Tom Wilton is an actor who specializes in performing as creatures and droids. His work can be seen in several Star Wars films, including Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker.
In The Force Awakens, Wilton took on the role of B-U4D and collaborated with Derek Arnold to embody the luggabeast. He also donned the Sarco Plank costume for promotional images, though he didn't play the character in the actual movie. For Rogue One, Wilton's performances included Ponda Baba and Bor Gullet. Moving on to The Last Jedi, he brought Edmo Ectacle to life and once again teamed up with Arnold to animate Bargwill Tomder along with the Thala-siren. In The Rise of Skywalker, which concluded the sequel trilogy, Wilton appeared as the costumed Aftab Ackbar and controlled the inner workings of a binary loadlifter prop, upon which the character Vazzet Dipterz was seated.
