    I meant that I've seen half of these leaked images. The rest are new to me too.

    While most of the female concept art looks close to Daisy Ridley (who was cast in February according to reports), the one with the disfigured man standing against the woman looks like Billie Lourd (Carrie Fisher's real life daughter). Either way I didn't need to see concept art to have guessed that would be what it looked it because I already did guess correctly (female brunette (or in need of a dye job) with Shmi/Padme/Leia resemblance was the target casting for Ridley's role.)

    More thought... the last picture... the burned out helmet of Vader... is titled Zorro... as in, "Mask of"

    It would be a very strange reference to call the helmet, unless it had meaning...

    In the story, the original Zorro (Hopkins) escapes from prison to find his long-lost daughter (Zeta-Jones) and avenge the death of his wife against the corrupt governor (Wilson).

    Didn't we hear a rumor that Luke was in jail?

    And if he becomes this masked raider who is seeking revenge over the death of his wife, wouldn't perhaps Daisy be trying to stop him... and might she unmask him to find he is Luke... and wouldn't that make Daisy Luke's daughter?

    If Luke escapes, wouldn't people look for him? Wouldn't his daughter be a good place to start? Might Boyega go look for her as a lead to him...

    Wouldn't an elite squadron of troopers, like the chromies, be hot on the trail to find Luke, not chasing Boyega, but following him on the trail to Luke...

    And when Boyega finds Daisy, and shows her Luke's lightsaber... she knows its him... she knows he escaped... and when they leave, the Imperial spy, MvS reports, "they are off"

    I think we just found the plot to the new movie... this makes sense... more than anything else I have seen or heard, this makes sense... it can tie in every damn plot point seen so far...

    Here are my thoughts:

    Vader's helmet - it's going to be a nice nod to the fans. Perhaps the villain will try to impersonate Vader and Luke will try to hunt him down?
    Wampa saber - definitely looks like what Christie has. It's both feminine and knightly. It could potentially be Ridley's, but I think we've established that she finds the lightsaber - it shouldn't be custom-made for her.
    Millenium Falcon drawings - TIDMADT has it right - it's a definite proof that the images have been leaked. There is one more thing to consider, however. JJ might have anticipated the leaks and leaked a mixed bag of information so as to deceive us ;). A bit too elaborate to be true but we will never know...
    The Carousel size comparison - why is one Falcon smaller than the other? Why does the smaller one have "fangs" sticking out? Is that another ship?
    Pirate's cove - sounds pretty sweet! I'd love to see some pirate characters (i.e. smugglers and their allies) in the next SW.
    Montross - he looks as if he's seen a lot of action in his day. Could easily be a retired soldier. From what I gather, he's the "call to the adventure" kinda guy - what Obi-Wan was to Luke, what Gandalf was to Bilbo and Frodo. I like it that he's half machine but not a villain (probably?)
    The blue cantina creature - he seems like a trader of sorts. Will he accompany Daisy on her adventure? Is it the mo-cap character we've heard of?
    Daisy Ridley's costume - it does its job well. I guess I'm a sucker for tomboys, though, so it's hard for me to be impartial here.
    Chewbacca with a mechanical arm - is he going to lose it? Will it be there from the beginning and the artist has just given us two options? There's more questions than answers but we will have to see.
    X-Wing towing pig - I guess Ridley will have her "cute" friend at the beginning of the movie. It seems that she's leading a profitable operation here, getting scrap from all these downed fighters and walkers. She has to have some reason to leave it behind! Perhaps a lightsaber is worth A LOT these days?
    WIP concept in the desert - a wonderful scene. It reminds me of Mad Max and Star Wars all at once. Love it. And the Falcon's there. This is clearly Daisy's planet (probably Tatooine?). Why is the Falcon there? Is the pilot (Han) looking for Luke?
    Tie troopers - the rumors were not lies, which is great. It's great that we can finally see how Ties are stored!
    Downed Tie fighter - definitely a desert planet. I'm guessing it's Boyega's, who's "jumped ship" and got shot on the way to the planet. Great picture. Would hang it on the wall if it was of better quality ;)
    Throne Room - OT concept art, anyone? This seems like the final confrontation to me. Or is it the "cave" scene? I think the person entering is Ridley.
    Pod junker and land speeder - some innovative concept art here. These engines sure pack a lot of punch. Or is this ship used for pulling like the pig?
    Pod Falcon - this one reminds me of two things - the Wing Commander game series (Hamill played the main character in the third part!) and Firefly/Serenity. I guess this one's going to play a significant part. Is it Ridley's ship? Seems like it (the picture below suggests it)
    Pod Bike - looks like a part of the Pod Falcon used for travelling on planet surface. Wonderful! Is the pilot Ridley? Probably.
    Skellig castle - I guess this is where the throne room's located. But maybe that's where Luke teaches? He was at the island and so was Ridley.
    Hangar greenwood - not much to say about that one apart from the fact that it really reminds me of the hangar in ANH. But it's not on Tatooine, I think. There's a hint of green here and there. Is it the forest planet? The other picture though clearly shows the area we're very familiar with. So it's a forest planet.
    Massassi hangar - very atmospheric. It could easily be Yavin 4. Is it where the pirates are located?
    Knight trooper - this settles it. I discussed these guys in the thread I started some time ago "knights of the triangular table".
    Grave robber - is this the artifact-seeking man we've been told about? It sure looks like the villain of the movie. I don't think it could be Luke but he's clearly in love with the concept of Vader. Perpahs he will put on his mask?
    Dark knight (grave robber) and Daisy Ridley - Is it her? It must be an early concept art if it is. She seems to be under his influence. Who's he threatening? Luke? Han?
    Daisy Ridley fighting the dark knight - this is going to be so great! It looks like the ice forest world. She's clearly deflecting a blaster shot. Is she still under the influence of the dark knight? Is the person in the background hoping to change her mind and make her "snap out of it"? This movie is going places, and not all of them are going to be cute and sweet, that's for sure!
    The saber discovery by Boyega and Ridley - it reminds me of ANH and Luke. They have no idea what it is. The blue creature might be the same one as the one Daisy met earlier (the "trader"). The robot seems cute!
    Daisy Ridley's house - it's extremely well put together. The rumors were true! The empire fought for every planet, that's for sure! And there's this heavy ship with big thrusters hidden inside as well! Can't wait to see the interior of an AT-AT!

