Several weeks ago, a new TV spot for Star Wars: The Last Jedi showed fans something they hadn't seen in over thirty years, new shots of Luke Skywalker aboard the Millennium Falcon. Now, Luke Skywalker actor, Mark Hamill has spoke with Entertainment Weekly's Anthony Breznican about what it was like shooting those scenes. Suffice to say, it was an emotional day for Hamill.
Hamill recalled the first time he visited the Millennium Falcon set during The Last Jedi production, before shooting his scenes there. He told EW,
"I was there with my family, with [my children] Nathan and Griffin and
Chelsea and my wife Marilou, and [Lucasfilm] asked if the documentary
crew could be there when I came back on the Millennium Falcon. I mean,
this was not on the shooting day. I was just street clothes and going to
visit that set. And I said, 'Sure.' (...) It was sort of like visiting an old house that you lived in when you
were a kid,” he says. “I mean, I just welled up with emotion and I said, 'I need to be by myself.'"
Director and writer of The Last Jedi also spoke about the scene being shot, telling EW,
"God, I remember so vividly getting that shot of him turning on the
lights in the Falcon cockpit. And we all kind of looked at each other,
just like, 'Oh my God.'"
Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters on December 15th. The
film is written and directed by Rian Johnson and stars Daisy Ridley as
Rey, Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, John Boyega as Finn, Adam Driver as
Kylo Ren, Carrie Fisher as Leia Organa, Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron, Kelly Marie Tran as Rose Tico,
