    How would Leia even handle Luke's death? Presumably if she makes it out alive this trilogy and he doesn't, imagine Leia's mental state at that point, her son killed her husband, her brother is dead after barely seeing him much the past 2 decades (presumably if she and Luke meet up in any of the next two films which is pretty much a given unless he is like Yoda and refuses to rejoin the Resistance) AND having to lead the Resistance against the First Order led by Snoke, Hux, Phasma, (presumably Benicio Del Toro's character) and her son.

    To think, We left off in Return of the Jedi with Luke and Leia learning they are twin siblings and the children of Darth Vader to where they are now, with:

    Leia broken because she lost her son to the dark side while said son betrayed her brother and killed her husband Han and leading the Resistance to protect the New Republic and moniter the First Order even though the New Republic labels her a warmonger and laughed in her face and mocked her on the Senate floor and watching the entire Republic government be destroyed because they refused to listen to her.

    Luke is broken because he feels he failed Leia, Yoda, his father, Obi-Wan and most of all his nephew while having to watch his entire Jedi Order being slaughtered by his nephew and the Knights of Ren.

    The key question here being:

    How do you think the relationship between Luke and Leia must be now?

    i know Ben ((Kylo Renn)) is a Solo. i never said he wasn't...

    What if Ben is actually a SKYWALKER?? What is Leia opens up, ((in the next movie)) and CONFESSES that she did NOT have Ben (Kylo Renn))
    i think there is a STRONG possibility of that ((Leia confesses that she ADOPTED Ben)) happening, in the next movie.

    ***People in this GALAXY die, in childbirth. Look at Padme - she died giving birth to Luke & Leia.
    if Leia had a kid ((had gotten pregnant, and had the kid, herself, i mean)), she could've ended up like her own mother - DEAD!
    Han & Leia probably ADOPTED Ben... they LOVED him like he was their own son - but, he wasn't!!
    **** HELL!! They probably would have adopted Rey - but with Ben going to the dark side... they probably signed the adoption papers ((for Rey)) then dropped her off on Jakku. i wonder why they didn't drop her ((Rey)) off at Tattuine ((Luke's home planet)) - - oh, yea... Ben would have found her, easy!!
    --- Double Post Merged, Jan 17, 2016, Original Post Date: Jan 17, 2016 ---


    The key answer here, being::

    What relationship?? Luke & Leia don't have a "relationship" anymore. Luke abandoned Leia, as soon as Ben went to the dark side ((like, some 20 years ago)) That is why Leia is trying to find her brother, in this last movie ((TFA))...

    1) Leia's son went to the dark side
    2) Luke left
    3) Luke's wife had the baby ((Rey)) then she died
    4) Leia had to drop Rey off at Jakku, so that Ben wouldn't find her

    Luke I believe will be unwilling to participate at first. Then he is brought back into the fight when the First Order appears on his planet causing them to run but the Republic Fleet appears with Leia at the helm. However, I would love to have Luke be able to pull Star ships out of orbit. That would be so cool!

    I think Luke could even be more a wise mentor than yoda, because his own journey showed him that its always worth a try to call someone back to light.. perhaps kylo is not an easy"bring back to light mission", but nevertheless I think luke is less dogmatic than Yoda was and perhaps with the help of Rey and Leia he will be able to convince kylo to join them for defeating snoke at the end. I think it will need all of them (also on screen. of course) to have a chance.. and hopefully at the and he can teach his new paddawans happily ever after .. (please be aware, I am not native.. I give my best )

    Definitely. Luke was the only one who thought he could redeem Anakin. Both Obi Wan and Yoda believed that the only way to stop the Emperor and Vader was to kill them which would have ironically doomed Luke to the Dark Side like the Emperor wanted. Luke was able to do what no one else could by bringing his father back to the light and I think that makes him an even better mentor than Yoda and Obi Wan. I agree that Kylo Ren will have a similar return to the light type sacrifice in order to defeat Snoke. (Also your English is very good for a non native speaker so don't worry about it.)

    They made "everyone wants to find Luke" THE major McGuffin of TFA, and also Snoke being scared of what Luke's return could potentially bring about. Heck you could have titled the film Star Wars VII: The Search for Luke. And the very last shot is the new potential Jedi heroine finally meeting him.

