Earlier in the week Take That star Gary Barlow revealed that he has a small role in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and now another cameo may have been revealed, with Making Star Wars reporting that Justin Theroux (The Leftovers) will be making an appearance in the hotly-anticipated film.
The site reports that Theroux is playing “an expert slicer” (a “slicer” is basically the Star Wars term for a computer hacker) and that it isn’t clear at this point whether he’s playing a good guy or a villain. He will apparently feature during a casino sequence, where he’ll be dressed in “a white tuxedo-style jacket over a black suit”, described as “Indiana Jones’ white tuxedo from Temple of Doom but weirder and with a Star Wars twist.”
