SPOILER Luke's location during the "I have it" scene with Artoo

I find it interesting that StarWars7News makes it's first point about this scene not being a flashback but being after the Kylo Ren events. This is going in comoplete contradiction to MSW, who are saying the scene is a flashback from the Jedi Academy, no?

 

But if that is the case, how much of what MSW has been saying can we believe? Not that I was 100% behind everything they were saying but still. They seem pretty confident in their reporting.

 

I personally still disagree that the "I have it" scene is Jakku but that's my opinion alone

 

Another thread? We are already discussing this here:
http://thecantina.starwars7news.com/index.php?threads/r2d2-what-do-we-know.2405/
And I personally don't think that having to sets next to one another automatically means that they are the same planet or location. And you can clearly tell that Luke's set is a separate and elevated set from the village set seen in the background

 

But then that won't fit with the theme of the trailer

 

Can we merge this with the R2 thread? Otherwise we are going to have two copies of the same discussion!

 

I feel like the main focus of your thread is R2 while the main focus of this thread is Luke. See if another moderator disagrees I'll acquiesce to their opinion

 

You are ignoring so many things, I don't even know where to begin...
It was reported that Rose would hand over the lightsaber to Leia.
Leias outfit description matches with what we see in the trailer.
Carry Fisher strongly implied that it was her hands you see in the trailer.
The voiceover is Luke talking about his sister.

It was described that Luke and R2 were mourning the deaths of padawans.

 

The thing that is throwing me off is if the opening sequence is Kylo and the boys showing up and wreaking havoc then capturing Poe and returning to the star destroyer then we say Luke shows up at the scene of the village on Jakku and then Finn and Poe are introduced to each other and then escape back to Jakku. We then meet Rey who is alone scavenging on Jakku who then meets Finn after he and Poe crash land and then the TIE's show up guns a blazing?

Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like WAY too much Jakku? Why are all of these people coming and going from one planet by this point we would be near maybe 35-40 minutes in and we are still messing around on Jakku. I don't think Luke is on Jakku and I'm not sure whats going on with the village. One thing I'm sure of is it sounds like one too many events are taking place on Jakku.

 

Hmmm... I don't know... I still still think–like others here–that this is from the flashback scene (possibly burning academy and/or pyre).

1) The two huts are not the same
2) Probably two different sets altogether

 

well of course, but rumours have certain credibility. The credibility rises as more pieces of the puzzle fit together, don't you think?
I'm not saying these are absolute truths. (Only a sith deals in absolutes *cringe*) I'm saying it's is very likely that that is Leia.
Luke, I'm not so sure about.
Yes, MSW claimed a similar scene is part of a flashback, but that's about it. So the credibility of that rumour is lower.

 

I know we are all "over" the flashback talk but could COULD the events on Jakku with Kylo and possibly Luke seeing the aftermath be a flashback? I don't want to think that's the case, but just throwing that out there is all. Otherwise, Luke really isn't in hiding if he's on Jakku and sees the aftermath.

 

Just a thought, but maybe Luke feels a "disturbance," hops in his old school X-Wing (with trusty R2) and heads to Jakku to trail Kylo and our new heroes just like Obi Wan did with Luke on Tatooine. He gets there too late to save anyone, but in time to witness the aftermath of the village massacre. But he won't reveal himself until he absolutely has to.
