Daniel Craig To Cameo 007 Times in Star Wars: The Force Awakens!
Simon Pegg spilled the beans in an interview to the Irish Examiner that Daniel Craig will be making an appearance as a stormtrooper in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The Faking sleuths decided to do some digging and it turns out that he’s got a lot more than 001 cameo in the film….hit the jump at lightspeed to find out more.
In a clever ruse between director JJ Abrams and Daniel Craig, the 007 actor will cameo exactly 007 times in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The superfan/actor is set to appear as a random stormtrooper as well as 006 other blink-and-you’ll-miss-them characters. Good thing, we’ve got the inside scoop on each and every one.
001 cameo: the stormtrooper that goes airborne in a TIE fighter hangar bay as seen in the most recent teaser trailer is none other than the stunt-happy Daniel Craig.
002 cameo: rear left hindquarters of this ManBearPig-like beast from Jakku is actually Daniel Craig. Little know fact: Craig is the first double-jointed double-oh-seven, so he’s more than comfortable operating in small dark places.
003 cameo: Daniel Craig sans makeup makes a surprise appearance as a middle-aged Sheev Palpatine in Act 3 of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
004 cameo: during a tense stand-off between Kylo Ren and the Vicar played by Max von Sydow, the elder statesman hightails it to his library on Jakku to escape the crazed Sith wannabe. The legs upon which Max von Sydow runs are actually those of Daniel Craig’s. The visual effects are said to be amazing and truly give the Vicar the appearance of a former bounty hunter with cybernetic legs. Craig’s legs don’t help the Vicar escape Kylo Ren for too long… but they do give him just enough time to send a very important distress signal to Han Solo.
005 cameo: Maz Kanata may be Queen Pirate on Jakku but every top banana needs a second-in-command, and that’s exactly where Daniel Craig comes into play. He’ll be seen as Spazmataz, a CG character that serves as Maz’s enforcer and occasional lover.
006 cameo: the bone collector seen for all of three seconds during a fly through of Jakku is also Daniel Craig. Inspired by their mutual love of Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs, JJ and Daniel decided to pay homage to the desert hair pick scene wherein stormtroopers declare “We ain’t found _hit!” In a slightly sick twist, however, Craig will yell out “I found some _hit!” and be seen holding a futuristic metal detector over the bones of the all-time most hated Star Wars character of all time: Jar Jar Binks.
007 cameo: a first for Daniel Craig, his last appearance in the film is as Patrice, a transgender Twi’lek who serves as Queen Leia’s personal handservant. Patrice’s duties involve carrying the queen’s flowing gown trains, applying hair and makeup befitting a queen, and a serious serving of sass to any of Leia’s detractors… Patrice has a heated exchange with Han Solo early in the film which resulted in severe stank eye that left Solo unfazed but weirded out Chewbacca.
P.S. This is something one of Jacen’s cousins sent him.
