Warwick Davis made a very brief cameo in The Rise of Skywalker, once again donning the visage of galactic champion Wicket W. Warrick. (Warwick's real-life son played the other Ewok.)

But Lucasfilm creature concept artist Jake Lunt Davies shared a behind-the-scenes process photo of the re-fabricated Wicket costume, before all the fur was added back to that badass indigenous teddy bear … and it is fucking horrifying.
