The Last Jedi is due in cinemas at the end of this year and was finally teased last week with the release of the first teaser trailer.
Now speaking to ABC’s Nightline, he’s revealed that the storyline does not take Luke Skywalker in the direction he was expecting.
“When I read [episode] eight I told Rian, ‘I fundamentally disagree with virtually everything you’ve decided about my character’,” he revealed.
“But it might be a good sign! Because I was really wrong about [episode] seven].”
Recalling his concerns with The Force Awakens, he added: “I said, ‘when I turn around, the audience are going to hoot and holler because it’s such an obvious cheat!’
“I didn’t foresee John Williams’ incredibly music and the shots of Daisy [Ridley], the build-up to it. I was never happier to be wrong.”
Ridley, incidentally, also had stern words for Johnson when she found out about Rey’s trajectory this time around.
“I went to Rian’s office and was like, ‘we need to have a talk about what’s happening here’,” she quipped.
