>“Now, remember, one of the plots in the earlier films was the telepathic communication between my sister and me,” Hamill said. “So I thought, Carrie will sense that Han is in danger and try to contact me. And she won’t succeed, and, in frustration, she’ll go herself. Then we’re in the situation where all three of us are together, which is one of my favorite things in the original film, when we were on the Death Star. It’s just got a fun dynamic to it. So I thought it would have been more effective, and I still feel this way, though it’s just my opinion, that Leia would make it as far as she can, and, right when she is apprehended, maybe even facing death—Ba-boom! I come in and blow the guy away and the two of us go to where Han is facing off with his son, but we’re too late. The reason that’s important is that we witness his death, which carries enormous personal resonance into the next picture. As it is, Chewie’s there, and how much can you get out of [passable Chewbacca wail] ‘Nyaaarghhh!’ and two people who have known Han for, what, 20 minutes?”

This has to be the saddest Star Wars related thing I read. Just how invested he is in all of this. He's all but writing his own fan-fiction. At one point did he just give up? He went from a guy slightly bummed cause he's synonymous with a space opera and trying to build a career that doesn't involve talking to guys in lobster suits so he's not forever known as Luke, to a guy that is like Tonto in a travelling circus, just telling fans what they want to hear, regaling old stories from the set and making Boba Fett jokes.
Fuck.
