Rumor: Luke Skywalker’s Involvement in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Luke Skywalker

Yesterday, Making Star Wars posted another rumor, this time regarding Luke Skywalker’s involvement with The Force Awakens. The rumor should be considered a huge spoiler so continue reading at your own risk…

 

Let’s get straight to business. Here’s what MakingStarWars posted about the final sequence of the movie:

 

 

MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT!

 

The heroes suffer a great blow when they lose their mentor figure [Han Solo]. But after a great duel with Rey and Finn versus Kylo Ren, the heroes return back to the base as heroes. At this point, it becomes clear that their current adventure together has come to an end.

 

We follow our main hero, Rey as she says goodbye to the important players in the film, Leia, Poe, and so on. Meanwhile BB-8, Artoo-Detoo, and See-Threepio decode a puzzle. Rey makes a special stop to say goodbye to Finn in the medical bay.

 

Rey, Chewbacca, and BB-8 then get into the Falcon and take off. Chewbacca playfully messes up her hair in an endearing gesture. Things are going to be alright, is what the Wookiee is trying to say, as far as I can tell.

 

I imagine like all Star Wars films, the end is silent with music playing. That’s just my take though. But it seems likely here. They fly away to a new planet and the Falcon lands.

 

Rey walks up the stone steps. She comes up to a figure and puts the Lightsaber in his hand. Its Luke Skywalker.

 

lightsaber

 

That’s it. That’s Luke’s involvement in the entire movie according to that report. I’m sure that Jason has a reason to post this, as he’s seen some documents and evidence, but I’m also sure that there is  not a single Star Wars fan who would accept such story development in the movie they’ve been expecting for decades. I think that this is just a too risky move by Disney and J.J. Abrams, and they will never make it. Just think about it. The two most beloved Star Wars characters for the fans are Luke and Han. What’s the logic of killing one and giving the other a minuscule amount of screen time if you want to win the fans for the future installments?

 

We have to remember that this movie will be the foundation of the Star Wars franchise going forward – a franchise that’s about to enter in its own Golden Age for the years to come. You don’t want to disappoint the fans with your first try, don’t you? I’ve been hearing that the idea of the first movie is to be really simple and to present the story in a way that all viewers, new and old, would be able to understand it. Things started to sound too complicated with all these stories about plot twists and turns.

 

Of course this is just my opinion and I may very well be wrong. Actually to be honest, I also heard the rumors that Jason posted in the last few days from a different source. We mentioned part of these rumors in an article from a month ago HERE. And while our source didn’t directly say that Han will die, he said that he will not be in the final scene of the movie. Also the same source told me that Luke has only one scene at the end of the movie. At that time I thought that it doesn’t make much sense and I decided not to include it in our piece. Actually the same source told us something else we left from our report, but again I thought it was highly unlikely to happen. Who knows we will see what happens in the next few days.

 

I also want to point a few facts and rumors that stand against the rumor that Luke has only a few minutes of screen time. And I really doubt that all these were done just to mislead the fans.

 

 

michael-arndt-star-wars

 

1. Michael Arndt’s script was supposed to be focused on the new generation of characters and the Big Three were taking a supporting roles. When Abrams and Kasdan took writing duties they changed that.

 

From TheHollywoodReporter:

The project has changed significantly since Oscar winner Michael Arndt split as writer on Episode VII in the fall, with duties taken up by Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan.

 

According to multiple insiders, the reason for the parting of ways was not due to a timeframe issue, as has been reported, but rather due to a difference of opinion of which characters to emphasize.

 

Arndt is said to have focused on the offspring of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), with the original trilogy’s heroes taking on supporting roles. Abrams, however, wanted Episode VII to focus on the classic trio of characters, so audiences could have one more chance to enjoy them before a fitting send-off. The new characters, the offspring, will now be in supporting roles, according to these sources, and take center stage in Episode VIII and IX. Some characters have disappeared from the Arndt script and new ones are being added.

 

Having just one scene in the movie directly contradicts with this rumor coming from a very credible source.

 

 

Rising Star

 

2. Filming on Skellig Michael.

 

Mark Hamill and Daisy Ridley were filming for three days on the Skellig Michael island (more HERE). If there was only one scene shot there why not film it in a studio? And why bring your stunt doubles if you’re filming a scene of handing a lightsaber? For 3 days! The conditions there were really hard. And actually there were reports that the shoot was significantly scaled down, It was supposed to be a longer shoot with exterior scenes.

