Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice him.

Carrie Fisher’s much-loved dog Gary will have a cameo in the upcoming movie, Star Wars: The Last Jedi.  The late actress’ beloved French Bulldog was frequently seen at her side - both on-set and at film premieres - before her untimely death in 2016. And now it turns out that he’s become a four-legged film star in his own right. Eagled-eyed fans first spotted what they reckoned was Gary in the background of a Last Jedi movie still obtained by Empire Magazine. The photo shows Finn (John Boyega) and Rose (Kelly Marie Tran) seemingly having some kind of tense exchange of words. https://twitter.com/irishgeekgirl/status/938303373161517056 But in the background, an adorable little critter can be seen watching on in the arms of another other-worldly looking character. One fan asked the film’s director Rian Johnson if the photo meant that Gary would have a cameo in the upcoming instalment of the franchise. Clair Henry asked:

“We @FanthaTracks want to know if you can confirm this cute little creature is #spacegary in #TheLastJedi”

“YES! Wow, good eyes.”

Gary, the late actress’ therapy dog, now lives with Carrie’s assistant, Corby McCoin, who runs his social media accounts. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is out in Irish cinemas on December 14.
