Lit A/V The Force Awakens and the EU [TAGGED spoilers.]

They are drawing inspiration from the greatest literary masterpiece since the days of Shakespeare, or do you question the sheer wonderment of the Glove of Darth Vader?

If they later draw influence from The Crystal Star for Episode 8, then all will be good in the world.

 

I won't be satisfied til we get a mention of a character with blaster shaped earrings, only then the rumors will have my undevoted attention.

 

who's that?

 

Grand Moff called Dunhausen, according to the picture properties box.

 

Dunhausen....the Legend!

Birra Seah? She didn't stay high-ranking long though:

 

Well he definitely is a member of the Star Wars version of MWLLOL

 

True that.

 

BBC: Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker actor, on Star Wars: Episode VII

That scruffy-looking nerfherder. Maybe that rumor about him getting lost has some merit afterall.

 

Good to see him with the beard, something I've wanted for years and years, but I also can't help thinking:

 

FWIW:-

Suggested may be an Ep 7 location.

 

Throw a some Jedi robes on Hamill and, bingo, he's Obi-Wan, which I'm totally down with.

 

I already have

 

Luke has the same haircut for the same reason Ford has the same pants.

Whether or not I want Leia to still have the same bikini I am however undecided.

 

That rug really tied the whole temple together, man!

I think we've uncovered the actual plot of SW VII

 

I think Hamill looks more like TRON Legacy Dude. And now I'm thinking this is a typical Disney thing.

 

Finally, Luke Skywalker decided to man up. Better late than never.

(Although I doubt Disney-Luke will out-man The Unifying Force-Luke, even with the beard. )

That place looks amazing. Good to hear they'll be going to Ireland, and not Northern Ireland.

 

I dunno... if the hermit rumors are true, leaving to wander around and try to hide all traces of the Jedi, it's going to a pretty bold nihilistic-but-not-grimdark place that I really kind of love.

 

It says that he sees the Force as a powerful weapon so he wanders around trying to hide all traces of Jedi and Sith tradition.

This would definitely do a number on the idea of other Force-adept traditions and of anyone being able to use the Force without training (since Luke is supposedly trying to make it so that no one can seek training). But... I like it. It's practical, and not conventionally spiritual; he's not putting blind faith in the Force and saying, "Hey, yeah, let's chance it on a new batch of Jedi kids. We probably won't wind up with any Sith..." (because, of course, him bringing balance to the Force would ultimately mean that if the Jedi remain, so will the Sith, in this interpretation anyway).

That said, it's almost inevitable that a new threat will arise, and the new kids will convince him that the Jedi need to be resurrected after all.

 

But does it have his severed hand
