20 Things You Didn't Know About Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

12. Mark Hamill Voiced The Alien Boolio

Just as Mark Hamill had a secret second role in The Last Jedi, playing the monocled alien Dobbu Scay on Canto Bight, he too had a sneaky second part in The Rise of Skywalker.

Beyond re-appearing as the Force ghost of Luke Skywalker, Hamill also provided the voice for Boolio, an alien miner who aided the Resistance during the movie.

The character was performed on-set by Aidan Cook, while Hamill slyly took his credit under the pseudonym "Patrick Williams" - a moniker that combines the first names of his two brothers.

Perhaps Hamill should become the John Ratzenberger or Stan Lee of the Star Wars movies from this point - a good luck charm who shows up to play a random minor character in each film.
