Hamill continued: “The good news is I’ve seen it, and it’s like The Godfather. It doesn’t feel that long.
“And I’m really cranky. I’m one of those guys where you go see, like, a big superhero movie and you go, ‘I really love it, but it’s too long!’”
Hamill revealed: “I think that there are much bigger surprises in The Last Jedi.”
