‘Star Wars 7’: Daisy Ridley, Luke Skywalker Cyborg Leaked Photos 'Confirmed,' Says Production Source
Over the past days, a massive leak of "Star Wars: Episode VII" concept photos were posted online. Courtesy of ImageShack user themillenniumfalcon, fans were treated to images of the Millennium Falcon and its pilot, Chewbacca, to name a few. However, those photos have apparently been removed from the user's account. Fortunately, Star Wars Underworld managed to post them on its side.
The authenticity of these photos still remains unclear. However, the site claimed a source close to the production of "Star Wars: Episode VII" claimed they are legit. Movieweb adds the leaked concept photos also seem to coincide with some previously reported spoilers for the movie.
One of the leaked photos reportedly resembles the Greenham Common set of the movie. The location was previously photographed via aerial capture by drone pilots. According to Movieweb, the set was used as base camp for the Rebel Fighter's ships including the X-Wing. Likewise, it was supposedly rumoured to be the Massassi Temple.
Fans have reportedly already seen the concept photo of a cyborg holding Darth Vader's helmet. But the leaked art supposedly provides a clearer look at the character. The International Business Times previously claimed the cyborg is no other than Luke Skywalker. The image reportedly links back to one of the movie's scenes where Daisy Ridley's rumoured character, Kira, finds the Jedi Master in his refuge. Luke was believed to have held onto the ZorroHat" (Darth Vader's burned helmet) with a "look of reverence even love."
Another "Star Wars: Episode VII" concept photo supposedly resembles Kira wielding her blue-coloured lightsaber. According to Movieweb this art somehow traces back to previous reports about her relationship with Max von Sydow's character. The latter is believed to play as an older cyborg who recognises Luke's lightsaber.
The leaked photos of what appears to be Tatooine seem legit, according to the site, since the location was previously already confirmed to be featured in the film. As for Chewbacca's photo showing him with a bionic hand, the image reportedly still remains unconfirmed. It's been a long-held rumour since a few months back.
Star Wars Underworld seemed confident of their source's reveal according to Movieweb. However, as with other previous unconfirmed leaked photos, these concept art for "Star Wars: Episode VII" could supposedly just be fan-made.
