Popular Post Thor 8,078 Posted January 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2018 Biggest wasted opportunity to have a JW cameo in a film was the Carnegie Hall sequence in HOME ALONE 2. He would have been perfect as the conductor here, like Howard Shore in KING KONG or Lalo Schifrin in RED DRAGON. But at least we still have this ancient cameo on STACCATO, in the episode "The Naked Truth" (aired September 10, 1959). A 27-year-old Williams is the one who takes over the piano from Cassavettes as 0:13: rpvee, Obi, James and 11 others 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,778 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 It's possible that he just doesn't want to be onscreen. Given the way they've handed cameos out like candy, I'm sure Williams would be in one of these things if he wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,781 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Yeah, that's likely, but people can change. He seems more playful now in his mature age. He even uses Skype, Goddammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 4,401 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 As much as I would find it fitting for him to have a cameo, Williams hasn't been particularly fond of Star Wars (i.e. the movies) for him to want to appear in them. He famously never watched any of them outside of the scoring stage, and has openly described them as "weekend spaceship shows for kids." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUlyssesian 2,538 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Ep 9 will include a scene where Rey heads to a remote planet on her adventures and beds a hot hunk who she meets in a random bar.
