I read the script and Luke does go to the dark side. It stems for years or repression in becoming a jedi master. He takes on the title Darth Virgin.

I swear, if Luke Skywalker does end up being the masked sith, it'd be Hollywood trying to emulate the shock from "The Empire Strikes Back". It won't work a second time, because it wouldn't make sense.

If you mean the guy in the trailer, that's not him. It's .

He's also not a Sith.

You know, I just had a scary thought. What if J.J. decides to rehash scenes from The Empire Strikes Back, the same way he vomited Wrath of Khan and ate it again?

"No, Kylo Ren... I, Luke Skywalker, am your father."

Honestly, I think Luke dies, killed by Kylo Ren, and becomes a force ghost like Obi-Wan in this film... which would explain why Finn has his lightsaber in what I assume is the climax fight in the trailer.

How can that wannabe take down Luke Skywalker?

It's just a theory... but would be great symmetry with the first trilogy.

Author fails to mention the Dark Empire series of comics where Luke DOES go full on darkside. Since those stories, which were once cannon, have been relegated to 'legends' status, a lot of fans are interested to see how far this new cannon diverges. I don't think anyone is wrong to speculate that Luke has gone Darkside unless there is irrefutable proof that he hasn't. At the end of this article, there is mention of new materiel that has Luke battling the Empire. That could be the irrefutable proof, or it could be misdirection. Ultimately, until the movie comes out, any proof will be refutable.

I didn't mention that comic series because they aren't canon anymore. I'm also not theorizing he has converted to the Dark Side post-RoTJ. I am stating he does not convert to the Dark Side in RoTJ which is what the HuffPo article claims.

No prob m8. Just realized you were the author as well as OP. As a fan who is a bit butt-hurt over the de- canonizing, I still hold out hope that some of the legends storylines may become canon in these new projects. I'm pretty sure they did not throw it all out the window, just allowed themselves an opportunity to diverge from those stories. Either way I love a good SW discussion.
