Mark Hamill describes how George Lucas originally wanted to end 'Star Wars' Episode 9

George Lucas once had plans for a "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, and Mark Hamill has revealed Lucas' ending to his Episode 9.
  • George Lucas once had a vision for his own "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, and he told actor Mark Hamill his plan for the finale.
  • Hamill said that Lucas intended to kill Luke Skywalker in Episode 9 after he trains Leia in the ways of the Force.
  • Luke instead dies in Rian Johnson's "The Last Jedi," Episode 8, after he becomes "one with the Force" to save Leia and the Resistance.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas had plans for a "Star Wars" sequel trilogy.

That obviously never happened, and we now have different versions of Episodes 7 and 8 — with 9 coming next year — than what Lucas originally envisioned. But thanks to Luke Skywalker himself, we now know how Lucas would have ended Episode 9.

In an interview with IGN, actor Mark Hamill revealed how Lucas would have ended his own Episode 9, and it's similar to how director Rian Johnson ended Episode 8, "The Last Jedi," last year.

Hamill told IGN that Lucas intended to kill Luke Skywalker.
