Tom Cruise, 'Star Wars Episode VII' And Everything We Know About That Rumour

In the latest round of Star Wars Episode VII rumours, The Sun is reporting that Tom Cruise could be making a cameo appearance in the upcoming instalment. Yes Ethan Hunt’s next mission could be in a galaxy far, far away! Of course it’s all just another Star Wars rumour at the moment (and we’ve had plenty of those in the last few months), but just because it’s Tom, let’s indulge this one and go over everything we know about the possibility of Cruise in Episode VII.

5. Cruise has cameoed before

You might think it would be an actual mission impossible for Tom Cruise to only have a small role in any movie, but he’s done it before. In 2008 he made a brief appearance in Ben Stiller comedy Tropic Thunder playing studio executive Les Grossman. He had also previously appeared as himself in Austin Powers in Goldmember back in 2002.
