Ooops. Mark Hamill has been great at keeping Star Wars secrets under wraps since 1977. So it’s a surprise to learn he slipped up and revealed a potential spoiler for the upcoming young Han movie, Solo: A Star Wars Story. [pullquote]But — this being Star Wars after all — it could be a misdirection (from a certain point of view).[/pullquote]
Mild (possible) spoiler follows:
In an interview with the Washington Post yesterday, Hamill casually mentioned how excited C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels is for appearing in every Star Wars film. He’s the only actor in the saga who can actually say that…at least thus far. He even had a cameo in Rogue One. (While R2 was also in every film, that’s a character, not an actor. )

At this point we simply don’t know if C-3PO will be in the next film. We do know he’s working for the Rebellion around now, so he’s out there, at large in the galaxy. But why would he appear in Han Solo’s early years? Solo’s world is about smuggling and other criminal activity. I can’t imagine a good reason for Threepio to be lurking about, unless the Rebellion needs something clandestine done, and sends the droid in to set up a contact. (Actually, that could work.)
[pullquote position=”right”]But it could just be a fanservice cameo, like his appearance in Rogue One, a one-shot purely for fun instead of furthering the story.[/pullquote]Or Daniels could appear as some other character. It’s not like we know his face very well. He could be a human, or buried under alien makeup. It could end up like “Where’s Waldo?” — a sort of “Spot the Cameo” game.
Or, this could just be a rumor. Hamill can be a rascal these days; the guy is really funny. Maybe he has a bet going with Daniels. Who knows? It’s not a huge spoiler if it’s true, so we can forgive this slip. (These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.)
But….now that I’m thinking about it, there IS someone who could make a legit appearance somewhere. Darth Vader. And Han could end up doing a job for him…
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
