Talking with MTime, Mark Hamill has revealed an interesting change made to the ending of The Force Awakens, after the script for The Last Jedi was completed.

Hamill said: “When we were doing [The Force Awakens], Rian [Johnson, The Last Jedi director] said, ‘Oh and by the way we might have a couple of boulders floating to show your Force emanating’.

“So I was led to believe that I still had the Force and it was really strong in me.

“When I read [The Last Jedi] before VII came out, I said ‘what?’ and called JJ [Abrams, The Force Awakens director] or Rian to say, ‘Are you guys aware of this? Have you seen a cut? Is there floating boulders?’

“And they said, ‘No, we caught that and we worked it all out’.”
