Want to Know Who Exactly Daniel Craig Played in STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS?
Earlier this year Simon Pegg accidently revealed that Daniel Craig played a Stormtrooper in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Now that the film is in theaters, and people are starting to talk, we've learned what Stormtrooper he plays in the film.
SPOILERS ahead for anyone who hasn't seen the film yet:
According to EW, the Stormtrooper that was guarding Daisy Ridley's character Rey after she is captured and interrogated by Kylo Ren is Craig. This is the Stormtrooper that she taps into The Force to use a Jedi mind trick on.
"You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open," she says. It doesn't work at first, but after a couple goes at it, she gets him!
On top of that, the voices of many of the Stormtroopers were done by Star Wars: The Clone Wars and LucasArts alums. David Collins revealed them a screenshot of the credits. There you can see names such a Dee Bradley Baker, Dave Filoni, Tom Kane, Matthew Lanter, Meredith Salenger, and more.
It's pretty cool that Craig actually did have a fun unseen cameo in the movie. He completely denied it at one point though when he told EW,
“Why would I ever bother doing something like that? F—ing hell! Pffft. Play an extra in another movie.”
According to a studio insider, Craig did it for “ sh–s and grins.” He did great!