    So yes, I expect that Luke will be really important to Episode VIII, and quite possibly Episode IX as well. Everything points to it. And they managed to make Han a major presence in TFA without letting the focus off of the main cast, so it's doable.

    Han was a good support character. He wasn't a major commanding presence at all. He had a few scenes all but one could have been amy other character.

    luke is a command character. If there is a fight you expect him to handle it, if knowledge is needed you expect him to have it. 30 years after RotJ most expect him to be a serious bad mofo

    I disagree. He COULDN'T have been any other character. And we don't know what state Luke is in right now. So making such judgments is premature.

    To answer the subject line, I'd want to throw way this assumption. VIII has to start sometime in the future, otherwise the opening crawl would be super lame...

    Instead, I think Luke gets revealed in VIII the way we saw in Jedi. The movie starts with a problem / dilemma, and Luke (and maybe Rey) enter to save the day in a super dramatic fashion.

    I'd like to see them start with rescuing Leia (Palatine style in episode III) like obiwan and anakin, with banter like they've been training for a few years.

    The exact reason they didn't put him in the 7th movie till the end. The fact they are filming on the island assumes they will be showing either training or flash backs.

    If there is a skip the movie is more likely to start in the middle of a full blown war. Introducing some of the new supporting characters backing up poe. They won't want to revel what happened immediately but finn will arrive before rey and luke. The Jedi making their appearance will be a huge moment. Probably battling a kryat dragon or something crazy to get rey her own crystal

    Could have been lando,leia, boba fett. JJ himself thought han was pointless except oir his death scene. We may accept luke isn't all there but the general public wants him to be a jedi master. Years of starwars games and books the expectations are high.

    Snoke was worried about the new jedi rising. Lukes return brings the possibility of fs players around the galaxy taking up arms against him.

    Except for the part where Han Solo was in 75% of TFA and the main plot device was the search for Luke.
    --- Double Post Merged, Jan 18, 2016, Original Post Date: Jan 18, 2016 ---
    I'm just speculating for fun: Luke trains Rey on the island for awhile, we get some awesome scenes where Luke channels Yoda, things get a little weird and ethereal. There is a disturbance in the Force in the middle of her training caused by Kylo Ren, Rey must go confront her fears. The battle between Rey and Kylo is arduous and personal as Kylo tries to turn her to the dark side. He has the upper hand in the fight and is more powerful than before. His pride kicks in and makes him weak. In his moment of weakness Rey beats him again. As Ben is cowering away in fear of her power he pleads with her:

    "Rey, I am your brother!! Don't kill me!!"

    "That's not true. I have no family."

    "You know it's true! You can feel it."

    She pauses for a beat and starts to believe him

    "If you are my brother then you killed our father. You deserve to die..."

    The mere thought oh Han Solo fills Kylo with hatred.

    "Yes kill me now and you will complete your journey to the dark side!!"

    This fills Rey with pure rage as she knows he's manipulating her and is getting tired of Kylo's bantha poodoo. She raises her saber to destroy Kylo, and as she delivers the killing blow her lightsaber is suddenly blocked by a green blade.

    "You must control your fear, Rey." Luke says

    Rey, in tears pulls back and screams "He deserves death! He killed our father."

    "No... I AM YOUR FATHER."

    Yeah, it should be Kylo's. Because he really should win their next duel, and I think that he will.

    Han was far from 75% of TFA or the main plot device. To think that disregards finn and poe. Also nice Idea to throw a twist in there, but again you are forgetting the other half of the cast/story.

    The first order declared war on the Republic. There has to be more to the movie than train rey then fight kylo.

    And there will be. But you have to do FAR more mental gymnastics to try and argue that Luke WON'T be important, given what we've seen and been told already, than to argue that he will be.

    Oh and Han is all over this movie after he's first introduce. Probably more like 60-65% of it.

    It's 2 hours, 15 minutes. Han is introduced at the 40 minute mark

    Well I wasn't trying to write the whole damn script on here jeeze. I was just speculating how Luke will play into the story, or at least what I'd do with him despite me being a terrible story teller
