Fans will remember the last scene of The Last Jedi saw the stable boy from Canto Bight use the Force to grab a broom and be inspired by the Resistance.
However director and writer Johnson has now revealed his original ending for the new Star Wars movie.
Speaking on the EMPIRE podcast, he said: “That was something I really stuck to, and believe me, we went back and forth in the editing room.
“In the script, when I wrote that scene in the Falcon, I wrote the words, ‘this seems like the perfect image to end on.’”
Johnson continued: “To me, it was really important to have that final scene [on Canto Bight], because it turns what Luke did from an act that saves 20 people into an act that inspires the galaxy.
“The notion that what we’re setting up here is something big in the next chapter.
“And when Leia says, ‘we have everything we need,’ she’s talking about everyone on the Falcon, but also about what we see next, which is we now have a galaxy that has seen this beacon of hope and is getting inspired to fight the good fight.”
While Star Wars The Last Jedi is the 10th highest grossing movie of all time, it flopped in China.
According to Jimmy Wu, Chairman of the Chinese cinema chain Lumiere Pavilions: “The Last Jedi has already been completely pulled from cinemas here.
“It’s performed much worse than we could have expected.”
