A deleted scene from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” would have included a different actor portraying young Luke Skywalker, /Film reports.

What happened: In “The Force Awakens,” the character Rey (Daisy Ridley) picks up Skywalker’s light saber and experiences a series of Force visions, showing her glimpses of the future and past events of the “Star Wars” universe.

One of the deleted visions includes a young Skywalker battling Darth Vader in a re-enactment of their famous duel in “The Empire Strikes Back.”

The twist: Actor Robert Boulter would have portrayed Skywalker, not Mark Hamill.

A leaked photo on Twitter and Reddit show Boulter dressed as Skywalker.
