Davis hasn’t disclosed much about his character, but he appears to be an alien Rebel fighter who’s handy with a blaster. He doesn’t seem to be a major character in the movie, but no doubt this guy will get a full name and elaborate backstory somewhere down the line, all the better to promote his inevitable tie-in action figures. And we’d put money on his name starting with a W.
Davis, who is also known for his roles inWillowand theHarry Potterseries, began his acting career playing Wicket inReturn of the Jediwhen he was just an adolescent. He returned to the franchise inStar Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace, playing Wald and Weazel and, in some scenes, Yoda. Davis rejoined the franchise forStar Wars: The Force Awakensto play Wollivan, seen in Maz’s castle. He is also confirmed to appear inStar Wars: Episode VIII, although it is not clear yet whether he’ll be playing a brand-new character or returning to one he’s portrayed before.
