One of the more crowd-pleasing cameos in the movie was that of Wedge Antilles (Denis Lawson), Luke Skywalker's legendary pilot pal who appeared in all three of the original Star Wars movies.

Lawson was originally asked to reprise the role for The Force Awakens but was unable due to scheduling conflicts, though did end up having a small voiceover cameo in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

But Lawson show up in-the-flesh this time around for a few brief moments during the film's final battle, and mercifully, appears to survive.
