‘Star Wars Battlefront’ News: Anna Kendrick Appears in Trailer
Anna Kendrick makes a cameo in the new "Star Wars Battlefront" video game trailer.
In the video, the 30-year-old actress delivers one of the most famous lines from George Lucas' 1977 film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Along with a series of clips of pedestrians disappearing around the world, Kendrick's scene references Obi-Wan Kenobi's (Alec Guinness) iconic death in Star Wars, when the Jedi is defeated by Darth Vader (David Prowse) and his robes fall empty to the ground.
The actress delivers Kenobi's well-known last lines -- "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
Like Kenobi, she too disappears, leaving behind her clothes and an uneaten sandwich.
After his death, Kenobi occasionally resurfaces throughout the series as a "Force Ghost" to give Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) guidance through the next couple of films.
The first trailer for the forthcoming video game debuted back in April. That video showed the central character drawn into his fantasies, jumping into the cockpit of an X-Wing.
"Star Wars Battlefront" is scheduled for release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on Tuesday, Nov. 17.
Meanwhile, Kendrick currently stars in the comedy "Mr. Right," alongside Sam Rockwell and Anson Mount. The film follows Kendrick's character Martha as she falls in love with a seemingly perfect guy, who turns out to be a hitman on the run from a cartel.
Kendrick also just finished work on the films "Get a Job" and "The Accountant," which are due out in 2015 and 2016, respectively.
She will also reprise her role as Beca in the recently announced "Pitch Perfect 3," which is due out in 2017. The last movie in the franchise, "Pitch Perfect 2," was released on May 15 and also starred Rebel Wilson and Hailee Steinfeld.
