Some of the latest Star Wars Episode VII rumors indicate that Luke Skywalker gets into a fight with Han Solo, and that Solo might even kill him.

There’s been some rumors floating around that Skywalker, after the events in the last film in the timeline, became the most powerful Jedi ever.

But that made him somewhat crazy because he could see both the future and the past, and it started to meld together, and he avoided civilization.

Now a Star Wars 7 News poster has glimpsed a scene that happens in the film that involves a stand-off between Skwalker and Solo.

“Luke Skywalker, bearded and fully fleshed, raising a GREEN lightsaber at Han, who in turn has his classic blaster pointed at him. Adam Driver stands, not so much beside Han, but more off to the side. The perspective almost makes Driver look like he is in the middle. Driver looks concerned, but not frightened, more like he is pondering his next move,” he said.

“I hate to say it, but Luke looks like a crazy person. I don’t know if he’s a villain, a cyborg, or a Jedi Master; but one thing is for sure, he’s a long way from the ‘Luke Skywalker here to rescue you.’ It was actually a little unsettling to see.”

Skywalker looks like he just got beat up and is also in dirty clothes, while Han is somewhat disheveled but still looks like himself but doesn’t look happy to be threatened.

“Driver looks like he’s dressed business casual. Gray/black suit, with some sort of burgundy vest or jacket thing. It was hard to tell, of the three men, he was in the most dimly lit part of the frame. I still believe he’s the villain or secondary villain, but he just looks like a bystander here,” the poster continued.

“The three of them are standing in what I guess is a cave or some partially natural environment. The ground beneath them is gravel or dirt. The walls are definitely rock. The lighting is either from a small fire or an incredibly dim source.”

Meanwhile, some rumors from 4chan add some more details about Skywalker, Solo, and the character Driver is playing.

“Luke brought a cataclysm to Tatooine soon after Return of the Jedi after he visited Anakin’s birthplace and for whatever reasons it’s changed him. It’s an even more desolate place now, there are meteor craters everywhere, you get the point, at first you won’t know that it’s even the Tatooine you’re looking at,” the possible spoiler goes.

“Luke goes mad because he discovers he [expletive] can’t control himself. He destroys everything around and kills people with his powers, unconsciously. He leaves his friends and lives in solitude on Mon Cal in a fortress of some [expletive] old sith lord because the dark side that clouds the place puts him in chains.”

Also saying that Luke can see the future and the past, Luke is described as “a mentally unstable god.”

“Nobody wants to have anything to do with him, but Han’s son (Adam Driver) wants to use Luke’s power for his own evil means,” the poster said. “Luke has a premonition about the destruction that Han’s kid will bring in the future and decides to kill him.”

That gets Han upset, and there’s a huge fight with everyone against Luke. The poster the claims that Luke allows Han to kill him because “he trusts him.”

The Star Wars 7 News blog, though, says that while the first part sounds right the second part “sounds a bit too much ... but only time will tell.”
