Mark Hamill’s secret second role in The Last Jedi

WE ALL know Mark Hamill plays Luke Skywalker in the new Star Wars movie — but nobody’s noticed his other role.

STAR Wars fans have been left scratching their heads after spotting that Mark Hamill had a second role in The Last Jedi.

Eagle-eyed cinemagoers have spotted that Mark’s name appears twice in the end credits of the movie, once for playing Luke Skywalker and again under the name of a new character.

Mark is also said to have taken on the role of Dobbu Scay, although fans are perplexed as to who — or what — that actually is.

According to The Daily Dot, Dobbu Scay appears somewhere in Canto Bight, a casino visited by Finn and Rose during the movie.

But as the whole sequence features both human and alien characters, fans are yet to pinpoint exactly where Mark’s secret cameo comes.

One Star Wars fan tweeted: “As the credits roll for #TheLastJedi, note the extra roll [sic] credited to Mark Hamill as ‘Dobbu Scay’.

“Haven’t found the significance/ meaning yet.”

Another asked: “In The Last Jedi, does anyone know who the other character Mark Hamill @HamillHimself is listed as in the credits (Dobbu Scay)?

“My guess is alien voice work, but I’m not sure.”

Along with the voice of an alien, other Star Wars fans have wondered if ‘Dobbu Scay’ is the Canto Bight patron who is seen trying to place coins into BB-8, thinking the droid is a slot machine.

One desperate fan said: “Going into viewing number 6 of #thelastjedi so I’m begging @pablohidalgo or @rianjohnson to tell me the name of the Canto Bight patron who plays BB-8 like a slot machine.

“Inquiring minds want, nay, NEED to know.”

One thing that HAS been worked out, however, is that Dobby Scay is an anagram of Bob Duscay, which is the name of the man who edited The Last Jedi.
