    Not sure if this has been posted before (or maybe I'm thinking too much into it)

    But in the trailers we've heard Snoke, we've heard/maybe seen Luke (well, a hand) however it seems MVS character really is the one who's not been shown?? Had me wondering if there's something to be taken from this? Heck, we've heard Maz now and seen her in the poster.

    Anything to take from this...?

    I think it's because he doesn't have that large of a role in the film.

    He's not in the film long enough to really give him marketing significance, most spoilers/rumours have him biting the dust when Kylo arrives. His character seems to understand the significance of the sabre and both Resistance and First order are drawn to Jakku because of it. He basically gets the story rolling and then gets killed.

    Unfortunate, but you're probably right. I love his acting so it's a shame, but I hope his role will still be of significance.

    He could be the one who dies as a climax to one of the acts.

    That would also be my take on his role.He could play the main role(as a friend/mentor to Rey) and will be killed by Kylo Ren.

    One of the best actors of his generation.. but gets reduced to a Brian Blessed-in-Robin-Hood type role.

    I think his role could be one of the "big surprises", but if I had to make a bet with an official prediction, I'm going with the masses on this one. Guessing he's unique in his knowledge of the events of the OT, but dies early, his death setting the events of the film into motion.

    When i first heard of him being cast back in the day my first thought was "I bet they will use his voice in the trailers" cause he has one of the greatest voices ever. So rich and expressive. oh well. :(

    Very odd there isnt a single interview with him about this film. A very acclaimed actor will be present in the marketing/press of a film of this magnitude.
    The only reason that could be, is if the only lines he says are plot spoilers. If not, then they went slightly overboard with keeping him hidden.

    Wouldn't it be a fairer comparison to say "gets reduced to a Brian Blessed-in-The-Phantom-Menace type role." ?

    Rey: But then how do we leave?
    MVS: The best way off is (mean glint in his eye) through the planet core!
