Meanwhile, intriguing news about "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" emerged on "Star Wars" Day. It was revealed that the ending of "The Force Awakens" was actually the revised version. Director Rian Johnson told EW that he asked J.J. Abrams and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan to change "The Force Awakens" ending.
"Yes... The big [favor] was, I asked if R2 could come with Rey, and if BB-8 could stay behind with the Resistance," said Johnson to EW. "Originally it was BB-8 who went with Rey, which makes sense for the story in a way. But I asked, 'Can you do me this solid and switch the droids?' " he added. The reason of the changing was Johnson wanted to use R2 more in the upcoming "Star Wars: The Last Jedi", but BB-8 would still play a big part in the movie.
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" will hit U.S. theaters on December 15.
