Anthony Daniels as the random pilot or gunner that appears after destroying the supreme destroyer?
glad to see im not the only one who caught him, your the only person ive seen actually bring this one up;
I saw that as well. Was the only one in the theater that cheered him on.
Same here!
Yes! I immediately caught that and whispered it to my girlfriend. Actually, I think I said, “That was C3-PO” as she’s not a big enough fan to have known the name Anthony Daniels. I thought that little cameo was brilliant.
This comment could have been made by me 🤣🤣
Exactly what I said to my Wife for the same reason.
Sorry, that wasn’t Anthony Daniels. It was Denis Lawson, the actor for Wedge Antilles. They do look alike though
Yes it was Tony Daniels indeed as the Falcon’s gunner
*Denis Lawson
Pretty sure that was Dennis Lawson. They look pretty similar.
I saw the Ghost somewhere in the final battle. It was on the screen with two or three other ships and pulled up to the left. I think it was shortly after Palatine’s lightning blast.
Glad you said that dude,I thought it was him,I’ve just looking to see if it was,when I read your post,still need confirmation???
