The new book "Star Wars Fascinating Facts" delivers on that title with this one: in George Lucas& #39; 2012 treatment for the sequel trilogy, Luke died in Episode VIII. #StarWars

And things get crazier: in George& #39;s original outline, Rey was a 14 year old girl named Taryn. In later iterations, he changed her name briefly to Thea and also to, I swear, Winkie. J.J. gave her the codename Sally, then she was Kira, Echo, and finally Rey.

This was already known, but it& #39;s nice to have it in print: George& #39;s conception of Luke in the sequel trilogy was inspired by Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.
