A legendary 'Star Wars' actor has a brief cameo in 'Solo' and you probably missed it

Warning: There are spoilers for "Solo: A Star Wars Story" below.

"Solo" is the first story in "Star Wars" history that won't feature C-3P0, but if you head out to see the movie, it does include actor Anthony Daniels. 

You just may not recognize him out of the droid look.

Daniels' name appears in the credits playing Tak.

Who's Tak?

It's the name of one of the humans Chewbacca runs into on Kessel. According to "Solo" screenwriter Jonathan Kasdan, the character is named after cinematographer Tak Fujimoto.

Here's how to find Daniels' cameo

Pay close attention when Chewbacca makes his way out of the mines on Kessel with another Wookiee named Sagwa. 

Han, Lando, and their crew are preparing to take off in the Millennium Falcon. Meanwhile, a group of Wookiees is escaping nearby. Sagwa is called over by a slave on Kessel to get out of there. That's Tak. 

 The Wookiee, in turn, asks Chewie to join him and Tak. 

He considers it, but ultimately stays with Han when he sees Lando's droid, L3-37, get shot several times.

If you've been keeping up with "Star Wars" news, you may have already had an inkling Daniels would appear in the movie.

In early May, Mark Hamill spilled the beans during a podcast with The Washington Post that Daniels was in "Solo."
