If everyone has his little theory, Luke Owen, the English website Flickering Myth, describes his intuitions. It will draw directly from The empire against attack . On Dagobah, Luke faces a vision he beheads Vader. The Sith mask explodes and Luke discovers his own face. For Owen, the Jedi is afraid to go the same way as his father. It then refers to the pleasure of JJ Abrams to muddy the waters, as he did in Star Trek Into Darkness by masking the identity of the villain.

To maintain this theory, Internet users have unearthed an episode of Dinner for Five in 2005. Mark Hamill are talking about the possibility of seeing Luke switch to the dark side.

In late October, several personalities ask JJ Abrams on the site Vanity Fair . The filmmaker lends itself to exercise, as it can dodging the inevitable questions. Until George Lucas himself appears on the screen and asks him, “JJ, what happened to Darth Vader’s grandchildren” “Oh, George … It’s great. To you tell me it was you who invented these things,” Abrams responds, smiling.

For through this, not so innocent resurfaced rumors of the supposed descendants of Vader. Kylo Ren is he the son hid Leia and Han Solo would have finally switched to the dark side? Member of the Knights of Ren, Kylo is it his real name or just a title?

Same questions for Rey, the main female character, whose name is mysteriously missing. Rumors always rumors. No doubt that George Lucas had imagined the family tree of this new generation of characters at Disney when he gave her ideas for this new trilogy. Unless another rumor, much stronger one, wants the founding father, now consultant of the film, has not really been consulted on the matter.
