Mark Hamill reveals J.J. Abrams refused to let Han, Luke, and Leia reunite on camera, telling Mark that Star Wars was no longer Luke Skywalker's story
"In the sequel trilogies... I only had two cameos."
"I said, 'Aren't we going to have a moment where all three of us get together to raise the roof? It'll only take 30 seconds.'"
"And J.J. said, 'Well Mark, it's not Luke's story anymore.'"
"I said, 'Star Wars wasn't Obi-Wan's story, but Alec Guinness had a crucial commitment, you know?'"
"Anyway, nobody listens to me."
