20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise Of Skywalker
4. The Rise Of The Cameos
Who wouldn't jump at the chance to step into the galaxy far, far away for the day, eh?
Joining the likes of the many returning Jedi voices, one of The Rise of Skywalker's screenwriters Chris Terrio voiced the aforementioned Aftab Ackbar, Warwick Davis made his Star Wars comeback as Wicket W. Warrick on the forest moon of Endor alongside his son Harrison Davis as Pommet, and Ed Sheeran showed up as a stormtrooper and the Resistance's Engi Golba in Episode IX.
Elsewhere, Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also helped create the 'Lido Hey' song heard on Pasaana, shows up in the background during the Resistance's celebrations on Ajan Kloss.
Mark Hamill added another Star Wars cameo to his growing list by voicing the Ovissian who delivers a message to our heroes early on. Clerks director Kevin Smith could be seen as a Kijimi local, too.
And then there was the legendary John Williams, who briefly showed up on that same planet as Oma Tres, with Abrams and his team actually surrounding the iconic composer with various props that celebrated many of the films he'd majestically scored over the years.
