    For myself, I'm mainly interested in how they will rebuild the most infamous villain in sci-fi history. I refuse to believe Disney purchased the Star Wars rights from Lucas just to give it a facelift and make it something else. Darth Vader (or his likeness) has to come back in some capacity.

      Maybe they will save Darth Vader for an Alternate World Star Wars, plus they still have all of Darth Vader's past from when he is placed into the suit until over 18 years later. Like the 5 years before ANH during Star Wars Rebels.

        No Darth Vader-No Yoda-No Emperor-No Obi-Wan- If they start all showing up in the new Movie as glowing ghost we will need the Ghostbusters! I hate it already.

          I'm not too sure about this particular rumor. It appears to have been started on a reddit thread without much backing.

          For those who are wanting to be in the know as much as possible, makingstarwars.net has a projected synopsis posted HERE

          What I don't particularly like about this story is the idea that THE lightsaber somehow made its way from Cloud City on Bespin to another planet after tumbling through space.
          If I had only spent a tenth of the time studying Physics that I spent learning Star Wars and Baseball trivia, I would have won the Nobel Prize.

            ^^ So there is no gravity on Bespin and if you fall out of Cloud City you float off into space? Funny that Luke landed on top of the Falcon.

              Don't forget the small pieces of whatever that fell when he came out of the hatch.

              . . .and what about it falling through another planet's atmosphere? Shouldn't it burn up?

              We don't know what happened to the lightsaber as once it fell away, it was not seen again. I always imagined that it fell into a chute similar to the one Luke fell into but was picked up by an Ugnaught and tossed into a junk pile. I kinda wish it would turn up in a old junk bin somewhere. That might make more sense.

                What's special about The lightsaber?
                Why would it make a difference?
                I stopped reading this "plot" after a couple of lines. I'll see it when the movie comes out...

                Maybe they can used Luke's chopped-off hand to clone an army of Skywalkers...

                    This reminds me of an episode of Quincy I just watched the other day.

                    A gun was used in a mugging and then thrown away and found by another criminal -- who used it to murder someone --- and he sold it to another lowlife (and so on and so on and so on)

                    In the end it wound up in a little kids hand and he shot and killed his sister with it thinking it was a toy.

                      After reading the synopsis...I'm really liking the character of Finn...the good hearted Stormtrooper, nice to see that Stormtroopers can be "human" too.

                        Hmmm...

                        Maybe they can make Luke blind, Han deaf and Leia mute.
                        In that case, when the three of them go womprat hunting together, the scene could be hilarious...

                        Apparently he chooses to stay blind.

                          it would be the lightsaber of the "chosen one" Anakin. Still can't believe that all those genius Jedi master couldn't see what the prophecy of bringing balance to the force meant.

                            Did that in one of the Star Wars novels. Not an army but they did clone Luke from his chopped off hand.

                              Luke's ESB Saber showed up in the SW 7 Trailer.

                                It's a lightsaber, not the Holy Grail.
