Dominic Monaghan is no stranger to epic stories on the big screen, having appeared in all three Lord of the RingsĀ movies, and heās no stranger to J.J. Abrams, either, having appeared in the series LOST. So perhaps it was inevitable that he would appear in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
The first glimpse of Monaghanās character came from a set of images featuring Rise of Skywalkercharacter standees. Monaghanās character appeared alongside other heroes of the Resistance, including Kelly Marie Tranās Rose Tico and Oscar Isaacās Poe Dameron.
At this point itās unclear how large a role Monaghanās character will play, or even the characterās name. He is depicted in the fatigues favored by the fighters of the Resistance, clutching a blaster rifle and wearing a holstered sidearm. Beyond a sense of style that includes some very stylish brown leather boots, there isnāt much more that has been revealed about the character.
Despite the limited information about the character, the first appearance of Monaghan in his Star WarsĀ costume has been warmly embraced on the internet, where Driveshaft devotees and Brandybuck buffs alike have come together to ogle the first images of the Resistanceās newest recruit and marvel at his fresh and fashionable uniform.
Abrams has a reputation for working with familiar actors. The previous Star Wars movie he directed,The Force Awakens, featured Abrams fixtures like Greg GrunbergĀ and Ken Leung, who both had roles alongside Monaghan on LOST.
Will Monaghanās character join the headlining heroes as they face off against the ultimate archetypical evil, or will a time-traveling Scotsman advise him to stay behind at the Resistance base and clean the astromechs? Weāll find out when Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is released in theaters on December 20th, 2019.
