“Star Wars” creator George Lucas had other plans for Hamill’s character, Luke Skywalker, the actor said in an interview with IGN published Monday. “I happen to know that George didn’t kill Luke until the end of ‘[Episode] IX,’ after he trained Leia,” Hamill said, referring to a forthcoming film in the series. This is the first we’ve heard of Lucas ever planning to kill off Luke. This is also the first we’ve heard of Leia becoming a Jedi in one of the films. Lucas did famously save one character from an early demise: Han Solo.
