Bill Dee Williams revealed his new training regimen during an appearance at MegaCon Orlando, but there is no direct connection between it and Star Wars Episode IX. It’s certainly possible the man just wants to get in shape for his own personal health, something most of us could probably use.
Of course, the role could also be anything, it doesn’t need to be Star Wars related, but Episode IX filming should be getting underway here in the next few months, so the timing works out.
To be clear, this is entirely rumor brought on by speculation, but it’s certainly interesting speculation.
However, it’s common for actors to get personal trainers when they need to get in shape for a specific role, so it’s certainly possible that’s the case here.