 

 

BB-8

 

3. Hamill was on the Pinewood set playing with BB-8:

They never cease to amaze me with what they’re able to come up with, you know? I said, “How are you ever gonna top R2-D2, the most adorable droid in movie history?” And then they have this new one. I can’t even tell you his name, but you saw it in the trailer. [Editor’s note: the name of the droid has been revealed as BB-8.] And when they were demonstrating how they did this thing, live on set — because it’s not CGI, that’s a live prop — I was just amazed. They let me play around with it. [Laughs] I was running it all around at the creature shop up in Pinewood.

 

I doubt he was just hanging around the set playing with the droid. And in the same interview Hamill said that they will be “lending the kind of support [to the new cast] that Peter Cushing and Alec Guinness did in the original.”

 

 

millennium-falcon

 

4. Hamill on the Millennium Falcon:

“I can’t describe the feeling… the déjà vu of walking onto the Millennium Falcon, remembering all these details that they’ve gotten exactly right… It still seems surreal to me and hard to believe it’s actually happening.”

 

Again I doubt he was just visiting the Falcon as a guest.

 

 

Luke

 

5. Hamill asked to use hoods on set.

“You know, the security on it is just crazy,” he continued. “I’m surprised I can even admit I’m in it! …I like being surprised. It’s a whole different era now. When we made the original films, you had the odd reporter hanging around the studio bribing people to give them stories. Now, I said to them, ‘Do I really have to wear this robe and this hood that covers my entire head to go from the trailer to the soundstage?’ They said, ‘Yeah, there’s drones.’ Seriously! There’s drones flying over the studio trying to get pictures of whatever they can get pictures of.”

 

He definitely did some filming in Pinewood.

 

 

hamill

 

6. Hamill shaves his beard 3 days before filming ended.

 

The Force Awakens wrap party took place on November 1. Few days later Mark Hamill was spotted at Pinewood with his beard now shaven. Sources confirmed that filming continued. For more on that HERE. This strongly suggests that Luke will have at least two scenes in the movie – with and without beard.

 

 

hamill

 

7. Hamill’s diet.

 

Last but not least why do you loose 20 kilograms for a role that is only a few minutes long?

 

I personally don’t see all these being a deliberate misinformation. Actually months ago I asked my most trusty source and he told me that at that time there was no misinformation campaign by Disney or Lucasfilm. He said that they really don’t have time for such things. I don’t know if things changed.

 

Long story short. While I also heard the rumor that Hamill appears in only one scene, I think there are too many other things suggesting that it’s not true. I know that Jason has evidence for that rumor and the guy from which I heard it is really not bullshitting me. There has to be another explanation about this. But as I always say everything is possible. I personally believe that Luke’s role will be indeed not as big as the fans want, but I highly doubt he will appear only in one scene.

          I would also like to see Rey more. Up till yesturday’s rumor, Episode VII was looking like it was going to be the Finn & Poe show. I just hope JJ didn’t rewrite the script from Arndt to reduce Rey’s presence just so Disney can sell more boyish action figures.

            I like that women and girls like Star Wars but it was written for boys and to not do that anymore and try to pander deliberately to everyone, which it did originally by happen stance, it would lose a big part of it’s soul. In other words it wasn’t broken so don’t fix it now.

            Of course it is whatever it is now, so we’ll see.

            You can’t make something for boy, you can only do it for fans of something. This whole “for boys” or “for girls” is just sexist and if George Lucas said it, he has no clue himself. He made Star Wars out of Flash Gordon, Akira Kurosawa movies and much more, to make a great SciFi movie liked by people like him. If he thinks that they have to be boys, he is an idiot.

      if the rumor is right, it possibily means that luke will be a major character on sw ep8, so it’s not that terrible news. could be great. yoda wasnt on a new hope.

