Daisy Ridley’s much-awaited return to Star Wars might finally have a title. It is expected to have a title that aligns with the naming trend of the franchise. It shows that at least one Star Wars movie has managed to be in the works despite the writers’ strike. This pause has also hampered Ridley’s reprisal of her popular Skywalker role. But what if the action megastar Tom Cruise joins the franchise? At least, that’s what fans want to see.
Back in 2014, fans were taken by surprise by rumors about Tom Cruise making a cameo in Star Wars, donning an Ewok attire and wielding a lightsaber. However, the Hollywood superstar denied his involvement in JJ Abrams’ Star Wars: Episode VII.
Fan Art Brings Tom Cruise’s Jedi Warrior To Star Wars
Fan art is a dynamic space where creativity has no limits, often blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Recently, a fan art showcasing Tom Cruise in Star Wars attire has caused a stir among fans. The image created using the service called Prompt Hunt shows the Top Gun star wielding a lightsaber.
Back in 2014, The Sun newspaper sparked rumors of Tom Cruise’s cameo in the Star Wars saga by reporting a meeting between Cruise and Abrams in London.
A source said (via The Guardian):
“Tom has been in London for over a week and met up with JJ and some other people from Star Wars over the weekend. On Saturday evening, five of them met up for dinner and drinks at the Belgravia Hotel. JJ produced M:I5 and loves working with Tom whenever he gets the chance.”
Tom Cruise had previously collaborated with JJ Abrams on Mission: Impossible III, which was also Abrams’ first outing as a movie director. Later, Cruise’s representative told ET Canada that there was no truth to The Sun’s report and labeled it as “pure fiction.”

Tom Cruise’s Film Made US President Feel Concerned
Bruce Reed, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, told AP that US President Joe Biden had grown concerned about AI issues. The President also planned to lay out fresh guidelines and security protocols concerning AI. His concerns heightened after he came across his AI-generated images along with voice cloning tech.
Redd said (Associated Press):
“If he hadn’t already been concerned about what could go wrong with AI before that movie, he saw plenty more to worry about.”
As if this issue wasn’t enough, Biden’s concerns grew when he watched Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. The film features a self-aware AI as the main antagonist, responsible for several fatalities. Having the President of the United States take interest in your film might seem like an achievement.
