LIKE Luke Skywalker dangling from the ledge in Cloud City, Star Wars fans should prepare themselves for an epic cliffhanger in next year’s sequel to The Force Awakens.
Star Wars veteran Warwick Davis, who had his breakout film role alongside Carrie Fisher in 1983’s Return of the Jedi as Wicket the Ewok, has confirmed he will appear in the as-yet-untitled sequel, directed by Rian Johnson.
The legendary British actor and comedian has appeared in three Star Wars films so far — Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace and The Force Awakens — and is set to also appear in this year’s first spin-off entry, Rogue One.
He played Professor Filius and Griphook in the Harry Potter films, and starred as a fictionalised version of himself in the sitcom Life’s Too Short, written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
For many who grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s, however, Davis is probably best known for his starring role as the title character in Willow, the 1988 fantasy film written by George Lucas and directed by Ron Howard.
Speaking to news.com.au from the UK, Davis talked Star Wars, ‘80s nostalgia, and why the time is right for a long-awaited Willow sequel.
