EPISODE VIII: A MESSAGE OF THE PAST... AND FUTURE!


Still in grief from the loss of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker's reunion with R2-D2 in the Millennium Falcon is a welcome one for both the characters and audience, especially when the little droid tries to win Luke back to heroism with his playing of the original hologram message of help from his sister Leia - the message that sent the once farmboy into a wider universe, and adventure, he hadn't been fully aware of.


A lovely and emotional moment in The Last Jedi, utilizing original 1976 shot footage at Elstree Studios, acting as both a poignant celebration of the original Star Wars in last year's 40th Anniversary, and a celebration of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia Organa.

Early unused footage of Carrie Fisher as Leia for the Hologram message scene.
