Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits UK cinemas 14 December, while Episode 9 follows in May 2019.
The Last Jedi’s Rian Johnson asked The Force Awakens’ J.J. Abrams to swap out BB-8 for R2-D2 for Rey’s journey to Ahch-To in the film’s final sequence, for example.
Yet any team needs its collaboration, and it’s interesting to learn about how the three new trilogy directors have influenced each other’s work.
It’s likely Trevorrow’s request is just as minor as Johnson’s one, though these adjustments are still important in keeping the film’s narratives flowing.
