Eddie Hitler in space? Not something we saw coming, if we’re honest.
According to reports the ‘Bottom’ and 'Young Ones’ legend Ade Edmondson has snared himself a role in 'Star Wars VIII’.

The movie, being directed by Rian Johnson, is being filmed in various locations around the world as we speak.
A source told The Sun: “Ade is one of the most-loved comedy stars in the UK but even he would admit Star Wars is a surprise move for him.
“While JJ Abrams isn’t directing, he is still heavily involved and he is really keen on British talent.
“Ade is starting to go back to his acting roots after doing a lot of reality TV recently and this is a huge deal for him.
“His character is top secret, like everything else to do with the film and its plot.
“But given his old comedy characters, it would make sense for them to give him an eccentric part.”
Whether Ade’s part would be a featured role, or a walk-on type deal in heavy disguise is not known, and his reps have refused to comment on the matter.
He would join a number of famous names to have appeared in the new rebooted Star Wars universe.
Simon Pegg played salvage dealer Unkar Plutt in ‘The Force Awakens’, directed by his chum Abrams, while Daniel Craig donned the iconic white armour to play a stormtrooper.
