didn't want to leave it as his voice screenwriter Chris
Terrio said his voice was just in there as temp and I was convinced after
watching a few cuts with JJ's voice as Gio that JJ was just do there was no
other possibility other actors were considered but tario won the argument to
keep it as is because Abrams anxious politeness cannot be replicated there's
something about the way that JJ pronounces some of those words like no
thank you and very kind thank you there so JJ and so do so that stuck around
tario said now you might be thinking that has to be the last one who can be
bigger than the director well the answer is obvious and it's bigger than the
Death Star it's none other than legendary composer John Williams himself
who plays the kid Jimmy bartender all my treads complete with a mechanical
eyepatch you'll see him right before Poe and the others go in to see bobble Frick
the 87 year old composer of the Star Wars saga films has 263 musical credits
but never before appeared on screen until the rise of Skywalker and as of
right now the rise of Skywalker will be his last Star Wars film
sadly Williams doesn't have any lines but his character's name oma Trez is an
anagram for maestro the shelves behind him even have things
from movies that he's composed like a hook so what do you think of the cameos
did you notice any others that got you excited
you know in the comments down below hope you enjoyed this video and I'll see you
in the next one until then remember the force will be with you always
Oh
you
