There have been many famous actors starring in Star Wars over the years but some are certainly more surprising than others.
Anybody who was brought up on a diet of Panda Pops and Grange Hill will have jumped for joy when headmaster Maurice Bronson (Michael Sheard) turned up in A New Hope and since then there have been some brilliant A-List celebs that have made an appearance - sometimes under some very heavy prosthesis.
Here we chart the 10 people you (probably) didn’t know starred in Star Wars. Oh, and if you did know that these people were in the movies then you are awarded a lovely invisible ‘well done’ sticker - something you instantly lose if you come moaning to us that you already know these people were in the Star Wars movies.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
