In the new Star Wars movie, the stormtrooper named
FN-2199, also affectionately known as TR-8R, became a surprise hit character and set off countless memes after a scene where he whips out a Z6 baton and declares Finn a traitor. Initially, an unknown English actor named
Alex Rolt took credit for the role, claiming to have been chosen due to his background in fencing. However, Lucasfilm later revealed it was actually stuntman
Liang Yang inside the costume, with voice-overs provided by a sound editor from Skywalker Sound named David Acord. Rolt, who had taken credit for Yang and Acord's work, did appear in the film as a background extra.
