Mark Hamill plays Luke Skywalker, whom Rey finds on the island of Ahch-To and who at first refuses her request to join the fight. Disney named Hamill among the returning cast from The Force Awakens when principal photography began on February 15, 2016. The TMDB credits also list him in a second, smaller part as the voice of Dobbu Scay.
Carrie Fisher plays Leia Organa, whose Resistance is forced to abandon its base as the First Order closes in. Filming wrapped on July 22, 2016, months before Fisher died in December 2016, and the film is dedicated to her. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed in April 2017 that filming on The Last Jedi was complete.
Adam Driver plays Kylo Ren, who is described in the official Star Wars databank as the apprentice of Supreme Leader Snoke. Driver was named among the returning cast from The Force Awakens in Disney's announcement of February 15, 2016, the same day that principal photography began at Pinewood Studios in London under Rian Johnson.
Daisy Ridley plays Rey, who has tracked down Luke Skywalker on Ahch-To and asks him to join the fight against the First Order. Ridley was confirmed among the returning cast on February 15, 2016, and much of her story plays out away from the fleeing Resistance fleet, in scenes shared with Mark Hamill.
John Boyega plays Finn and is billed fifth in the TMDB credits, behind Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley. Boyega was one of the eleven actors from The Force Awakens that Disney named as returning cast on February 15, 2016, a list that TheWrap and Fox News both reported that day.
Oscar Isaac plays Poe Dameron, who disobeys orders for a costly attack on a huge First Order warship early in the film. Isaac was confirmed among the returning cast when Disney announced the start of principal photography on February 15, 2016, and his story runs through the flight of the Resistance fleet under Vice Admiral Holdo.
Andy Serkis plays Snoke, whom the official Star Wars databank describes as the Supreme Leader of the First Order and the master who turned Ben Solo into Kylo Ren. Serkis was named among the returning cast from The Force Awakens on February 15, 2016, alongside Domhnall Gleeson and Gwendoline Christie.
Lupita Nyong'o plays Maz Kanata, a character carried over from The Force Awakens. Disney named Nyong'o among the eleven returning actors when principal photography began at Pinewood Studios in London on February 15, 2016, and her credit sits eighth in the TMDB billing, just ahead of Domhnall Gleeson and Anthony Daniels.
Domhnall Gleeson plays General Hux, a First Order officer who, according to the official Star Wars databank, promised Snoke that his researchers had found a way to track ships through hyperspace. That tracking drives the renewed attack on the Resistance fleet in the film's setup. Gleeson was confirmed among the returning cast on February 15, 2016.
Anthony Daniels plays C-3PO and is billed tenth in the TMDB credits. Disney included him in the returning cast it announced on February 15, 2016. The credits also list R2-D2, played by Jimmy Vee, and BB-8, which is credited to both Brian Herring and Dave Chapman.
Gwendoline Christie plays Captain Phasma of the First Order. Christie returned from The Force Awakens and was confirmed in Disney's announcement of February 15, 2016. Phasma is one of several First Order officers in the credits, a list that also includes Adrian Edmondson as Captain Peavey and Mark Lewis Jones as Captain Canady.
Kelly Marie Tran plays Rose Tico, and Veronica Ngô is credited as Paige Tico. ET reported that Rian Johnson offered Tran the role in person in late November 2015, during a lunch break from her day job. Tran told ET that she read The Last Jedi before The Force Awakens came out, and that she did not see the Star Wars films until she was cast. Disney announced her as a newcomer on February 15, 2016.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), directed by Rian Johnson, was cast around the ensemble from The Force Awakens, with three new names added. Disney announced the line up on February 15, 2016, the day principal photography began at Pinewood Studios in London. Fox News reported that Johnson had written the screenplay and had taken over directing duties from J.J. Abrams.
The new arrivals were Laura Dern, Benicio del Toro and Kelly Marie Tran. TheWrap noted that it had first reported del Toro's involvement the previous August, before Disney confirmed it, while Tran was introduced as a newcomer. ET reported that Johnson offered Tran the part in person in late November 2015, about a month before The Force Awakens reached theaters (so Rose Tico was cast before audiences had seen the film she was joining).
Filming ran under the working title Space Bear and wrapped on July 22, 2016. For the plot, release details and ending, the guide to the last jedi covers the film beyond its credits.
Eleven actors from The Force Awakens were named as returning cast when production began: Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie and Andy Serkis. The TMDB credits fill in the familiar characters that the announcement did not list, including Frank Oz as the voice of Yoda, Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca and Jimmy Vee as R2-D2.
Of the new arrivals, Laura Dern plays Vice Admiral Holdo, who takes command of the dwindling Resistance fleet as it runs short of fuel, while Benicio del Toro plays DJ and Kelly Marie Tran plays Rose Tico. Further down the billing, Billie Lourd is credited as Lieutenant Connix and Justin Theroux as Master Codebreaker.
