‘Star Wars 7’: Luke Skywalker's Powerful Wizard Powers Sends Him Into Self-Exile—Report
Little is known about Luke Skywalker's fate in "Star Wars: Episode VII." So far what's been passed around the "Star Wars" grapevine is the Jedi Master has been missing for a total of 30 years. He has supposedly gone into self-exile. However, according to a recent report, there could be truth to these speculations.
The International Business Times once mentioned the movie will centre on the search for the missing Jedi Master. Luke Skywalker reportedly went into a self-imposed exile. However, at that time no details were mentioned on his decision to retreat to Dagobah.
Recently, Jason Ward over at Makingstarwars claims he's had a chat with some movie insiders. These sources were reportedly able to shed some light on Luke Skywalker's fate in "Star Wars: Episode VII," especially on his 30-year absence.
According to Ward, being a powerful wizard convinced Luke Skywalker to go into self-exile. The Jedi Master is reportedly more powerful than The Force. "He's really powerful, more of 'wizard than lightsaber wielding warrior,'" he said.
His powers could supposedly even cause damage to the universe. A difficult aftermath of an event reportedly had Luke Skywalker secluding himself from society and from the ones he loved. According to Ward, the Jedi Master is filled with fear that if he should go back to "society" his wizard powers could be misused. Luke supposedly fears that he could be manipulated and in the process "accidentally hurt the ones he loves."
Luke Skywalker's wizard powers are believed to be so strong that he himself cannot control them at times. A scene in "Star Wars: Episode VII" will supposedly show him in a meditative state while he unconsciously levitates things around him. "He's not always in complete control and he's never sure if he's doing the will of the Force or acting on his own passions," Ward said.
Additionally, previous reports about Luke Skywalker being an evil wizard in "Star Wars: Episode VII" could supposedly be attributed to his appearance. According to Ward, the Jedi Master is described as "creepy and frightening." It's believed that one can even see the fire in his eyes.
