Almost a decade beyond the passing of Carrie Fisher, and with Han Solo and Luke Skywalker no more (Luke and Leia passing into the Force and Solo and his physical body ending on Starkiller Base), the opportunity to bring the ‘big three‘ of the original trilogy back together has long gone, and it’s that moment of seeing Han, Luke and Leia together – even in a flashback – that many OT fans felt was missing from the trilogy. Speaking on a recent Actor Roundtable with The Hollywood Reporter, Mark Hamill revealed what J.J. Abrams said to him when he broached the subject.
“I said, ‘Aren’t we going to have a moment where all 3 of us get together to raise the roof? It’ll only take 30 seconds,'” the actor recalled. “And JJ said, ‘Well, Mark, it’s not Luke’s story anymore.”
What do you think of this? Was Abrams right, or should we have had that moment? Let us know via email or socials and we’ll discuss on the next episode of Making Tracks.
