Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which recently crossed a billion at the global box office, featured a ton of fun cameos - from Jodie Comer as Rey’s mother to composer John Williams as Kijimi bartender Oma Tres. We also know that singer Ed Sheeran, who previously guested on Game of Thrones as a Lannister soldier and played a role on FX's The Bastard Executioner, was in the film, with most assuming he played a Stormtrooper because he was seen wearing Stormtrooper armor in a Special Look video that was released back in November before the film's release. Oh My Disney has a different scoop about Sheeran's role in Episode IX however. After listing several Skywalker cameos and Easter eggs here, they put forth that this was Sheeran... Pictured above is an unnamed Resistance alien. The only accompanying write up for the Sheeran entry is "We’re in love with the shape of you, Ed Sheeran alien." So was this a goof? Probably not since the Easter egg piece was shared by the official Star Wars Twitter account. Regardless, you can't see his face, so it wouldn't make a difference if he was under a Stormtrooper helmet or hiding under alien prosthetics. We also don't know who Matt Smith played. Or if Harry Styles was also hiding in plain site inside some armor or alien get up either. Disney has carved out release dates for three new Star Wars movies after The Rise of Skywalker. The first of these was to have been the first Weiss and Benioff film, coming on December 16, 2022. The other two dates are December 20, 2024, and December 18, 2026, though it's not clear if those dates belonged to the other Beinoff and Weiss movies or Rian Johnson's films or possibly a combination of both.
