Boyega said: “I’ve had enough with those secrets. They came on set. They were there. I’m sick of hiding it. I think it was leaked, anyway. There were images.
“Every time I get asked, I have to dodge it. I’m tired of dodging it. They were there.”
But who was he talking about and what roles were they playing.
Gary Barlow has already spilled his own Star Wars appearance, but two of these will be the ‘crowning’ glory of Star Wars cameos while the third is also rumoured to be next in line to have a Licence to Thrill…
WARNING – POTENTIAL SPOILERS
Boyega was being interviewd by BBC Radio 4.
He was asked about the sightings of Princes Harry and William on the set at Pinewood earlier this year when he boldly confirmed that they would be in The Last Jedi.
The royals are rumoured to be moonlighting as Stormtroopers, although a previous leak claimed they would be in a lift with Finn, Rey and Benicio del Toro’s DJ after teh heroes infiltrate a secret enemy base.
Since fans now know that it is Finn and Rose (not Rey) who go undercover on a First Order ship, the princes’ roles still remain to be seen.
However a new Star Wars image did tease a scene with Rose, Finn and Rey battling their way to attack Snoke in his throne room on his Mega Star Destroyer.
Boyega refused to be drawn any further about scene details but he shot down any reports that the royal pair had speaking parts.
He added: “I think they took that scene out.”
One previous cameo with actual lines in the movie was James Bond star Daniel Craig. He played the First Order trooper who is supposed to guard Rey and was cleverly credited in the film as JB-OO7.
Boyega happily confirmed that another Bond hopeful is also definitely in Episode 8.
After confirming the rumours about Princes Harry and William he added: “They were there. So was Tom Hardy.”
Reports leaked last year that Hardy woudl be playing a First Order former colleague of Finn. According to the leaks, his characterw ill spot Finn inhis stolen officer’s uniform and pat him on the bottom before complimenting him on his apparent promotion.
After Craig announced he was only returning for one more Bond film, Hardy is now the hot favourite to take over as OO7.
STAR WARS THE LAST JEDI IS OUT ON DECEMBER 14.
