Here's How Star Wars: The Force Awakens Almost Opened

It seems like light years ago when Star Wars: The Force Awakens was first announced, after Disney purchased LucasFilm for $4 billion in October 2012.

One of the earliest rumors to surface regarding The Force Awakens revealed the opening moments of the film, which follows a lightsaber with a severed hand attached to it, that falls through the sky, landing on the desert planet of Jakku.

The Sun recently spoke with Mark Hamill, who revealed that the original rumor was true, and that report revealed the first 15 minutes “absolutely accurately.”
