Meanwhile, British comedy actor Simon Pegg is actually part of the “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” film. His name, however, is not included in the roster of cast members of the movie. It was revealed during the behind-the-scenes footage of the upcoming seventh installment of the movie shown during the ComicCon 2015 that Simon Pegg will don an alien costume in the movie.
Despite being a popular movie actor by his own right, he still agreed to take on an entirely covered role, indicative of how big a fan he is of the franchise, notes Screen Crush.
As a fan of all the six films of the franchise, Simon Pegg actually ranked it from worst to the best according to the two trilogies of the past. In the second trilogy, Pegg ranked “Revenge of the Sith” first, followed by “The Phantom Menace,” and by “Attack of the Clones.”
For the original trilogy, the actor ranked “The Empire Strikes Back” as the best, followed by “Star Wars” before putting “Return of the Jedi” in third place, something that many fans of the franchise would not agree as it is considered by the majority as the best film in the entire series.
