Star Wars is about family above all else of course, and so it's fitting the J.J. Abrams managed to include the descendant of a departed franchise legend in a small cameo role.

Sally Guinness, herself an actress and the granddaughter of original Obi-Wan Kenobi actor Alec Guinness, appears briefly in the film as a First Order officer during the scene where Kylo Ren addresses a council.

As cute a cameo as this is, it's also mildly hilarious that the granddaughter of one of the most prominent heroes in the Star Wars franchise ended up playing a grunt on the other side.
