When asked if Trevorrow had a similar request of Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, Colin had this to say.
It was previously noted that Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson had asked J.J. Abrams to make a minor change to The Force Awakens, hoping the director would swap BB-8 for R2-D2 when Rey (Daisy Ridley) journeys to Ahch-To to meet Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).
During a recent interview, the filmmaker was asked if he had any special requests for Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson as he was getting ready for Star Wars: Episode IX.
We do know that Star Wars: The Last Jedi will start exactly where Star Wars: The Force Awakens ends, with Rey handing Luke Skywalker his lightsaber.
