The Force Awakens Luke Skywalker - Mark Hamill

[Loden Greatstorm]

The moment we finally see Luke on screen, will be a moment long remembered.

 

[ThePhantasm]

While I know the spoilers are out there and are accurate, I wish people who have no interest in reading the spoilers could speculate and theorize without being shot down by those "in the know."

Maybe we need a spoiler-free speculation thread.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I wouldn't mind because the closer this movie gets, I don't think I'll be hanging out here much longer. But I still love coming here and don't want to be hampered by spoilers.

Plus it's a thread, so I don't see the problem. Not a whole forum which are always ghost towns.

 

[The Caped Knight]

He's a bit of a boy, ain't he? A bit of a boy.

He was around 21 in ANH, EMB takes place three years later so he's probably 24/25 with RTJ a year later making him 26 and now TFA is 30 years later so Luke is ???

 

[Asteroid-Man]

From someone not reading spoilers, I feel like Rey and/or Kylo will either be Leia's kids or Luke's (continuing the new films with the next gen of Skywalkers).

I feel like the reason we haven't seen any of Luke is that he has become a recluse (if they're his kids, maybe his wife was killed because of his own actions, which maybe him depressed? If not, I don't know what could make him a recluse, but I think it's more likely that than him being a force ghost and WAAAAAY more likely then him falling to the dark side).

That being said, I think around halfway through the film, we'll see him hooded (like in the trailer) and the first time we fully see him will be in that fight with Kylo and Finn and I think Luke will jump in to save him. I could see this fight either playing out much like it does with Obi and Vader, oooor he just straight up survives, ooooor he gets killed by Kylo or Andy Serkis's character which will make the audience go "OH ****!!!"


If you've read spoilers, don't tell me if I'm right or wrong. I don't want to know.

I thought he was 18-21-22 in the OT. That would make him around 52 now.

 

[titansupes]

He's 19 in ANH isn't he?

 

[Gianakin_]

18 or 19, I guess, yeah.

 

[CommanderConnor]

19 in A New Hope, 22 in Empire Strikes Back & 23 in Return of the Jedi. So he is 53 in The Force Awakens.

In comparison, Obi-Wan was 57 in A New Hope.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

Do you think JJ is using Luke the way he used Spock or should I say Spock Prime in the new Trek movies? or will it be different?

 

[kickass]

How many years are inbetween each OT film? Is it 3 years inbetween each movie? I always thought it was 2 years between ANH/ESB and 1 year between ESB/ROTJ

 

[Gianakin_]

3 between ANH-ESB and 1 between ESB-RotJ.

And, TheAQU4M4N, what do you mean?

 

[Octoberist]

Why did it take them so long to rescue Han if it's a yer in between Empire and Jedi?

 

[Gianakin_]

In the old EU, the Shadows of the Empire events delayed the hell out of them.

Now, no idea.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Well they are fighting a war and they needed a plan. I would think Lando was embedded for sometime before the droids arrived. Also Luke's abilities have grown quite a bit, so he has definitely had time to work on it.

A broken link is all you have to say to that?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Too be fair, the Star Wars Big 3 were the original "make it up as you go along" group. Harry Potter's Golden Trio has nothing on them.

 

[matt47]

Gotta admit though it was an awful plan. Luke could have entered first while everyone was asleep, choked the guards, mind trick anyone in his path, unfreeze han and walk out.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yeah, that would have never worked and would have probably ended up badly. First question, how does he get by the door?

Amen to that... t:

 

[matt47]

How does he get by the door in the actual movie? Am I missing something? Doesn't he just walk in.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Whose hand was frozen?

 

[Octoberist]

Hand Solo.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Sounds like a porno.
