The First Order will have new AT-AT-style walkers in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" and they're called the "First Order Heavy Assault Walkers." But that's not the only thing that's new as Gary Barlow of the group Take That will be appearing in the movie.
In an interview with ITV, Barlow confirmed that he will cameoing in the "Star Wars Episode VIII" movie. He didn't say, though, what role he will be playing. But he did reveal that it won't be a Stormtrooper.
"I'm not a stormtrooper, but I am in it," Barlow said. He even joked that him revealing he'll be part of it means that he has just done himself "out of a role."
"I think the Star Wars people are so strict about what information [is out there]," he said. The bosses of Star Wars did confirm Barlow's appearance in the movie. But aside from Barlow's appearance, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" will also be having the new "First Order Heavy Assault Walkers" to take on the resistance.
Making Star Wars reports that the new AT-AT walkers will not be the same that was seen at the Starkiller Base in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." These AT-AT walkers "are huge and chunky" and could be even called "super walkers."
The report said that the some of the people in the production has informally called these walkers "Gorilla Walkers," because they resemble a gorilla if you look at them from the front. The walkers have huge legs that resemble a gorilla's arms.
The body of the walker itself has a gorilla-like posture plus the sketch of the head also shows it has a gorilla-like face. The new walkers in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" is also said to be faster than previous generation walkers.
This new walker seems like bad news for the resistance, not only do they have to deal with something bigger and bulkier but probably faster as well. Check out more news about "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," which is scheduled for December 15, 2017 release.
