So, why no Luke in the marketing?

ziedth

Something that I have found very interesting that.I'm sure we have all noticed is the lack of Luke in the poster/trailer. So what do we think, there is a rumour going around that Luke is

a sith

but I'm not sure do I believe that because I have first hand info that I can't say what it is that would pretty much kill that theory dead (I can't say what it is for fear of giving away the source as he/she is a friend and they happened to be working on this particular scene).

One thing that I will give JJ Abrahams is that he really can build marketing so it really is an astonishing choice to play it this way. Can't say he's doing it wrong either as everyone is buzzing about the film.

Personally given what I know above I reckon

he's in the film very little or maybe even wounded early on.

So any ideas?

Lol, i don't think jj is going to be reading this thread, so go on and spill your beans..

Just remember the spoiler tags, least it be in any way similar to the story

Ha ha, fair point but to be fair to my friend he begged me not to say anything and he worked like I said he worked on this particular scene he claims that if it got it back to people involved it could really hurt him with future work . While it does sound fairly far fetched and I I would generally hate this "I know something but can't tell you" kind of thing but I'll respect his wishes. It's not that exciting and of anyone really wants to know drop me a PM and if you have a decent enough posting history on the site I'll tell you but I can't stress enough how it's barely a spoiler just a scene that would seem to kill the theory I mentioned in the OP.

Edit: also, for full disclosure I use the term friend very loosely.

There are some rather heavy rumors circulating that Luke is

Kylo Ren

and as such does indeed have a rather serious part and has

been in all of the trailers after all

.

It does kind of make sense in a way and could potentually exceed the shock of:

'No, I am your father'

I have to say if that turns out to be a case I think it would be brilliant and very very brave. The backlash would be amazing too, he got enough grief for Star trek but that would leave that for dust.

I agree, it would be a natural progression to the

family dark / light dilemma.

Equally it may appease some of those that feel that everything in the extended universe books were just dismissed.

There are however a couple of bits that make me shed some doubt on this

1/

Adam Driver is cast for the role

- but this could just be a JJ ruse.
2/ There is another huge rumour doing the rounds

that Han gets killed by Kylo. If this is indeed Luke it would be beyond ginormous.
