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

There aren't many bigger Star Wars fans on this planet than the nerd supreme himself, Kevin Smith, who managed to get invited to the set of The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker through his friendship with J.J. Abrams.

More to the point, Smith ended up having minor roles in both films, forever cementing him within the very mythology he loves so much.

In The Force Awakens Smith provided a voiceover-only role, voicing a Stormtrooper who reacts to incoming Resistance fighters by saying, "We have incoming at 28.6! Move!"

But for The Rise of Skywalker, Smith got to actually play a part on-screen and physically appear in the final movie, albeit under a thick disguise.

Smith portrayed a bundled-up resident of Kijimi when Poe (Oscar Isaac) skulks around its streets, getting screen time of around a second.

There's basically zero chance anybody could spot Smith from either of these cameos, and given the potential for Silent Bob to be a massive distraction in a Star Wars movie, it's just as well.
