Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Pre-release) (Spoilers)
- Thread starter OldKen
- Start date
Because it's a trilogy of films, this is the first, and Luke shows up at the end. Suggest you start getting your head around that now. Are you even reading this thread or just jumping in making random comments?
Exactly. And if the rumors are true it makes great sense and will really up the anticipation for EPVIII.

I think it's interesting we've heard about the death of you know who, yet have heard nothing of any kind of funeral scene.
2 possibilities. One they can't retrieve his body before their escape or two that's what kicks off Episode 8 when Luke returns.
very true i remember when spiderman 2 was releasing. it was finished only 3 weeks before it came out in theaters, i doubt know how that ever happened

or that "campfire" in the teaser is a funeral pyre.
idk... i think thats like many others have said and its a flash back, lukes arm looks to thin. call me crazy lol :wacko
I've read everything. Everything posted is rumors until the movie comes out. Just because some fan site says Luke isn't there until the end doesn't make it accurate...

Check out Harry Lime in the Third Man... its a great storytelling device that the person you are talking about and wondering about the most does not show up until close to the end or the end... as this is a trilogy, it does make a lot of sense that they would use this approach if the character is to play a larger role in the next movie. TFA is a hard sell for many fans because I am getting the distinct feeling that it is a transitional piece from the original cast to the new leads.

perhaps. but i tend not to think expository flashbacks fit the star wars movie style. a force vision maybe. we've seen fragments of dream visions.
i also don't buy the opening shot of a graflex flash falling from orbit.
there shalt be no slow motion peckinpah deaths. there shalt be no bullet-time...i have spoken.

ive been onboard with this movie but i hope this storypoint is false. it sounds incredibly stupid that luke's saber that he lost on bespin ends up in space and re-enters a planet.
Maybe we see a fully realized Vader in the flashback..

It has appeared as a story element from multiple sources going back to the very start. What will matter most is how it is explained and I think we will have that.

One thing to consider regarding the Graflex, we assume it somehow makes its way from Bespin to Jakku without considering Luke may have retrieved it and has been in possession of it during the post ROTJ era and then it is either list or intentionally taken. I do think that's likely in so far as there is a puzzle the droids eventually decipher which lead to finding Luke that is somehow incorporated into the saber.
WOW! If they do a / several falshback sequences... they might take us down a new post RotJ path. It will be a first for a SW film (I think)
I'm only hopeful considering how much attention to detail they spent on the Graflex and on R2-D2 that they will source an actual ESB/ROTJ style costume and not one of the LFL tour suits or the ROTS versions.
Boy, I don't know, I think they would be hard pressed to try and use or replicate the ROTJ suit when for no cost they can use the more recent one and 99.9% of the audience wound never know the difference. And I don't consider that a knock on the care they are taking making this film, simply a reasonable economic decision.

based on what we think we know there is a flashback led by Maz Katana and it would be a first. But it could also be considered a Force vision.
