‘Star Wars: Episode 8 - The Last Jedi’ Cast Gary Barlow; Take That Vocalist Talks About his Character
The Take That frontman Gary Barlow is gracing "Star Wars: Episode 8 - The Last Jedi" in an unknown role yet. However, the 46-year-old star gave some details of his character in the new installment of the movie franchise in an interview on "Lorraine."
Barlow confirmed his appearance in "Star Wars: Episode 8 - The Last Jedi" following the 2015 "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." But, the lead vocalist of British pop-group asserted that he won't be playing the role of a stormtrooper.
According to Mirror Online, Barlow's face will be visibly seen in "Star Wars: Episode 8 - The Last Jedi" unlike Daniel Craig's cameo role as a stormtrooper. "I'm in it but I'm not a stormtrooper, you can see my face," he told Ross King in the interview.
Barlow added that as he gave a hint of what his role in "Star Wars: Episode 8 - The Last Jedi," he might be kicked out in the film. "The Star Wars people are very strict about what you say. By me saying that I'm probably out of the role," he added.
Moreover, Barlow will be joining the likes of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker and Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa. Fortunately, the mother of Billie Lourd managed to finish filming "Star Wars: Episode 8 - The Last Jedi" before she unexpectedly died in December 2016.
Aside from Barlow, Hamill and Fisher, "Star Wars: Episode 8 - The Last Jedi" will be featuring Daisy Ridley as Rey and John Boyega as the runaway stormtrooper Finn, BBC News reported. Other stars that will be seen in the film are Oscar Isaac, Anthony Daniels and Lupita Nyong'o.
"Star Wars: Episode 8 - The Last Jedi" is originally set to be released in May but has been pushed back to December. Lucasfilm has yet to reveal the reason for the delay, but it is strongly believed that the movie's script has been rewritten.
