A key moment in The Rise of Skywalker saw Rey (Daisy Ridley) return to the island where Luke (Mark Hamill) trained her during The Last Jedi. Whilst there she was confronted by Luke’s force ghost and the two shared some particularly poignant dialogue.
Now we understand that those scenes are dropped in to the film during a period of reshoots. The film’s co-editor, Maryann Brandon, was recently interviewed on the Art of the Cut podcast and shared some details about that pivotal scene.
“The film kind of informed us, after it was together, what it needed to say so we went back and got that dialogue,” explained Brandon. “There was like a funny moment between Poe and Rey when he lands the Falcon and it’s on fire, we wanted to have a more humorous exchange between them. Nothing major, no.”
