With its scheduled showing no longer far, far away, speculation over the plot of Star Wars: The Force Awakens seems to be moving at light speed!
The rumor mill has been burning hotter than a light saber over exactly what roles the announced cast members will be playing. And fans seem to be most intrigued about the character that actor Domhnall Gleeson will supposedly be playing.
If the latest buzz has any basis in truth, Gleeson will be playing an Imperial Commandant. Nonetheless, he won't be just like any other officer of the Empire. He will working towards a personal agenda of ridding the Galaxy of its "Super Weapons," according to Den Of Geek.
Well, that seems important. However, there's apparently more to his role. Much, much more, according to recent reports. The character that this 31-year old Irish actor will be playing will supposedly also be the son of Luke Skywalker, Den of Geek further revealed!
If this is true, then the fruit didn't fall far from the tree after all!
It would appear the Luke would also end up breaking the one of the Jedi Order's most cardinal rules-the vow of celibacy! Yes, not unlike his father before him! However, was it not forbidden love that led Anakin Skywalker down the path of the Dark Side to begin with? Does this suggest that moviegoers will be seeing Luke's Darker Side sometime during the new trilogy according to SlashFilm.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens will have a particular focus on Relativity-that is to say, more than a few new characters will be relatives of the original characters! Aside from the youngest Skywalker, the newest members of the Organa and Calrissian clan will likewise make their debut in this feature film, reports have it.
Meanwhile, ScreenRant reported that aside from former Harry Potter actor Gleeson, that cast of Episode 7 of the Star Wars franchise will also include such names as John Boyega, Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac.