      • February 22, 2015 at 5:12 am
        Permalink

        This isn’t the same as Yoda not appearing until ESB. Before Yoda was introduced, no one knew who he was, so no one felt they were missing anything. Contrastingly, everybody already knows and loves Luke and wants to see what he has become after all this time. It would be perfectly fine for them to save him for the end of the story to build up the anticipation of the audience, but his reintroduction should obviously be more of a payoff than just having a little cameo for him in the very last scene of the movie. I think everybody at least wants to see him go to town on the chrome troopers and/or Kylo Ren.

        For the longest time, there have been rumors floating around that Luke has basically become “Force Superman,” so I think people are going to be really disappointed if we don’t get to see all the crazy things he can do now.

          right, not the same thing (yoda/luke), but it was a great and vey important character that wasnt in the first one and tha is ok. what i was trying to say, then, is that you can save some for the next episode and that it could even be luke skywalker. of course you cant ignore his absence. but i wouldnt be immediately disapointed if luke’s presence was being hold for the next film. if the plot deals with the absence of luke, knowing the public will be expecting to see him on screen; if the story works with his absence or distant presence, the possibility of having him being a kind of obi wan or much more than that in ep 8 is a good way for things to go on. maybe luke is kind of a legend for the younger ones – the great jedi that disappeared. maybe he’s a controversial figure for something that happened in the recent past (maybe rumor says he’s got mad or fell for the dark side). maybe he is a prisioner of the imperial forces and they – the heroes, finn, rey, poe – release him and give back his lightsaber (ok, if he is the superjedi, it could sound unnecessary, but he could be in a special sith prison, i dont know… or he can be waiting for the ones that fit the will of the force to release him, so he can guide them from now on: “i was expecting you” or something like that – dungeon master style). not saying it’s my favorite option for luke’s fate in ep7, but i think could be fine if done well. lets just hope it’s not a post credits scene! changing the subject, what concerns me is that i’m not thrilled with finn or poe dameron… ok, we only watched a few seconds of them on screen, but i wasnt impressed. rey seems to be much more interesting – i hope she’s is the one, the major hero for the new series.

    I hope they don’t kill of Han Solo! That will piss me off! Send him to a retirement planet where he can fish with Leia, Chewie and all their families and kids. And focus on the new set of characters but Luke has to be the main lead. I think he bad ass the older he gets!

    I’m glad you’re questioning the validity of this report. It would be an extraordinary risk – not to mention a very odd decision from Disney/Lucasfilm to presumably pay Mark to spend all those weeks on set if they didn’t need him! I’m all for a handover, but one scene would leave me feeling decidedly short changed.

    As lame as it is, I do feel (and can see) Luke only appearing in the last few minutes of the film as a build up (montage) of all the other craziness that I think will happen in the third act. It just means that Luke’s role will be much more involved in Episode VIII. I think these new films WILL tell the new characters’ stories and the original heroes will just serve as supporting roles to pass the torch. I can feel it.

    First off, I like the idea of him coming in at the very end. That would mean he will have a bigger role for the other two films. I think he was shooting other scenes for the parts where they are going back into the past. That’s why they had him lose the weight

    • February 22, 2015 at 3:13 am

      So what you’re saying is that Luke appearing in flashbacks wouldn’t count as Luke being featured throughout the film, save for that final scene?

      Curious line of thinking, to say the least.

      • February 22, 2015 at 5:05 am
        Permalink

        it certainly would be anticlimactic no…? Unless the rumors are true in which we meet Luke whose explanation triggers a flashback, which would explain his appearance in the other locations and his time spent on set. We’ll see. I kind of like the mystery to be honest. He should be revealed the same way that Ben did in A New Hope. Just take off his hood and say, “Hello there.”

        • February 23, 2015 at 9:02 pm
          Permalink

          Lol, the issue’s not whether Luke will be on the film in flasbhacks or in “real time”. The controversy is if he will be featured in more than that ONE scene at the end of the film that’s being discussed here.

          Personally, I don’t mind it if he appears in flashbacks, dreams or in the flesh. As long as Luke is present for much more than scarce seconds before—or even after—the credits roll in, I’ll be happy.

    If that were true, Disney can kiss this star wars fan goodbye for good. And I’m sure many others feel the same way as me.

