Luke Skywalker may have turned evil in Star Wars Episode VII, according to the latest rumors.
The speculation started earlier this month when Indie Revolver published pictures of a cyborg bad guy in the upcoming film.
The pictures indicate that the cyborg has a lot of reverence for Darth Vader, and the right hand seems similar to both Anakin Skywalker’s and Luke Skywalker’s.
Another picture shows the cyborg, a black figure, cloaked and approached by a primary female character “Kira” (possibly Daisy Ridley).
“According to a source, Kira believes she is there to meet Luke Skywalker, but instead she finds the monster,” said Making Star Wars.
“In another depiction, she is facing the camera, the cyborg character is embracing her and the look on her face is one of resignation and defeat. We are looking over a character’s shoulder, of what is believed to be [John] Boyega’s character.”
Boyega’s character is believed to crash land on Ridley’s planet, and turn from the dark side to good because of her.
It’s posited that his character and others try to save Ridley’s character from the evil cyborg, who is possibly Luke Skywalker.
“So why does Kira appear to give up? The reason for her resignation? The cyborg is none other than Luke Skywalker. The revelation beats Kira and her quest becomes hopeless. She resigns herself to joining the figure who is the opposite of what she hoped to find. The evil she sought to vanquish with the power of Luke Skywalker, is Luke Skywalker,” the blog noted.
Making Star Wars later got their hands on additional concept art, which shows a scene taking place in a castle. A young woman, perhaps 20 years old, is being embraced from behind by the so-called monster cyborg. That figure is wearing a brown robe not unlike that of Obi-Wan Kenobi, while his hand shows that he is a cyborg but still contains some flesh.
