10 Actors Completely Wasted In Star Wars

Putting together one of the most diverse and consistently outstanding bodies of work you'll find in the industry today over the course of the last few years in particular, British acting sensation Riz Ahmed can pretty much always be counted on to deliver the goods no matter what dramatic or comedic material is laid before him.

That being said, while his stunning work in everything from Nightcrawler to Sound of Metal deserves to be hugely praised and then some, the same sadly cannot be said for a number of his slightly underwhelming blockbuster appearances to date.

And joining his less than thrilling turn as Venom's Carlton Drake/Riot, though that was more down to some uninspired writing than his commitment, admittedly, was his rather forgettable showing alongside fellow Rebels Felicity Jones and Diego Luna in 2016's Rogue One.

Again, it's not that Ahmed was terrible by any means, still proving his worth in former Empire pilot Bodhi Rook's few moments in the spotlight whilst being tortured by Bor Gullet, for example. But it's hard to escape the feeling that an actor of Ahmed's pedigree was a little bit wasted here in the bit part of exposition spouter and eventual casualty of war.