      But the idea is that he will have a bigger role in ep8. He will be training Rey by that point. No one is saying this would be his last scene in the series. I agree that a single silent cameo at the end is a bad choice if true, but it in no way implies that Luke is out of the picture for good; far from it actually. I personally think they are confusing his appearance in the end montage with his total screen time. Before this rumor I figured he would get one big, awesome scene at the end when they finally find him, then a small silent bit at the end. I’m fine with one important scene at the end, but this is just silly and makes no sense. Yet it also won’t ruin the sequels for me as it implies a bigger role in ep8.

        Why does everyone assume that means he would have a larger role in E8? He lost weight for this movie. Did they say “hey Mark please lose the weight and keep it off for the next 3 years because you are only getting 10 seconds in E7 but will have a bigger role in E8”

          I say they try to squeeze as many films out of the three NOW (god forbid they croak) and they have to scramble and figure out how to film that last three without them. I know the other two films aren’t even written yet probably but try and get as MANY scenes with them while you can. MILK IT!

          “Why does everyone assume that means he would have a larger role in E8?”

          Because it is a natural setup for a larger role. You don’t have the film revolve around finding him, have the last image be of him receiving the saber (the only time he shows up according to this), then not have him at all in 8 (which is what it would mean to have a lesser role than a silent one shot cameo).
          The only reason to have the film be about finding him and then only have a teaser image of him in the end is to tease the fans for his role in ep8 (which I think is a mistake). He is clearly being set up for the role of teacher in ep8, while this one is about the mystery of where he has been and actually seeing him at the end. I don’t mind a small role at the end, but it needs to be more significant.

      If it ever came to that, which I hope it wont. But if it did there are other options to consider, it would not be a total loss. While you would probably suffer withdrawal symptoms over time you would gradually get used to the loss, as your mind pursued other more interesting Sci-fi franchises. For me starwars is at the bottom of the list anyway.

      There`s: Star trek, warhammer 40k, Aliens/ Prometheus, mass effect, Asimovs universe etc etc. Many more to add to the list. If you compare 40k universe to starwars its like a marble next to a beach ball, in size.

      I`ve always wondered about Asimovs universe and star wars. Foundation was written in the 50`s and had a planet trantor that is very similar to coruscant, and a galactic empire. Something fishy there. Who ripped off who. Me thinks mr lucas got away with some copyright.

        Lucas has always said Asimov’s Foundation series was one of his main sources of inspiration for Star Wars, and he also confirmed that Coruscant is based on Trantor. So no copyright infringement there.
        Anyway, if Star Wars is on the bottom of your list, you’re in the wrong place.

        The idea of space empires in fiction goes back at least to 1900 with Robert William Cole’s “The Struggle for Empire”. It was already a trope in sci-fi before Lucas. The same goes city planets. Both ideas have roots in Thomas Lake Harris’s “mystic” writings in the 1800’s where he depicted galactic empires and city planets.

    I agree that Abrams is not going to tease the fans with only one scene with Luke. I can see him using Lukes force ability as a guide for the new generation discovering the force. That means he may appear physically in one scene but communicate through the force during the film. He is the new Obi-Wan for this triliogy. His involvement will be instrumental through out VII, VIII, IX. As for Han, he’s a gonner. How long can you go around the Galaxy messing with bounty hunters and gangsters and get away with it? He will get a great send off but his advensures are done. Oh and just to get ppl talkin I do believe Vader will have some sort of influence on the new crew. Maybe stumble upon his hidden lair or run into his secret apprentice who he hid from the emperor. Just an idea.

    • February 21, 2015 at 9:14 pm

      I think Vader’s influence will come through Kylo. I think he wants to be the new Vader and wants to evoke his image, possibly even incorporating pieces of his burnt mask into his outfit. There are likely people who believe the Galaxy was better off during the Empire (like people who think it was better with Saddam in charge – even though they realized back then that he was a cruel, sadistic tyrant at the time), so they would respond to a leader that reminds them of Vader and the Emperor.

    I strongly dissagree with the populair
    Opinion that the ot cast should only have supporting roles and that the focus should be on the new cast…new characters…

    Sure make it look this way at the start of the movie…then…have things that happen happen for reasons that have to do with the ot…and then focus on the ot characters and continue this all the way troughout ep7 , 8 and 9
    It should really be 3 sequels to their story because that is what everybody really wants even if they think they don’t….it would also be a much more interesting story then a new introduction that is less interesting…it would also show that the makers have some balls and are not afraid to do something risky

    It is primarily about the new generation. What if we wouldn’t see Luke and Han and Leia altogether? We should be grateful that we get to at least see them in the film. And I want Mark Hamill to at least have ten minutes of scenes. That’s all I ask. I also want Alec Guiness to appear a short time in the film. It would make me so ecstatic.

