Luke Skywalker's Wife?

Anakin's problem wasn't his love for pad me, it was his FEAR of losing her. Just like yoda didn't care that Luke had attachments to his friends, only that Luke FEARED so greatly that they would be harmed. Yoda himself said in the PT that fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger to hate, hate to suffering. But Luke showed that he conquered all those emotions when he refused to destroy his father. This, Luke having human emotional attachments to someone (a la a wife) is reasonably safe. I feel like he would pass that on to the future enervation a of Jedi, that attachment isn't evil, but fear corrupts all.

 

It all makes sense. I know we are talking about Luke, but one of the things I'm more interested in this new canon is how Leia reacted after Endor to the fact of being Anakin's daughter. For what we know so far from TFA, I don't reckon she might have fully accepted the fact. Sorry to go away from the topic, but you mentioned adoptive parents and thought about the love Queen Breha and Bail had for Leia and Leia for them.

 

I meant to quote a different comment of yours @Bandini sorry.

 

That is the point, attachment lead to the fear of losing the one you're attached to.

 

In Episode VII, neither Han Solo, Leia or Chewbacca (!) mention anything to either Rey or Finn anything about Luke being married. Why is everyone assuming Luke got married? What if Luke doesn't know he had a daughter and the mother kept it a secret from him? And there hasn't even been official confirmation that Rey is even Luke's daughter!

 

I still don't get why it is important. As if a girl has to be connected to someone to be force sensitive. Couldn't Rey just be Rey ? Who cares Obi Wan parents are ? Who cares Yoda's parents are ? I don't get the point.

Just asking myself if Rey's parents are noone, some people are going to leave the theater and start a riot.

It had never been noticed that the Force was hereditary. That's the point of the Force, it is everywhere, everytime.

 

This is nostalgia. You can't live in the past. Hamill is 65 he won't get his youth back and Snoke isn't Plagueis either ...

I remember Hamill saying that the only woman Luke was attracted for in the movies ( at the time Trailer 2 was released ) was Leia and he was expecting Luke to be alone with droids to deal with that because it was disturbing.

 

Kylo Ren is a Skywalker. Everybody dodged this bullet eveytime.

 

There was also talk of another actress, Geraldine James, being in Episode VIII and possibly playing Rey's Mom/Luke's Whatever.

The funny thing is, both she and Laura Dern could be interpreted as being "the right age" for Luke's significant other.

Lemme explain.

Geraldine James is about a year older than Mark Hamill, so she would not look out of place as Mrs. Skywalker next to him.

BUT, IIRC Luke is a lot younger in the movies than Mark Hamill is in real life. If we go by the canonical timeline, Luke is not 63-64, but more like 53-54. If you go by Luke's presumed age in the movie, then 47-year old Laura Dern is not such a bad fit, either. There is a difference of around 6 years, which is smaller than the decade or so that would separate Luke from Geraldine James' real age.

Also, assuming she's playing Momma Rey/Mrs. Skywalker, she may already be dead...in which case she's the right age for a force ghost or flashback, assuming she died 5 years or more prior to Episode VII.

Whoever Laura Dern's playing, though, I hope she has a bigger role than just getting blown up by Star Killer Base II.

 

THANK YOU! A lot of people is taking that for granted.

Great post. I mean, there were other FS people around other than the Skywalkers. At first we thought all that was left after the Order 66 for the Jedis were Obi-Wan and Yoda, but then from Star Wars Rebels we have learned that, aside the offspring of Anakin, there are at least three more FS people: Kanan, Ezra and Ahsoka.

 

I rather focus on what is going to happen with Rey, her story, her future than her past and who's she related for.

And the Force choosed Ezra aswell as Leia and Luke. I'm not sure Ezra's parents were FS, he's random and it's good like that.

From what I saw on screen, the only Skywalker Rey have accointance with is Anakin. Every damn hint in the movie leads to Anakin. And none to Luke.

This is just what I saw not what I've heard off.

 

True. I'm more excited about what is ahead for Rey

Ezra sounds like he was a Muggle-born lol. (sorry, again making connections to HP).

 

What is a Muggle born ??

If they know it, it is well hidden ^^

Nobody seems to care about "the girl" during the whole movie. Except Finn.

 

Yes, the movies will settle the debates... hopefully

Sadly, in the meantime many a friendship shall become a casualty...

All this has gotten me thinking: what if The Empire Strikes Back had been released in the age of the internet?

There would likely be polls saying "do you believe Vader's Luke's Father", and there would be arguments against it, like...

"We only have the word of a psychotic killer - that's not confirmation!"
"He wants Luke to join him - of course he'll tell him he's his Father!"
"If he really was his father, why didn't Obi-wan and Yoda tell him before he left? Makes no sense!"
"Vader being Luke's father would totally ruin Star Wars!"

People would have had to wait until Return of the Jedi and Yoda's "your father he is" for the debate to end.