    Been looking over the art... download them... look at the names...

    Originally (in the zip) it is called "Grave Robber & Daisy Ridley" but in the listing it is "Dark Knight & Daisy Ridley"

    It ain't "Dark Knight" as in "dark side evil"

    It's "Dark Knight" as in Batman... they done killed Luke's wife and he has gone hog wild... he is the big baddie, and he ain't evil, he's just pissed... he is sacrificing himself so that others don't have to...

    The Grave Robber is Luke Skywalker... and there is your twist...

    Somebody... for the love of God... somebody check me... tell me where I am wrong in this... tell me the flaws in my logic...

    They capture Luke and kill his wife... Daisy goes into hiding on Tattooine because when you want to hide a Skywalker, you stick them on Tattooine... that's why the child of a hero of the Rebellion is hiding as a scavenger... everyone thinks he is dead in the attack, they don't know he is in prison...

    Luke escapes...

    MvS is watching Daisy... they know she is there, they are content to watch her in case Luke surfaces... she is bait...

    Luke has been there, as the Grave Robber... something happens and he escapes again... but he looses the lightsaber... it gets found and brought to Daisy... THIS is the bastard that killed my father... and I am going after him...

    Track him to his lair... THERE he is...

    No, I am your father...

    and they followed you here

    You started off by making an assumption and then fit your story around that assumption. You haven't presented anything that has any more weight than any other theory. Maybe the zorro reference is nothing more than Luke being masked for the duration and that's it.

    Don't think he has... think he is pissed, on the run... in the wild... hidden in a cave on Skellig Michael...

    You are right... you are 100% right... I have (I believe) found a theory that ties all the rumors in together...

    And what you do with a theory is test it... let's find a flaw in it... I am not being arrogant, I am honestly saying let's look at my idea critically and see if we can punch holes in it...

    I agree with you, but it's a little blurry and it may just be the way it was drawn.

    I think it would be really hard to explain that Luke had a wife that was killed. Revealing himself as the father is a bit of a stretch - we've already done that in Star Wars. Daisy might be LOOKING for her father and get herself in trouble. I believe Luke might be on the run/chasing someone but I find it impossible that he would join the dark side or get that disfigured.

    I don't see him as disfigured... the hand (which really is the only cyborg part we see) he lost in ESB... I think the facial covering is a mask (look at the lightened version of the image)

    I don't think he broke bad... I don't think he is evil... I think he is going through the moralistic question of what is good and evil...

    Yes, from the Zorro reference I take the wife and daughter part... yes... I freely admit that...

    What if Luke is using his power to try to (in the same vein as Batman ala "Dark Knight") do what needs to be done to bring justice... from that point of view, Luke would be no more evil than Batman...

    And let's not forget the ongoing thing between JJ and the director of the new Batman movie...

    It would appear that is a U-wing type ship in the belly of the AT-AT,.. Daisy's ride!

    I understand what you're saying, but that doesn't make your theory right. You've combined speculation together to create a story. It doesn't mean you're wrong either of course. I just think your story holds no more weight than anything else we've heard, and with such little information to go on, there are loads of different stories anyone can come up with.
