If the character combo of Luke, Rey, Chewbacca and R2-D2 felt oddly comfortable to some older fans at the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it’s because this character combo was directly influenced by the original Kenner Star Wars Early Bird action figure package from way back at Christmas 1977.
And in true Star Wars fashion, the Luke and Rey vs Kylo and The Knights of Ren scene will be inter-cut along with Chewbacca’s impromptu mission.
If you remember the very last scene in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it shows Rey being accompanied to Ahch-To by her new co-pilot Chewbacca and R2.
There are numerous accounts from inside sources and curious onlookers alike who were in Ireland for the Star Wars: Episode VIII shoot.