            I feel like Alec Guiness should appear in The Force Awakens. It would bridge The Original Trilogy to The Sequel Trilogy and it would make me sooo ecstatic. He is one of my favorite actors and role models. He is a legendary actor and the best and the most iconic actor in The Original Trilogy. Sir Guiness needs to be an assisting character in The Force Awakens.

    A lot of Hollywood seems to live by this stupid proverb which states; “Satisfaction is the death of desire.” The whole idea is don’t give the audience what they want and they will keep wanting it and coming back hoping to get it, so the fans would return with the promise of seeing Luke in the next movie. Spielberg does it and Lucas certainly does as well. I can see Abrams doing it too. I for one tend to go back and watch a movie and the sequel BECAUSE I was satisfied. Go figure.

    As i have said on other boards for Ep 7. We all know or reasonably assume this is Harrison Fords goodbye to Star Wars film. So i see the film focusing on him and the new characters.

    Luke will most likely have a bigger role in 8 and probably 9.

    Walking out of a film you claim to love all because Luke is only in the film for 1 or 2 scenes is dumb.

    The report is obviously false – Hamill spent 6 months in the UK filming – why would he be here for 6 months and film 1 scene?

  • February 21, 2015 at 9:08 pm
    Permalink

    I completely understand the “Han dying” approach — Harrison Ford has wanted it since Jedi (or maybe even Empire) and it would follow the pattern established by the first two trilogies of having a mentor character die in the first film (Obi Wan and Qui Gon). Plus, Ford is simply too far advanced in age for the filmmakers to attempt to shoehorn him into an entire trilogy. Lastly, it seems far more fitting for Solo to die a hero’s death than to fade away in some galactic old folks home.

    However…

    Having Luke Skywalker in the film for 10 seconds at the end would be a slap in the face that could do irreparable damage to the franchise. I for one am most excited to see Hamill on screen again, more so than any of the other OT players. To not see him in TFA would be akin to going to a Jurassic Park movie and seeing a dinosaur do a cameo before the closing credits, or going to a Batman movie and watching nothing but Bruce Wayne for 2 hours. It’s not just a horrible idea, it’s bad business.

    It makes sense if Luke is only in it for a bit, especially if he’s going to be this trilogy’s Yoda. Just thinking about Luke Skywalker building and designing a new Jedi Order in Episode VIII and IX gives me a nergasm.

    What i liked in the OT was the energy between solo, skywalkers, chewie and the droids.

Point is, i like to see that energy again, the jokes from solo, the dark burden of luke, the responsibillity of leia, etc, and that mixed in this group of people. I would be very dissapointed if they dont get on an adventure together. I hope jj will have a similar feeling about this.

    I really hope this isn’t true. I know they are focusing on the new cast, but to downgrade luke to a cameo? After waiting nearly 30 years to see the reunion of our 3 heroes just for a fake out where they kill one and don’t show another at all until 2 years from now in episode 8…that just feels cruel. There is holding something back to build anticipation, and then there is just not giving the audience what they want for no reason.

    Okay time to poke the holes in this…

    If they do not meet Luke Skywalker prior to fighting Kylo Ren, how do they both fight him? with no training in the force and presumably no lightsabers.

    This also makes no mention of Any Serkis’ character. This ending also seems to contradict the assertion that Rey is not Han and Leias daughter that they previously made.

    If you ask me… someone funnelling them information didnt understand the difference between an act and a scene.

    This really… just doesnt jibe with anything else, not any of the other rumors, or behind the scenes information…

    MSW is reusing their old stockpile of “documents” for new blogging plots.

    Transcribed codes are one set of files are matched to other files codes along with shooting info.

    The codes in question can be seen from MF.com’s three dozen concept arts. The Wampa saber for example has the code 0000_JK_Sword_Wampa_130622_v013-001.dw.

