Warwick Davis indicated on Twitter this morning that he is at Pinewood Studios doing some kind of work for the series.
He said: “Happy #StarWarsDay! May the 4th be with you! Today, I have the privilege of actually being in that galaxy far, far away at Pinewood Studios.”
Given that The Last Jedi was thought to be all wrapped-up in terms of its filming, could it be last-minute reshoots or post-production-related work? Or even something related to the marketing campaign? Sadly the 47-year-old remained tight-lipped.
Or is it not related to that movie at all – Episode IX is not thought to be under way until July, but it’s not an impossibility.
He may even be working on the Han Solo spin-off, although his involvement in it has not been announced.
One thing it’s unlikely to be is Star Wars: Rebels, in which he voices Rukh.
Yesterday the popular actor confirmed he was finishing up work on the animation, tweeting: “Recorded my final lines as #Rukh for #StarWarsRebels with the irrepressibly brilliant #StarWars guru @dave_filoni. Cheers sir! #RemoteSelfie.”
Davis also marked May the Fourth by sharing a snap of his younger self on the set of Return of the Jedi way back in 1982.
He captioned it: “A historic #StarWars photo from ’82… me on the set of #ReturnOfTheJedi amongst the Redwoods of Northern California. #MayTheFourthBeWithYou.”
Several Star Wars stars have been celebrating the would-be-holiday: Mark Hamill, famous for portraying Luke Skywalker, was just one of them.
He posted: “FUN FACT-#MayThe4thBeWithYouDay is also the day: MAGGIE THATCHER became 1st female UK/PM- AL CAPONE went to jail & WILL ARNETT was born!”
Woody Harrelson, who has a key role in the young Han Solo film, was on Good Morning Britain today to talk about another project – and was of course probed on his work in a galaxy far, far away.
He teased that his character, Beckett, is a “mentor to Han and a criminal in my own right”, but said when pushed further: “I can’t say a word.”
