Star Wars: Episode VII is well underway with principal photography, but many of us still want to know just what this new saga chapter is all about. We know that the characters we loved from the original trilogy will be present in the new movies, and there will be a slew of younger fresh-faced characters to root for, but what kind of adventure are they going to get themselves into? Badass Digest seems to have stumbled themselves onto what seems to be crucial plot details for the new sequel, and below they are described, so fair warning to anyone that doesn’t want to know, that SPOILERS ARE AHEAD.
So what sets the new story in motion? A droid with crucial information? A boy who will soon become evil? No, how about a HAND GRIPPING A LIGHT SABER? Yes. Remember that iconic scene in Empire Strikes Back when Vader and Luke were Light Saber fighting in the depths of Sky City, and Luke got his hand lopped off? Well according to this information, that hand lands on a desert planet (not Tatooine) and the characters played by Daisy Ridley and John Boyega find the hand, and recognize the light saber as a Jedi relic. They then decide to set off to find the owner of that hand. As much as I kind of dig that being the basis of this new story because it brings something straight from the original trilogy, it sounds very unlikely that they would go with that.
The two then meet up with Han Solo and Chewbacca, who aren’t flying around in the Millennium Falcon for some reason. Han of course recognizes his old friend’s hand and Light Saber, but let’s the young characters know that he hasn’t spoken with Luke for 30 years (since Jedi). Han and Chewy then set out with the young characters to find the Jedi Master, and meanwhile on an ice planet, a new Death Star-like weapon is being developed. This weapon can not only destroy planets, but entire solar systems. Go big or go home I guess.
So those are the big plot details Badass Digest told us about, and they did mention there is much more. Those events are just what set the story in motion, so your guess is as good as mine on if they are legit or not. I honestly don’t think Luke’s decaying hand gripping a Light Saber would be the basis of the whole story, but it is something out of left field that I can see J.J. Abrams throwing into the story. Let me know your thoughts these supposed plot details for Star Wars: Episode VII, and check out my video below to hear talk about them.
