First Star Wars: Episode VIII Look at Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill

As fans mourn the death of Star Wars legend Carrie Fisher, a behind-the-scenes photo of the actress who played Leia and Mark Hamill has been released.

The photo shows Fisher and Hamill reuniting in the set, both wearing robes to conceal their costumes. Oscar Isaac, who plays Poe Dameron in the new Star Wars trilogy, shared this touching moment on his Facebook page:

This photo indicates that the Skywalker siblings will probably reunite in Star Wars: Episode VIII. They didn’t share screen time in The Force Awakens, and they didn’t spend much time together in Return of the Jedi, so it would be exciting to see them together in a new scene in Rian Johnson’s untitled sequel.

Director Rian Johnson offered a few breadcrumbs to appease hungry fans until the next update on “Star Wars: Episode VIII.” Johnson took to his “lousy stinkin” Tumblr to share some big news with “Star Wars” fans.

“I can’t believe we’re halfway through the shoot. (We’re halfway through the shoot!)”

He also released some set photos showing himself in “action,” captioned: “Good. Bad. I’m the guy with the microfiber sham.”

Joining Hamill in “Episode VIII” are cast members Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie and Andy Serkis. Benicio del Toro and Laura Dern will also be joining the franchise in unspecified roles.

Star Wars: Episode VIII is set to release in theatres on December 15, 2017.
