VIDEO : George Lucas Gave Leia Force Powers In Original Plan For Star Wars 7-9

George Lucas planned for Leia to use the Force more openly in his original outline for Star Wars 7-9, according to Mark Hamill. "I was talking to him last week, but they?re not following George?s ideas so we?ll have to wait and see on that one. But it seems like a waste of an innate talent that she should utilize in some way." Of course, well before either Rian Johnson?s "The Last Jedi" or J.J. Abrams? "The Force Awakens" hit the scene, there was Lucas? original vision for the third Star Wars movie trilogy. Now that "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" is playing in theaters, Star Wars fans are finally getting to weigh in on the next chapter in the Star Wars saga.
