The Rise Of Skywalker May Have Three Celebrity Stormtrooper Cameos

We know that the Stormtrooper was manipulated by Rey in The Awakens Force was James Bond actor Daniel Craig. We also know that Tom Hardy played a First Order Stormtrooper that has an interaction with Finn, but that scene was left on the floor. Now we're getting rumors that The Rise of Skywalker Making Star Wars has received word from a trusted source that Ed Sheeran (singer) will have a cameo and leader Jamie Oliver. Neither of those is really that big of a deal for fans. I am sure they are close to J.J. Abrams or perhaps life long fans of Star Wars but their connection to geekdom is not so great. The third trooper is said to be Stephen Colbert.

Colbert is a favorite fan of his time on The Daly Show and The Colbert Report and is known to be big geek. Him putting on the armor must be a long life dream come true. I wonder if it's akin to Simon Pegg being the alien junker in The Force Awakens .

I do think it's cool, and agree with MSW that we get these cameos without them being detracting. It's a great way to give a celebrity fans a chance to be a part of the galaxy far, far away without making a big deal about it on screen.

What do you think about this rumor? Which of the three names are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments below!
