10 Actors Who Made Sure They Weren't Seen In Star Wars

The moment that Rian Johnson was announced to be directing The Last Jedi, it was basically inevitable that his good friend Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be making an appearance in the movie.

After all, Gordon-Levitt had either starred or cameo'd in each of Johnson's films up to this point, enough that he'd seemingly become a good luck charm for the director.

But Gordon-Levitt's part in The Last Jedi is one you'll be hard-pressed to spot without knowing about it beforehand, given that it's both a voice-only role and one that sounds nothing like his natural accent.

The actor voices a disgruntled alien named Slowen Lo on Canto Bight - played on-set by Dee Tails - who can be overheard complaining about Finn (John Boyega) and Rose (Kelly Marie Tran) parking their shuttle on the nearby beach and ignoring his request to move it.

Fun fact: "Slowen Lo" is also a cute reference to The Beastie Boys' song "Slow and Low", due to The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker's director J.J. Abrams being a huge fan of the band.
