The lowdown: Where is Luke Skywalker?

According to Cinema Blend, Skywalker might have sensed the “Dark Side” and had opted not to train Ren, but had put his attention to Rey instead. Mark Hamill was in the photograph released of the script read-through.
Luke is nowhere to be seen (unless you count his robotic hand on R2). A helmet that was last seen in the possession of Skywalker, who burned it religiously on Endor. If you aren’t familiar with what Abrams did with his second Star Trek film, the director flat-out denied that Khan was part of the film and that Benedict Cumberbatch was not Khan…it was all a lie, or clever ruse, depending on how much of a Star Trek fan you are (yuck).
All we’ve heard from the character so far is his voice narrating the original Force Awakens trailer, saying, “The Force is strong in my family” Other than that, we know Hamill was spotted filming scenes on the remote Skellig Michael Island, and viewers have just assumed that was his bionic hand in the trailer patting R2-D2.
Has anger finally got the better of Luke and has he been corrupted by the Dark Side? After all, it’s in the blood. After all, Luke is the golden boy of the Force. There was no one who craved Vader’s redemption more than his son. Could Luke have become the new Sith Lord?
Who knows. Hanging about with the Ewoks could do that to a man.
We’ll find out for sure this December when, just maybe, Kylo Ren removes his mask at the end of the film and said to one of the characters, “Like my father before me…”
Speculation ran wild from a possible early death to him being the man behind the metal mask, known in the Star Wars universe as Kylo Ren. Nobody was safe; rumors of the demise of Chewie, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and even our new heroes (which no doubt was a result of the #BoycottStarWarsVii dopes) flooded internet message boards. So with that in mind, don your tinfoil hat, and let’s dig into the latest insane Star Wars theory.
Those fans have some more fuel for their paranoid fire today as an old video resurfaced of Mark Hamill talking with J.J. Abrams about wanting Luke Skywalker to be evil in the next Star Wars movies.
