More Details on Miltos Yerolemou’s Character from The Force Awakens

yerolemou.560_cmc_5983Back in April actor Miltos Yerolemou, who played sword-master supreme Syrio Forel in Game of Thrones, dropped a big hint regarding his role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Now some more clues were uncovered giving us more details on his character in the movie…

 

 

 

POTENTIAL SPOILERS

 

 

So back in April, in an interview Yerolemou unintentionally or not revealed that he is playing an alien in The Force Awakens. He also confirmed that he didn’t take part in the desert location shoot at Abu Dhabi.

 

The latest clues about his character come from BBC reporter Lizo Mzimba who noticed that the actor had updated his Spotlight page, with a brief description of his character.

 

Miltos

As you can see Yerolemou is playing an “H.M. Patron” in the movie. We believe that H.M. stands for “Hall of Mirrors”. This is a production name that we’ve heard before. First we thought it was a production name of a ship, but later MakingStarWars uncovered that it’s connected with Maz Kanata’s place.

 

You probably remember that in the past, one of our sources was describing a scene taking place in some kind of Cantina (HERE). Our best guess is that this Cantina is the “Hall of Mirrors” and Yerolemou’s character is playing a patron in this place.

 

Could he be one of the aliens shown at the Maz Kanata’s palace?

 

Aliens

It’s possible. Still, we have to remember that the actor is very skillful with the sword, so he will probably be involved in some kind of an action sequence.

 

Another interesting find by Lizo Mzimba is the fact that actor Jack Robinson is playing a barman in a “huge film franchise with the production title AVCO, shot in Pinewood, UK”. So we’re definitely getting a new Cantina scene. 🙂

    Well, if my old rusty Bat-computer is correct, maybe this is the work of The Riddler!!!

    Theres a character called Snoke? Hall of Mirrors?
    Asin Smoke and Mirrors? could this be JJ trying to throw us off the scent of something far bigger?
    Holy deceipt Robin!!

    Judging by the recent Simon Pegg photo, guessing his character is that alien second on the right, next to the creature in red.

      Simon Pegg’s character is on Jakku. That picture above is with creatures at Maz Kanata’s castle, shot at Puzzlewood.

      Watch the Comic-Con Reel. It shows that character unmasked – not Pegg.

        Or is it? The character in question has a peg(g) leg. Interesting.

          It’s not Pegg. As already said, that character was seen unmasked (and limping, thanks to the peg leg) in the BTS video.

            I believe Pegg’s charachter is the alien standing right behing this one… Similar skin, and really looks like Simon’s costume…

            Simon’s character is on a different planet.

            I think Pegg plays that new Creature who has model Cara Develigne on his arm (it could just be a Cara look-a-like though). Could that guy be the new Jabba and be chasing Solo on Jakku?

      The guy in the red outfit could be Miltos. In the SDCC footage his mask actually makes sounds, so it’s probable that he has a moment and isn’t just an extra.

      His/Her Majesty Patron? Unless he’s the new Queen of Naboo’s toyboy I have a feeling probably not…

    That red clothed character is who I am leaning towards him playing.

    Just noticed the black storm trooper helmet in the back in the right. Aurabesh written on him spells out “FEAR”.

    Wasn’t “Haunted Mansion” also a production name from a while back?

    Has anyone noticed the last line in that screen shot? It reads: Feature Film, H.M Parton, STAR WARS – EPISODE VI. So will we be seeing a familiar setting from Return of the Jedi?

    I see the first entry says Episode VII, but why is the bottom entry for Episode VI there?

      Probably a typo (unless if JJ is doing his own “specialized” edition of the OT) (just kidding)

      JJ has announced plans to do a ‘Special’ Special Edition for the OT where they add in more practical effects.

      It actually says V1, not VI. But yeah, confusing.

    Of course there will be a cantina scene, JJ Abrams is unoriginal and will just stick the OT in a blender and make a smoothie out of it.

      Damn right. He’s so f***ing lazy and unoriginal, they’re literally going to rehash the part where an alien gives them crap and then loses an arm, too.

        So what?!

        Episode 2 had a cantina/bar scene where Obi-Wan cut off an alien’s hand.

        And no one complained about that scene.

        Grow up a little and quit complaining like a teenager.

      Yeah because I’m sure there is only one watering hole in the galaxy.

      We can’t call it a rehash until we have seen it. There is a bar scene in AOTC as well and that bore little resemblance to the cantina.

    Keep in mind when looking for his character in pictures that he is 5’3 1/2″ (1.61m) and isn’t thin. He is definitely not the red guy.

    Here is a video of him doing some sword “training” at a con. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUBEMHJF4u8

    I definitely think the character with the peg leg is Simon Pegg! Compare the costume to the one recently posted of Pegg!

    In the very back of the center piece (dark corridor) it looks like another Darth Maul-like character?

    At the bottom of the right piece (left bottom) why does the character male warrior look like a young Obi-Wan (Ewan McGreggor) Clone? I know the Kamino Cloners might be up to something if J.J. Abrams acknowledges some prequel interests!?

    It’s cool to see Joan Rivers’ character from Space Balls make a cameo. Hopefully we’ll see the “VIRGIN ALRERT” with Finn and Rey.

    The red guy looks like he’d be in ” A league of extraordinary gentlemen.” The black dog creature looks like a fugitive from an ” Alien” film. The old man center back in blue looks like a senator from Naboo. All these aliens are lame and not Star Wars-like. I fear the script for this scene will be as bland as their characters. When JJ was overly excited to show the practical effect bird and birdcage creature and soccer droid, this movie might be a bit over-hyped.

      a) a galaxy is a big place
      b) a “senator from Naboo” would be a Star Wars character

        A senator from Naboo…in a disgruntled cantina far from his home planet? I don’t think so. Not a believable scenario.

          I don’t think you’re giving enough credit where credit is due.

          Taking on a film like this from any director is a huge undertaking, and for the most part it seems like Abrams and co. have nailed the aesthetics of Star Wars pretty well.

          I’m sure you wouldn’t want a room filled with the same exact creatures/aliens seen in the cantina on Tatooine plus this a whole new planet and these are pirates.
          It’s okay to be cynical because a lot people are like that. But, don’t let cynicism get to you and make you judge things as being negative too quickly before even seeing the movie.

          Also, it’s incredibly difficult to come up with new creatures that look and feel like they’d be in the Star Wars universe. Nothing is truly original these days.

      This picture is fun and exciting. I am pleased with the look and feel – really captures the underbelly of the Star Wars universe IMO. Even reminds me of Jabba’s Palace. Oh, and Senator Palpatine made his way around the galaxy doing political dealings for Darth Plagueis. Believe it – it’s fiction after all.

      The movie *is* overhyped, just like TPM was, back in ’98/99. That was to be expected. It is Star Wars, after all.

      The question is how good it’ll be. Based on what I’ve seen so far, it definitely looks like Abrams is focused on giving OT-lovers/PT-haters a nostalgia fest, filled with tips of the hat to the OT.

      Good thing Kasdan was involved with the script. Here’s hoping the guy was interested in giving us a good, new story rather than offering a rehash of the OT, as seems to be the case with Abrams.

    That woman in the centre of the photo wearing leather trousers and a leather cap definitely looks like Cara Delevigne.

    The colour of most of the aliens and their clothes are to similar.
