Minor spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi below!

We have to hand it to Star Wars: The Last Jedi [2] — the movie really upped its game in terms of celebrity cameos this time around. There's one sequence in the film in particular that features a handful of eye-catching A-list characters, and it comes about halfway through The Last Jedi's two and a half hour runtime [3].

Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong'o) instructs dynamic duo Finn (John Boyega) and Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) [4] to find a master codebreaker (aka a "slicer") to help them take down one of the First Order's ships. When they finally do find the slicer in a Canto Bight casino, he's played by a mustachioed Justin Theroux [5]. That same scene also features a small (and adorable) cameo from Carrie Fisher's dog, Gary Fisher [6], who's CGI'd to look like an alien.

On top of those surprise appearances, Canto Bight is also the place where we meet a character named Slowen-Lo, voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Gordon-Levitt has appeared in all of director Rian Johnson's previous films thus far, starring in Brick and Looper and nabbing a small cameo in his 2008 film The Brothers Bloom. Although there's not much out there about Slowen-Lo, we do know that the creature's name is a nod to Beastie Boys song "Slow and Low." There are two other characters in Star Wars that hold a similar distinction: TFA fighter pilot Ello Asty is a nod to "Hello Nasty" and Jakku resident Ilco Munica is a play on "Ill Communication."

Although we initially had a feeling Slowen-Lo was the small, goblin-esque creature that accosts BB-8 in the casino (that's actually Mark Hamill [8]), it turns out JGL's character pops up elsewhere. He's the rust-colored alien who tells Canto Bight police about Finn and Rose's ship on the beach, as you can see in the trading card above. According to Star Wars: The Last Jedi — The Visual Dictionary [9], a recently released book to accompany the film, "Canto Bight local Slowen Lo has made a fortune selling driftwood sculptures, and now owns a beachside residence."

We're sure the Star Wars fanboy [10] was thrilled to be a part of Johnson's masterpiece.
