Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 11 Major Plot Clues From The Final Trailer

7. The Knights Find Luke (Or At Least His Lightsaber)

Talking of flashbacks... The brief glimpse of Kylo Ren in the company of his fellow Knights has got to be a flashback sequence establishing who the new big bad is, and exploring something of how we got to this point in the universe after Return Of The Jedi. The two most notable observations for this brief sequence start with the fact that Ren is the only Knight carrying a lightsaber, so it's reasonable to assume he's the only Force-powered knight. That makes everyone else expendable, so expect a body count here. The second, and more intriguing point relates to what Ren has in his other hand: and it looks suspiciously like Luke Skywalker's second lightsaber, which he constructed himself. So, that would suggest that the Knights are going to find Skywalker (perhaps their manifesto is solely that?) and it's their discovery and disarming of him that forces him into hiding?
