thenewperson Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 What are you expecting from Luke in Force Awakens? One thing I am expecting from Luke lifting an X-Wing out of swamp water. Another thing I expect from Luke is if he gets into a bar fight instead of getting knocked out he takes out his lightsaber and cuts off someones arm.

BrianDavion Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 you're expecting too much, he's gonna be the "Obi-wan" of the new trilogy. he'll mostly serve as a teacher to the new generation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeneas_Falco Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hopefully he gets some suitably epic things to do in the new film. By this point he should be the Yoda of his generation. I also hope he gets to be the one to crush Kylo Ren, rather than one of the younger Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavSalco Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) What I want to see is him understanding that love is not a bad thing and the Jedi should not forbid it. It's his love to his father that saved Anakin and eventually returned Vader from the Dark Side. Yoda and Obi-Wan were ignorants. They strongly believed that Vader cannot be saved and they insisted to fight him. They treated love as something that completely contradicts the Jedi code. It's Luke's emotions that moved Vader. I hope guys at Lucasfilm didn't forget about that. The Expanded Universe understood Luke's motivations in RotJ and expanded (heh) his future in the right direction. I hope Abrams won't make him a full loner/hermit. Edited October 6, 2015 by PavSalco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeneas_Falco Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 There are some rumors that the Rey, one of the characters we've seen in released photos and the teaser trailer, is Luke's daughter. Of course this is a fan rumor...so, grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roblinb Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Luke will probably only be in a few (but key) scenes in the Force Awakens. I do not believe (nor have I heard) that we'll see him in any kind of combat. I do believe that he might have a larger role in Episode VIII, as a mentor or teacher. I do think we will eventually we will see him fight someone, just not in the first movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolvinKut Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 What I don't understand in this Force Awakens is why they aren't following the EU and putting the focus on Leia's and Han's kids who are the future of the Jedi Order. Jana and Jacen if I remember correctly. also Anakin Solo. I'll be dissapointed if we don't get to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyerix Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I bet we don't see much of Luke. Episode 8 is where I think we will see a lot of him. What I don't understand in this Force Awakens is why they aren't following the EU and putting the focus on Leia's and Han's kids who are the future of the Jedi Order. Jana and Jacen if I remember correctly. also Anakin Solo. I'll be dissapointed if we don't get to see them. Because they don't exist anymore officially. Waved the hand, never happened.

Aeneas_Falco Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 There is a rumor floating around that Luke only appears at the end of the movie. It might not be anything more than a fan rumor, but if true it would explain why Luke isn't on the poster and didn't appear in the trailer.

DogMeat Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Remember RotJ? Luke turns and I think is now in charge of the dark side forces.... watch V3 & V4. You can see the change as it happens. Hammel did an awesome job. This guy puts up a real good detailed account of why and why most of us missed it all as it was happening on screen http://observer.com/2015/10/luke-skywalker-sith-lord/ Luke Turns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeneas_Falco Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Having Luke return as a villain would literally be the worst idea JJ Abrams could come up with for the new films. It would completely demolish his character development in the original trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent read regarding the link you posted. Although I think Luke will be something like Kenobi's character in the upcoming films, I can certainly see the flip side with him turning. It would make a much more interesting movie, versus him playing the same role as Kenobi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogMeat Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 If you read teh entire thing and then think about it.. Well, it just makes sense. I don't think it will hurt the story line at all. I think it would help enhance it. Luke being bad... Just makes sense. But.. it may not happen as Disney has said what is to be used and not to be used. What is cannon and what is not...so Luke seems same for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Luke morph into a villain for the next film would literally be tossing his character development from the original series into the rubbish bin, just for the sake of shock value. What a twist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a twist... Good news is that the people who think Luke is Kylo Ren have no idea what's going on with the new movies and have clearly not paid attention to any interviews or announcements. They should refrain from posting to be honest. Just ignore them. Luke isn't turning to the dark side. Edited October 30, 2015 by Rhyltran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogMeat Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Never said he was turning or had turned. The article was a good read and gave some solid idea. Take it as you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
