20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi

9. Mark Hamill's Other Role

Not only did the mighty Mark Hamill score top billing during his proper return to the franchise in Episode VIII - that ridiculously short Force Awakens cameo definitely didn't count! - but he also managed to surprisingly land not one, but two parts in The Last Jedi.

Listen closely when BB-8 is ambushed by a little alien gambler in Canto Bight and you'll perhaps recognise the creatures grumbles and growls. That's because Hamill's voice was very much the one coming out of Dobbu Scay's mouth - an anagram of the name of the film's editor Bob Duscay - in the flick.

It is commonly (& mistakenly) reported that I only did the voice of Dobbu Scay, but I filmed the scene in a full motion-capture suit w/ a giant-sized medicine ball to make me the same size as BB-8. I didn't expect to be credited, assuming it would be another unbilled easter-egg. https://t.co/f6hAPOstxR

The legendary voice actor actually went out of his way to ask his director for an additional CGI role in the movie (via EW). And this wasn't simply a case of sitting in a recording booth and pretending to be the amphibian, Hamill actually had to don a full motion-capture suit and act opposite a giant BB-8 to play the diminutive menace (via CinemaBlend).

Just your average day at the Star Wars office then...
