Benicio del Toro Confirms He’ll Be in ‘Star Wars’

There have been plenty of rumors that Benicio del Toro would be a cast member in one of the upcoming Star Wars movies, but they are rumors no longer because the man confirmed it himself, on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

When Fallon said, “There’s a rumor floating around,” del Toro said, “Right. I will be part of the film, yeah,” to a cheering crowd. While he might not have been particularly loquacious about the matter on Fallon, he did talk about it a little more on Entertainment Tonight: Canada, saying, “My conversations with the director are kind of, at this point, very private … I remember exactly where I was when I saw the first one. I was really moved by the first one. It was part of my growing up.”
