Mark Hamill Shares His Touching Favorite Moment From 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'
By Hannah Wigandt
We love it when Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, shares his memories and thoughts with us on his ever-growing, ever-present Twitter account. While Skywalker leads the fight against the Sith, Hamill leads us through a brighter day with his tweets.
Hamill has given us yet another tidbit of information behind the scenes of filming Star Wars: The Last Jedi, where fans saw the shocking end Luke Skywalker.
Hamill recently revealed his favorite scene in The Last Jedi was when he reunited with his on-screen sister, Princess Leia, played by the late and great Carrie Fisher. The reunion was captured in artwork that will now be showcased at Star Wars Celebration.
While the scene might be Hamill's favorite, he has also previously said he can never watch it again, because it reminds Hamill that Fisher is no longer around.
“I can’t watch that scene. It’s just, you know, takes me out of the movie completely," Hamill shared with Entertainment Tonight. "I’ll get over it, but she’ll be forever missed and she’s irreplaceable.”
The scene that reunited the two legacy players was apparently completely improvised by Hamill as well.
“I didn’t decide it and say, ‘Can I do this?’ I mean, in the take — I don’t know if we rehearsed it or not, but it just happened," Hamill shared. "I was standing up and they weren’t ready for it. They said, ‘No, do that again.’ And we did it for a second take, and like I said, it was just spontaneous.”
While it might be the last time the Skywalker siblings will share the screen, it's been confirmed that we will see both Fisher and Hamill again in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX.
