SPOILER Luke SPOILER (Also Ridley, Driver, Lupita, & MvS)

Not even funny anymore, lol...

yeah, i know... deserved :/

 

Something tells me Hamill will have decent screen time. He was present for nearly all of the shoot. Anthony Daniels finished shooting a long time ago. HE won't have a lot of screen time.

 

It sounds like some force sensitive kids (Ridley and maybe Boyega) are drawn out of hiding by Luke or another faction. Maybe Luke's been compromised and is being used to bring the hidden force sensitives out of hiding?

This was a tactic used on Rebels last week.

 

Like I think Kyle said,this movie starting to look complex and a good set up for the rest of the story.
We are going to leave the cinemas beggin that time will go fast enough for the second installment to premier.Giving us some damned answers..hahah

 

Saying Luke is the Warlord isn't saying Luke is a cyborg... and we know now from the most recent spoiler that the Warlord went through a lot of revisions... I know your source said that Luke isn't a cyborg, but (and I have asked this point blank before and never gotten a straight answer) is there anything that you have heard that would prevent Luke from being the Warlord and the Warlord not being a cyborg... that the Warlord is not a cyborg at all... even the concept with him and the helmet, when we knew him as the Grave Robber... did we net explore the potential it was a mask?

If that were true, then you would both be right...

I'm thinking Norman Bates...

I think the beard was the red herring... and the specific attention that was drawn to it a guise to throw us off from believing this could be him... but that mask could hide a beard...

You are the boss... but the OP could be reporting accurately what he heard and be wrong... although I for one find it fits and does not contradict...

Let's just get this knocked out... do you know :Luke is a cyborg, or Luke is this character... ie, can he be this character and not be a cyborg?

Read the review of this concept... and this sounds like the snow cap mountain scene... just sayin...

I will say I was in Wal-Mart today and noticed a high amount of Star Wars (non-toy) related merchandise... I was looking for a battery for the bike and trying to get it back on the road before nightfall, but I will try to go back and see what all they had. More than likely, the same displays in your Wal-Mart...

He spent a significant amount of time in ESB choreographing the fight scenes...

 

But then finds out that it's actually Daisy he's really after?

 

@spectacle Will we get to see the transformation of Luke into a cyborg, or does he play a cyborg throughout the entire movie (albeit limited screen time)?

Also - the million dollar question - did your source reveal who or what is the ancient fear?

 

I have to agree with Viral Hide completely. This time around JJ's Mistery Box is actually an OPEN box, full of completely contradictory stuff, a puzzle that is impossible to solve because 50% (or more) of the pieces are not the "right" ones. Misdirection at its best. If this is actually the case, chapeau to JJ and Bad Robot.

 

Refresh my memory.... Where did the Warlord title come from?

 

Luke is a cyborg in this, in the same way as he wore Darth Vader's costume in TESB. It just doesn't make sense and completely contradicts and renders moot what happened in the OT.

 

To be a dreadful pedant, Luke's been a cyborg since the closing moments of The Empire Strikes Back As for all other rumours, I'll believe them once we see good quality photos.

 

But this directly contradicts the other rumors we've been reading. Mark Hamill has definitely filmed more than one scene, he's also been in at least one scene with Han Solo, where he was not cybernetically enhanced. There has just been too much information out there that contradicts your story.

 

Why would an actor, who was present on set for almost the entire shoot, be in 1 scene at the end? To NOT see Luke throughout the entire movie would make the audience automatically guess "well its the end now and he hasn't been seen yet, so that HAS TO be Luke standing there". Abrams would not want that 'subpar' surprise.

 

There's the vague possibility that Luke appears quite normal for his earlier scenes and then maybe revealed to have undergone cybernetic enhancements quite late in the feature ... not during the film but before, during his long period of absence ... and some severe degree of injury scrapes off some of his skin and exposes gears, circuits and wiring beneath at the story's end.

 

Would definitely be shocking, but again, it would render the OT pointless and doesn't explain the concept art of the cyborg collecting artifacts etc... The cyborg has to be established during the film and so does Luke skywalker. My interpretation of the rumours woUld indicate they are separate characters.
As has been mentioned in other thread(s), there is still some speculation as to who Domhnall Glesson is playing


Edit- this has been mentioned already. What if the cyborg has been pretending to be Luke sky walker throughout the whole movie.

 

I'm not suggesting that Luke, by being cyborged, has turned to evil ... he may have been simply injured to a degree that warrants ugly extensive surgery. That would be a red herring cliffhanger - the audience worries he's finally turned to the Dark Side, but in Episode VIII we see he's survived temptation again and has managed to use his bionics in his favour. He's gone through the Dark Side and emerged scarred but mighty.

I'd rather he remained mostly organic - I'm not somebody who gets turned on by battle armour, novelty lightsabres and 'Terminator-level' cybernetics. Just some thoughts in case I'm wrong.

 

To completely transform a character like that, just to create a shock, seems unnecessary. But I like your thinking.
