    We know Luke and Leia have the ability to sense each other's presence or location .......

    So what goes down between the two that the connection is severed and Luke is able to go AWOL ?

    My theory is Luke severes the link due to the guilt he carries after Solo jrs apparent death ( Kylo Ren )

    I assume Luke starts to train his own child ( Rey ) and Leia and Hans child ( Kylo ) in the ways of the force . The Knights of Ren attack taking Han and Leias child to be trained as Kylo Ren . I think Luke , Leia and Han will presume the child dead ?

    This is all just speculation of course ......

    Maybe the kid is just evil and frustrated because his father is not force sensitive and his mother untrained.

    I could definetly see frustration playing a big part of Kylos character ...... Perhaps the frustration of not being able to live up to the mantle of Darth Vader will be his major frustration ?

    Your entire idea is based upon the rumors that Luke is in hiding, captured, or in exile during this movie. Perhaps he is on a mission that he and Leia are in agreement upon. Several times in canon once an individual taps into the force their presence can be felt by other force users, such as Luke exposing himself to Vader and the Emperor once they felt him using the force at the end of a New Hope, or Ezra sensing Kanan's presence. I certainly hope when we watch the film in December we are all so surprised at how far off our leaks and sources were.

    I think the evidence that Luke has left behind the Galaxy is overwhelming

    - His disheveled appearance
    - The remoteness of Skelig
    - His screen time rumour
    - the fact the search for Luke and or his LightSabre is a big part of the plot

    Question: what would the benefit be of Luke having a child as opposed to Kylo and Rey both being Solo kids?

    And in Weapon of a Jedi, Jessica Pavla, Blue 3, talks with C3pio in a timeframe just before TFA and has only ever heard stories about Luke. She doesn't know him and is excited to here a story about him from he past. In her eyes he is a legend.

    I hear what you guys are saying, but I'm just trying to keep all possibilities on the table. Luke may be absent from the action, but there are an infinite amount of reasons that could be happening, and Leia and Han may or may not know his whereabouts. I think we will see a Leia with higher levels of discernment then we when we left her at the end of ROTJ. I think she will be able to sense her brother's presence. I haven't got my copy yet, but I'm told in the new Shattered Empire comic #3 she can sense Darth Maul was present, or his former presence, when she visits Naboo. That is a sign of her sensibility levels.

    Well you just know in Ep 8 there is going to be dramatic scene between Luke and Rey in wich Luke will say ' no , I am your farther ' to Rey !

    I'm calling that right now : )

    Also Rey will probaly lose a hand at this point ......

    Exactly ! Luke feels like a myth in the galaxy at this point !

    Luke is a myth like The Jedi are a myth, like the Sith are myth. I think that the galaxy has never personally seen Luke but have only heard of his heroics. Basically, Outside of the members of The Rebel Alliance during The OT, Luke has been a rare citing...which, I think, would turn him into a legend.

    I hope not. It would be terrible. Why make the same story with different characters ? Such a lack of imagination would be so disappointing.
