Indeed Hamill claims to have been the one to point out the erotic implications of the scene to Johnson.
Actor Mark Hamill – best known for playing the part of Luke Skywalker – has weighed in on what many are calling the first love-scene in the Star Wars films.
“It’s the closest thing we’ll get to a sex scene in a Star Wars movie,” joked Johnson.
The scene was first described in erotic terms by the films’ creators during a panel at the SXSW Film Festival.
