Mark Hamill apparently said in a Hollywood reporter roundtable.
“I said, ‘Aren’t we going to have a moment where all 3 of us get together to raise the roof? It’ll only take 30 seconds,’” Hamill recalled as part of The Hollywood Reporter’s latest Actor Roundtable. “And JJ said, 'Well, Mark, it’s not Luke’s story anymore.”
Aye, such a missed opportunity there. Especially as TFA is basically a love letter / riff / homage to the entire OT; for me anyway. Perhaps JJ thought having ‘the Big 3’ in a scene would likely be happen in one of the other two ST films (as his TFA didn’t feature Luke at all until the end)…
