Spoilers Ahead. Read At Your Own Risk
There have been numerous spoilers of Luke Skywalker's disappearance since the "Return of the Jedi." Now the recent leak supports the rumour that the Jedi Master hasn't been "seen in nearly 30 years." Likewise, Jedis are believed to be nonexistent among the inhabitants of the Empire ("formed by a number of loyal galaxies") and the Republic ("referred to formally only once in the draft as the 'Galactic Republic'"). They still speak of the Jedis as if they are extinct. They reportedly don't exist in the movie as Luke is considered as "the last of his kind" and since he also "has no known offspring."
However, according to the leak, Luke Skywalker will ultimately be the hero in the sci-fi film as it ends. "He saves the day." Unfortunately, his fate reportedly leaves him turning to the bad side. Movieweb claims he could turn into a villain in "Star Wars: Episode VIII" and "Star Wars: Episode IX." But since he has no children, then the movie would miss the father-son connection between Luke and Darth Vader as seen on the original "Star Wars" trilogy.
Additionally, the recent "confirmed" plot details of "Star Wars: Episode VII" reportedly gives a hint to Lupita Nyong'o's character in the movie. Previous rumours claim she could be a Sith according to Inquisitr. But she may be playing Lando Calrissian's daughter instead. Based on the supposed draft, Lupita may end up having a lead role in the film.
"Star Wars: Episode VII" is slated for a U.S. release on Dec. 18, 2015. It also stars John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver and Domhnall Gleeson.
