ROSE, who played Admiral Ackbar in Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983), reprises his role for the highly anticipated seventh movie but can reveal very little about his character or the film.
"I'm very frustrated by that," Rose told AAP in Sydney. Secrecy surrounding the movie is at an all-time high and Rose said this makes it harder for him to do his job. "Out of the need to be secret, we're not actually able to get everything we need to do our jobs as well as we could," he said. "And as someone who has been doing it for 35 years, I find it very frustrating."
With the return of Jedi writer Lawrence Kasdan (alongside JJ Abrams) and original cast members including Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill, expectations for a return to form with this new film are high. "What I can say about the new movie is that if you were a fan of the original three, you're going to absolutely love this one to bits," Rose said. And if Rose's very veiled hints are anything to go by, there will be more original players returning to the franchise. "You can expect a smorgasbord of people you love," he said.
