8. Daniel Craig's Cameo (The Force Awakens)

The Moment: Daniel Craig makes a brief cameo as the First Order Stormtrooper who Rey Jedi mind tricks into letting her go.

Why It's So Ridiculous: With so many high-profile actors wanting to make cameo appearances in the new Star Wars movies, a clever compromise has been to cast them in masked roles, to ensure they don't distract from the scene.

As such, it's hilarious that James Bond himself is cast in plain sight in this pivotal scene, though of course, those familiar with Craig's distinctive voice may well have caught the cameo on their own.

With early reports that Tom Hardy has a similar disguised role in The Last Jedi, it seems like this'll be a trend moving forward.
