So he was in Star Wars as Stormtrooper


Just read the news, he was indeed in the new Star Wars movie as the stormtrooper who was under mind control by rey when she was captured.

"You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open.”
Craig: replies: “I’ll tighten those restraints, scavenger scum,”

yeah his scene was quite funny, i was pleasantly surprised that it was him who played the stormtrooper.

what this movie lacked in originality... at least it had in comic relief

reply

yeah, that's a bit unbelievable. any idea why he did that? was it JJ's idea of Easter Egg or his own tribute to saga? or anything else?

reply

Star Wars and the new James Bond Movie Spectre were filmed during the same time at the same studios in London. JJ Abarams invited Daniel Craig on set, and one thing let to another. In the end, this is the result.

I didn't catch it the first time but on the second viewing when I knew to look out for him, I heard it. His voice is very recognisable when he leaves the room and says "aaand I will drop my weapon". Funny easter egg.

I was like God Damn that voice is familiar...

- Editor of many movies you've probably noticed on Netflix but never actually watched.

No. Star Wars was filmed from May 2014 until November 2014,
and James Bond was filmed from December 2014 until July 2015.

They were NOT filmed during the same time.

Craig just visited the Star Wars set BEFORE he did James Bond.

Wouldn't it be cool, if his scene was filmed at the 007 stage?

I liked the fact that his stormtrooper is credited as JB-007.

It's that man again!!