    When contradictory evidence suggests otherwise MSW will backtrack then retranscribe again then new blog post with the caveat “This is probably true but might not be true but in caes it is true I will blog that I got it true leaving out the probably not true part”.

    Why does everyone assume that means he would have a larger role in E8? He lost weight for this movie. Did they say “hey Mark please lose the weight and keep it off for the next 3 years because you are only getting 10 seconds in E7 but will have a bigger role in E8”

    As much as I would hate to see Han die it makes sense. A character who started out thinking only of himself makes the ultimate sacrifice. We know Luke or Leia would have given lives without hesitation from the beginning. Han not so much.

    It had been mentioned on other forums that the average moviegoer will not notice or care that Luke is hardly in the movie, Han dies before any sort of original cast reunion, etc. That couldn’t be more shortsighted. Imagine John and Joe public talking about going to see this movie…

    John: “Hey! That new Star Wars movie is out. The original cast is in it. We’ll see Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewie, and the robots doing stuff again.”
    Joe: “Oh, cool! I had forgotten about that. It’s been a long time since those characters have done something in one of those movies. This should be fun. Let’s go.”

    * They watch the version of the movie now rumored to be true *

    There will be a $h*+ storm – the like of which have never been seen. You think there was backlash and bashing in the prequel era? You ‘aint seen nothin’!!!

    I am fine with focusing on the new characters. Honestly. But, Luke and Han never see each other? Han goes out by the hand of some punk? And neither Leia nor Luke are there to see it or be with him when he dies? No new adventure with the original cast together? We waited 32+ years for a new Star Wars movie with the original cast, and we get THIS? Luke has a cameo (no dialogue) at the end. We’ll never see Han again. We have to wait yet another 2+ years to see Luke (the hero of the saga) do anything? What a missed opportunity. Why bother to “get the band back together”?

    (Scene: End of 3rd Act: Rey attempting to hand Luke a lightsaber.)

    Luke: “Congratulations!” (spoken with a subdued sense of pride)
    Rey: “What?!” (genuinely confused; expressing incredulousness)
    Luke: “You’ve passed your first Trial on the path to becoming a Jedi.”
    Rey: “That….That was a trial?”
    Luke: “Yes. The first and not the last. The path of a Jedi is frought with continuous trial. Indeed it IS this path that separates the dark side from the light”.
    Rey: “But…So you didn’t need to be rescued at all! You didn’t ACTUALLY need my help?!!”
    Luke: “And yet…you trusted in the Force to guide you in your actions. THAT is why you passed the trial. Keep the lightsaber…It is YOURS now.”

    In the scene prior, JJ attempts to trick the audience (and, Rey) into believing that Luke has just been killed by what would appear to be a sudden and apparently insurmountable calamity. (This is Rey’s “OMG! They killed Kenny, er- Ben” moment, mirroring ANH. The difference here is Luke actually survives- so that you know he’ll be around, in the flesh, entering VIII. Han, on the other hand, is the one that doesn’t make it.)

    Absolute bullshit. For all the reasons posted at the bottom of this article. I’ll also add another reason:

    8.) No film production on earth schedules an actor for 5 months just to use them for a few days. They would be contractually obligated to pay them for that time due to union rules. The only exception would be that they are re-writing from scratch during the actual filming and they don’t know when they will need a specfic actor. That would put them way over budget. Kennedy has been at this far too long to run such a haphazzard production. The scheduling and pre-viz on something of this magnitude make it impossible.

    I think the preliminary introduction of Luke in E7 will be a nod to ANH Obi-Wan intro to Luke. New characters are caught in a world of hurt by updated accurate firing chrome trooper hunting them down. Unknown hooded figure takes them all out and saves Poe..maybe Finn. As Obi-wan saved Luke from Raiders….he returns the favor. JJ has done this alot with the Trek reboots.

    Luke will be in the movie kicking @ss but not unmasked until near the end of the film. We will not notice as the hooded figure will be a bit too aggressive with his jedi powers and think Sith rather then Jedi Knight. IMO BTW!

    Luke should have been the lead, not Boyega. Harrison should have had a big role, and Carrie Fisher. They are blowing the only chance to have the Big 3 star in the movie. JJ has clearly said they are old and supporting characters. He makes Lewyn Davis or whatever the lead. And Daisy and Boyega.

