As you can see, Hamill is ready to give that juicy spoiler away. This kind of shenanigans and tomfoolery would have never happened under J.J. Abrams watch…and I’m totally fine with it. It’s nice to see both the director and the actors having fun with the film and he fans.

I can’t imagine what this major plot point will be, or if this is all just some silly April Fool’s prank, but I for one am having a heckuva lot of fun with it. Let’s all hope it has to do with Luke finding Lando in that Casino, or Rey being his daughter…nevermind, that’s just too much to ask, isn’t it?
