I feel like everyone in Hollywood must have been a stormtrooper in The Force Awakens. Or done some kind of voice. Or been in it somehow, because seriously new names keep coming out all the time! In today’s Surprise Force Awakens cameo news, Kevin Smith was apparently one of the lucky people who got to voice a stormtrooper.
We already knew about Daniel Craig, but over at StarWars.com, supervising sound editor for The Force Awakens, Matthew Wood, gave an entire run-down of which voices belonged to which voice performers in that long list at the end of the film of “Additional Voices.” One of them was Kevin Smith, who voiced a stormtrooper in the scene at Maz Kanata’s Castle saying, “We have incoming at 28.6! Move!” as the Resistance fighters arrived.
There are also plenty of Star Wars franchise veterans who did voices for the film, including Sam Witwer (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Battlefront), Matt Lanter (The Clone Wars), Fred Tatasciore (The Clone Wars), Dee Bradley Baker (The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels) and Catherine Taber (The Clone Wars). However, as extensive as the list Wood provides is, he’s still not giving up all the celebrity cameos saying, “There are also a couple of actor cameos in there that shall remain nameless (for now).”
Fine. I see how it is.
Any of you out there have ears that are better attuned than mine? Could any of you pick out any familiar voices in the film that aren’t mentioned in Wood’s list? Let’s try to figure this out, gang!
