The First Order is nothing short of brutal in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but of course, things aren't always that serious with the bunch. Taking things to a lighter side, a blooper reel shows what goes on behind the scenes on those heavy parts of the movie, particularly with Richard E. Grant and Domnhall Gleeson's scenes.

In a clip released by USA Today, the blooper reel shows the pair's mistakes while filming for Episode IX as their respective characters. Gleeson, who plays General Hux, drops quite a few f-bombs when making some mistakes. He also lets out some laughs with his co-stars and the crew even though he gets the script right.

The video also shows Grant getting silly with his co-star, as he playfully mimics hitting Gleeson for the scene. The actor also seems to be enjoying himself, especially when he shot Hux once his character realized he's the traitor. Grant even admitted that it was an "extraordinarily pleasurable thing to do." You can check out the clip below.

Unfortunately, the home release won't include any deleted scenes, but Grant and Gleeson did tease a deleted scene they had with Adam Driver's Kylo Ren in a previous interview. While they didn't specify the said clip, based on how Grant described it, he seems to be pertaining to the opening scene at Mustafar. "The one time we weren't in the studio, it got cut," Gleeson said.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker arrives on Digital on March 17 and Blu-ray on March 31.
