With Star Wars: The Last Jedi multiple cameos within.
Last week, Baby Driver and Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright revealed himself and older brother Oscar came as members of the Resistance.
Wright has since posted an image featuring the pair, along with Attack the Block director Joe Cornish and Leo Thompson, wearing their costumes on a green screen set.
They aren't the only directors to appear in the blockbuster; Rogue One ’s Gareth Edwards appears prominently as a Resistance fighter on the planet Crait.
Other cameos include Carrie Fisher's beloved dog Gary as a casino-dwelling alien, Princes William and Harry, Tom Hardy and Gary Barlow as stormtroopers, and Mark Hamill as a second character.
Meanwhile, The Last Jedi has received somewhat of a backlash online, some fans finding issue with Rian Johnson’s movie and rating it negatively on Rotten Tomatoes.
