I dunno, I’ve heard about a lot of phony “leaks.” This one in particular sounds so dumb I’m inclined to believe it’s just a smokescreen. Keep 'em guessing. ---

It’s pretty much impossible not to read that “leak” in Patton Oswalt’s voice, isn’t it? ---

It fell onto a ship that happened by under the duel at that moment and was carried out into soace. When the ship dropped out of hyperdrive, the hand was flung off it. It survived the plunge to Tatooine due to being heavily saturated with midichlorians. Come on, people, use your brains. ---

The photo in the OP’s link is misleading the handle style is that of Luke’s blue light saber. ---

> [@Aeschines](#): > > I am going to have to go in the opposite direction and say that the premise supposedly leaked above sounds dumb as hell and unappealing to me. > > I think it’s a big misstep to include the older Luke, Han, and Leia as played by the original actors. There is a lot of interesting movie fodder from the extended Universe that happens after Return of the Jedi, but it occurs while Luke is still relatively young. By featuring a 60ish Luke, they will need to throw all that out. > > I don’t think the movie is going to be good. Count me in as another person who isn’t happy that they brought back the old actors.

I wasn’t saying that the movie had to follow the Extended Universe in order to be good. I was saying that the Extended Universe _has_ some good post-RotJ material that clearly isn’t being followed if an old Luke is included in this. That’s fine if they make a kickass de novo, but I have big doubts. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/star-wars-ep-vii-alleged-script-leak/693834.md?page=1)
