Star Wars 8: Leia’s heartbreaking FINAL words revealed in Last Jedi novel LEAKS

Watching Episode 8 was hard enough knowing that it was the last time we would see Carrie Fisher on screen in her iconic role.

The upcoming novelisation looks set to break fans’ hearts all over again. The book isn’t out until the end of next week, but one fan has been live tweeting her reactions as she reads an advance copy.

Her comments about the General Leia storyline and they way it ends sounds absolutely heartbreaking and gives greater depth to the passing moments of Luke and his sister’s reaction.

WARNING SPOILERS

This refers to the final scenes of the Last Jedi when Luke tricks everyone and then fades into the Force. It clearly shows that Leia could sense her brother’s passing. It also reveals that Leia has finally given up on her son and is grieving what he has become.

Fans will be desperate to know whether it was Obi-Wan, Yoda or even Luke father telling him to let go.

It also seems a shame that the movie didn’t give more time for Leia’s grief and allow the fans more space to process what had happened.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Expanded Edition) will be released on March 8 (Century: £20)
