Star Wars gives fans a new look behind the scenes of Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker as C-3PO actor reveals robot is central to the film's storyline

STAR Wars fans got a look behind the scenes of the final movie Rise Of Skywalker today – with the cast dropping some huge hints about the new film.

A new picture shows Anthony Daniels' robot C-3PO being attended to below an umbrella on set in Jordan's Wadi Rum valley in an amazing backstage shot.

To the left, Daisy Ridley's Rey and Joonas Suotamo's Chewbacca are shown waiting for their moment while John Boyega walks past in costume as Finn.

This is the first movie since original Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew's death, though he retired from the role in 2015.

Anthony, who is shown in the centre of the dusty location shoot in full shiny costume, explained that the golden android does something in the movie that surprises everyone.

The 73-year-old told Vanity Fair: “He keeps his clothes on. It’s not like he suddenly does this thing, but…"

He also let slip a snippet of dialogue from the movie, saying: "My first line would not go in my head. The line that I couldn’t say was two words: ‘common emblem.’

"Common emblem, common emblem — I would say them thousands of times. My wife would say it back. I just couldn’t say them!”

Director JJ Abrams explained how Carrie Fisher, who died in 2016, will also be appearing with new lines being written around old footage from The Force Awakens.

The 52-year-old said: "It’s hard to even talk about it without sounding like I’m being some kind of cosmic spiritual goofball, but it felt like we suddenly had found the impossible answer to the impossible question."

Disney also confirmed that the long-rumoured Knights of Ren will be making an appearance.

Adam Driver, who plays their one-time leader Kylo Ren, explained: "He had been forging this maybe-bond with Rey and it kind of ends with the question in the air:

"Is he going to pursue that relationship, or when the door of her ship goes up, does that also close that camaraderie that they were maybe forming?”

Vanity Fair is out on 31 May
