But he doesn't think that's necessarily a bad thing

"When I read 8, I told Rian [Johnson, the writer-director], 'I fundamentally disagree with virtually everything you've decided about my character'," Hamill said during an ABC interview.
He did however clarify: "But it might be a good sign! I was really wrong about 7; I said, 'When I turn around [at the end], the audience is going to hoot and holler because it's such an obvious cheat'.
"I didn't foresee John Williams's incredible music and the shots of Daisy [Ridley] or the build-up to it all."
Luke is set to play a key part in The Last Jedi, ominously declaring at the end of the first trailer "It's time for the Jedi to end."
Last week, Hamill outlined what he saw as a "great missed opportunity" with Han Solo's death in The Force Awakens.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is in cinemas December 16.
