Even though Harrison Ford will be out intimately two months due to his articulatio talocruralis combat injury , Star Wars : Episode VII must go on — as must the rumor mill . Now , some potential details are surface as to who will be chevvy Luke , Leia , Han , their new pals and , presumably , the galaxy .
The hearsay come fromMaking Star Wars , who say they ca n’t verify the rumors themselves , but that they do come from hoi polloi actually working on the film in England ’s Pinewood Studios .
The scoundrel are being holler “ Jedi Hunters . ”
The villains are say to be characterize by pitch-dark and chrome with troopers in similar dim and chrome uniforms . They ’re very imperial , but very new . My gumption is these guys are like General Grievous ’ Magna Guards from Revenge of the Sith ( my analogy not from a source ) .
Supposedly the “ Jedi Hunters ” or inquisitor ( from the speech sound of thing ) are the reasonableness there is no New Republic after Return of the Jedi . That ’s right , they ’re say there is no New Republic . Source # 2 claims to have been on set for a sequence in which we learn the Jedi Hunters worship the Sith and need to resurrect them . Their mandate was to protect the Sith at all costs and insure their survival .
Supposedly Lupita Nyong’o , Adam Driver , and David Oyelowo will be playing these villains ; Oyelowo is particularly noteworthy in that he ’s voice the villain nominate the Inquisitor in the Star Wars Rebels cartoon , specify between the two trilogies , and his character sound a great deal like these Jedi Hunters . So will he be playing the same theatrical role he voice despite the metre departure ? Will the Rebels cartoon be that tie to the pic ?
More importantly , it fathom like Episode VIII is going to seek to match The Empire Strikes Back for bummer - ness :
This generator also believes Luke Skywalker has been fighting to stop this for the last thirty years of his life , but he is outnumbered , tired , and in need of help . The tough guy have a goal : The Resurrection of Christ of the Sith and it “ sound like it bechance in the next film ” meaning Episode VIII and “ I guess they kill him ( said resurrected Sith ) in IX . ”
There ’s a lot more speculation — both well - reasoned and interesting — over at spend a penny Star Wars , and well worth hold back out . If this all happens to be true , I think that ’s fine , but I have to admit I ’m less than thrilled about the idea of Luke dying . I do n’t really desire to substitute Luke ’s felicitous ending from RotJ with him getting old and pulling an Obi - Wan for the next contemporaries . What do you all think ?
