Aniston has an incredibly close and intimate link to the upcoming eighth movie in the famous franchise. And no, it’s not just any old ‘Friend’ of hers who is starring in The Last Jedi.
The latest leak from the film set has revealed that this major US film star has a “pivotal” role in the scenes being shot in Dubrovnic on what has been dubbed a “casino planet.”
This is where many believe that Poe will be sent on a secret mission and where we are expecting to see Laura Dern’s mysterious character.
So, who will be there for you – and the rest of the Rebel Alliance – when the rain starts to pour?
Sources are reporting that Aniston’s husband Justin Theroux will be appearing in The Last Jedi. The television and film star will be “playing a slicer.”
Star Wars experts will already know that this is a galactic type of hacker, someone who “slices” into ecrypted computer systems, usually illegally or covertly.
The folk at Making Star Wars have leaked some juicy information about this character’s actions and costume which shines more light on what has been filmed in Dubrovnic and on interior sets at Pinewoodand may explain what Leia and Poe are up to in the next film.
FIRST LOOK AT STAR WARS LAND BEING BUILT NEXT:
Making Star Wars said: ” Theroux’s character wears a white tuxedo style jacket over a black suit. His sequences fit into the casino section of the film where we saw Dubrovnik exteriors shot last year.
“We have heard there was an explosion during a sequence shot on the “casino” set at Pinewood and perhaps Justin Theroux plays a part in that? It isn’t immediately clear if he’s a good guy or a villain but he is dressed rather well to say the least.”
The casino planet is believed to be where Poe is sent to negociate with one of Leia’s political rivals, played by Laura Dern.
The fact that there is now slicer involved with a “pivotal” role implies that Poe may be seeking to steal information. However, Count Dooku also used a slicer in the past to hack into the Republic’s mainframe and broadcast propaganda messages, so this could also imply a storyline where Leia is trying to warn and rally the galaxy against Snoke, against the wishes of others.
As always, unless we find a hacker of our own, we will have to wait a few more months untiul we find out.
Star Wars The Last Jedi is out on December 15.
