It is also the most controversial and divisive movie in the “Star Wars” franchise.

However, most fans can agree that they were frustrated that one character was cut.

Resistance fighter Jess Pava, played by Jessica Henwick, never returned for the sequel.

The “Game of Thrones” actress recently revealed that she was “meant to come back for the next one.”

However, Johnson never brought her back because he believed her character had died.

“I was like, no dude, I survived,” Henwick told him.

“I have a whole series of comic books written about Jess Pava, and he didn’t know that,” she added.

It’s a bit hard to believe that Johnson didn’t know about the comic books, which were released a year before his film came out!
