Behind the scenes
"[He told me], 'Just be aware of the fact that there are massive sequences in Act Two, there are massive sequences in Act Three but because we’re shooting Act One first, I’ve put you in there and you seem to not be around as much in Act Two and Act Three but that’s because that’s what we're doing first so I want you here, I want you invested. So read the script but just know there won’t be long until there'll be a re-draft of those things and we’ll see you a little bit more'. So I read it, and the script is amazing and obviously there isn't a lot I can say."

- Dominic Monaghan on how he got his role

This resistance trooper will be appearing in the upcoming 2019 film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, the final installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. He is portrayed by Dominic Monaghan, and first appeared in promotional media and merchandising.

The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams wrote the part of the trooper with Dominic Monaghan in mind, having previously worked with him in the ABC TV series Lost. While Monaghan wasn't contacted for the 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, Abrams later offered him the role of Beaumont, which Monaghan got after England won against Colombia in the Round of 16 of the 2018 FIFA World Cup as part of a bet with Abrams.