    I think I’m just gonna skip the new movies. I was reading some of my Star Wars books again and I just can’t let them rip out my version of the Star Wars universe. I know all the haters that didn’t read the books will get mad at me like always but so many of us invested our time and money into Star Wars for years and in the blink of an eye… It no longer exists. I still think they could have easily picked up where the books left off. The only major character that died was Chewbaca. Luke could have given a little narration in the beginning about rebuilding the jedi order and all the ups and down over the years. We could have gotten glimpses of Thrawn, Anakin Solo and the Yuuzhan Vong leading us into the new threat the Galaxy faced. Sure Han could be killed off but at least there were many fantastic years of him being a hero. Oh well, in the end it’s all about the dollar. I’m sure I’ll see the movies when they come on cable but I’m not giving more of my money to Disney so they can rewrite the universe again in a few years. Maybe episodes 1-3 were just a dream? We can have Yoda wake up and realize he needs to change the universe. The possibilities are endless. Yes I’m rambling and complaining and stuck in the old canon universe so feel free to insult me.

            I would love to see updated and revamped versions of a lot of the Non-sith non-imperial enemies.

            Nagai, Ssi-ru, Vong, Tevetha, Hapans could even work as enemies…

            There is no reason to throw out ideas, even if the ideas are bad. Bad ideas can be fixed up a bit.

            The vong are one of the least of the awful ideas from STar Wars, most people just dont like them on the grounds of “nuh uh I don-wanna hav-dem” like they are freaking infants or something.

            Although the effects of the war, and the scale of it… felt a little extreme, and even the Vong being from another galaxy felt a little bit useless.

            Honestly though, firs priority should be to ressurect all dark jedi/force users in the service of the emperor as inquisitors and inquisitor related personnel.

            give more structure to the force-users in the service of evil.

    So, if Luke is in the movie for one scene of about 10 seconds, taking the lightsaber from Rey then we will see his whole involvement in the movie in the next trailer?
    If they show Luke in a trailer and Luke is in the movie for only one scene then they have to show this scene and with it the ending which would be ridiculous.

    Now what about Luke being so powerful that he pulls Star Destroyers from the orbit? What about him fighting?

    Is there any real evidence that Hamill was actually scheduled for 5 months of shooting in the UK????

    What a bunch of cry babies… You guys remind me of Luke and Anakin whining all the time. Get OVER it, it’s just rumors….

    People saying they’ll never see another star wars movie again if Luke is in it for 2 or so seconds. You will watch the others!

    Get real people… Relax…

    Maybe what the person reporting this saw was the end of the trailer, not the end of the movie? Having luke appear right at the finale of the first real trailer would be exactly how I would play it given the choice.

    The 3 days in Skellig Michael island were not only to film the last scene, but also pre-shots for the opening of the next film, and in addition the brief scenes that hint of Luke’s whereabouts through out the film. Fans need to be prepared for a visually fantastic film holding together a paper thin cliche script. Said enough.

    JJ Abrams is now messing with everyone. I don’t believe any of these rumors anymore, although they’re fun to read.

    Riduculous rumor. Hey its interesting, gets people talking and clicking. But why would anyone embarass themselves by claiming its a big spoiler like that? In the prequel days there was more teamwork involved in thr community when trying to piece together the movie. Most of it was MilleniumFalcon.com while TFN actively tried to make sense of everything while throwing out all the bogus stuff.

    But I’m not expecting a miracle film from Abrams and wouldn’t be shocked if the ending was that watered down. He is in famous for rhyming more than George Lucas. Its a matter of who is tasked of screaming “No” in the money shot like Luke when Han is struck down.

    Remember when it was “confirmed” that Dooku had a “flamesaber” and Sidious had an “axesaber”? Let’s see, what else was “confirmed”? Ah! Han was going to rescue Chewie and the Life Debt would be seen on screen. It’s all click bait, but it’s fun!

    Star Wars fans sure are weird when it comes to movie news. The kool-aid drinkers of other fandoms all have their hidden evils but don’t think theres been so many hardcore headbobbers when it comes to fake rumors. Its like accepting facts from the Iraqi Minister of Information. Most of you I assume are from California. Makes little sense. I thought you liberals were free thinkers.

