‘These are the royals you’re looking for’: William and Harry play Stormtroopers in ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’

A big Star Wars secret is out and actor John Boyega has spilt it: Prince William and Prince Harry will appear in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which opens on December 15, but you will not know it because they are playing First Order Stormtroopers in signature face-obscuring helmets.

Spoiler alert: pay attention to any scene in an lift.

Boyega, who plays reformed Stormtrooper Finn in the film, said he shared a scene with the royal pair “wrapped in Stormtroopers costumes”, during the taping of an interview for The Hollywood Reporter.

THR also reported on Friday that Will, Harry, British actor Tom Hardy and singer Gary Barlow appear together as Stormtroopers in the same scene, guarding Boyega’s character in an lift, “surely making it Star Wars’ most secretly star-studded sequence of all time”.

Boyega joked that sharing a scene with this posse – Hardy and Barlow are friends of the princes – made for a “strange contrast of a weird family.”
