--- ---  # Watch _Star Wars_' John Boyega Show Off His Out-Of-This-Galaxy Dance Moves for Daisy Ridley  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Nov 30, 2017 5:45 PM UTC  NBC  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Nov 30, 2017 5:45 PM UTC With the release of [_Star Wars: The Last Jedi_](http://time.com/4974707/star-wars-last-jedi-new-trailer/)just around the corner, the stars of [Episode VIII](http://time.com/5041746/star-wars-the-last-jedi-jar-jar-binks-return-debunked/) have begun making the late-night rounds. And so far, their appearances have not disappointed. After rocking some [Princess Leia](http://time.com/4940100/star-wars-carrie-fisher-daughter-billie-lourd-rey/) headphones for a _Star Wars_\-themed [“Whisper Challenge”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FgV0yBZG6E) on Tuesday’s episode of _The Tonight Show_, Daisy Ridley left behind a video message for Jimmy Fallon to play for her co-star John Boyega the following day. “Oh, peanut! Please show Jimmy your breakout dance move at the wrap party,” she said in the clip. Boyega appeared to be a bit embarrassed by the request on Wednesday, but quickly got over it and asked The Roots to play some music for him to get down to. He then proceeded to show off a set of Michael Jackson-inspired moves that would rival those of any dancer in the galaxy far, far away. _The Last Jedi_ is set to hit theaters on December 15.