    LOL This latest rumor is flat out dumb. Don’t worry, folks. I think we’ll see just enough of Luke in TFA.

    This rumour sounds like it’s coming directly from Arndt’s script and reeks of GL. “What, Sam L Jackson in Star Wars? That’s gonna be bad ass!” And then he just sat there. I hope all these rumours come from Arndt’s script, (including names like Rey, Poe, Kylo Ren and what not) deliberately leaked by JJ so he can gloat over fan reactions to the horrible GL treatment and laugh his ass off

    This rumor is too dumb to even report…..there is no way that this is his only involvement…for one ..I assume J.J knows that a move like that would pretty much end his carreer as the whole world would give him the middle finger…and two…why would hammill shed 40 pounds just to do one scene..LOL…..hell for that scene they wouldn’t even need mark….just a hand actor….dumb

    If Luke only appears at the End, how explain the flashbacks???

    They could be filming it the same way as lord of the rings by doing all three films at the same time and not filming the scenes in any particular order, I think it’s a good idea to just have Luke appear at the end to receive his lightsaber and if it’s the one he lost when he got his arm chopped off by vader that’s been found after it fell from the cloud city that would be awesome!
    I think these films could be really good and alot better than those awful prequels that Lucas made a complete arse of….

    I don’t really see how they can be filming parts for EPs 8/9 now, as those films are going to have different directors who would probably not want to start a film having to fit in their own work with a bunch of pre-existing scenes, & may want/need reshoots etc. Unless they’re trying to shoot as much as possible with Mark and Carrie before their weight changes again too much 🙂

    “MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD” haha gimme a break….whoever even decided to post this dumb article and thought it was newsworthy is a tool.

    edit: well i just realized this was posted by viral hide…so………lol.. there’s that

    I think this rumor is bunk. I’m with everyone on that. It did, however, cross my mind that it COULD be true and that all of the filming Mark has done over the past year could be in preparation for a stand-alone film of Luke Skywalker’s story. What if we barely see him in EP VII but we later get to see what he was doing during the events leading up to and during the events of EP VII? Perhaps he’s been working from behind the scenes and we get to go back and see what he was up to? Sort of a Rosenkratnz and Guildenstern are Dead type of film? I know it’s not bloody likely but it crossed my mind so I thought I’d share.

      “Most of you I assume are from California. Makes little sense.”

      The world is a big place, and SW is huge all over that very place. Moreover, like this site itself, which is not run by US folk, I bet that not even half of the comments here are posted by people from the US, let alone a single state in that country.

      In short, your assumption makes even less sense…unless you’re trolling. But trolling or no, it’s hilarious. Senseless but hilarious indeed, lol.

    What a clever misdirection, this is…

    The details of this rumor do not belong with the name Luke Skywalker… these details belong to the “uber Sith” that Andy is playing.

    Vader’s lightsaber does not open the ancient Sith tomb and it holds no significance outside of the Skywalker bloodline… so all of the speculation about the weapon that Luke lost at Bespin is pure rubbish.

    Hate to break it, but Vader’s lost saber means more to fans than it matters in-universe.

    There must be another source out there for SW sequel info. The prequels had multiple if not numerous sources online. One guy looking at 2 details but is missing a lot can’t connect two scenes or keep “Making Star Wars Rumors” as it were by using conjecture. If economists used this to predict inflation rates, the world would be in complete economic chaos and in a world war. I guess thats why modern scholars are rarely synonymous with Star Wars rumormongerers.

    All I said was that it would be cool if it was Luke and Anakins old lightsaber I think it would ruin it if they gave it special powers

    They can change it as they please. All potential Luke eventualities have credibility. I hope they shoot many alternate scenes and create mini movies or chapters, and commercial length spots revealing a key plot to the saga. What if the heroes took a different path instead? Release these in the future to keep people invested.

    So Luke will be in a cave, and will be evil and or go mad,and watching a sith tomb and will be in the movie for just one scene. Right.

    In Disney they sell movies, and they said this will be the movie the fans are waiting for. Why using Luke for just one scene. You can have him doing a great mentor role with a couple of cool action scenes with just ten minutes. I can believe that they may fail in making a good story. But showing only one scene of Luke. You may like their movies or not but they are no fools.
