Speaking on the Graham Norton Show, the Take That singer explained that he went to see the movie on two occasions, and still nada.

Barlow reportedly played a Resistance fighter in the climactic battle on mineral planet Crait, in news relayed by Star Wars prequel Rogue One’s director Gareth Edwards (who also appeared in the scene, which was filmed during Rogue One production).
