10 Movie And TV Spoilers We Didn’t Know Last Week (August 4th)

2. Star Wars Episode VII Severed Hand

Potential spoilers surrounding the plot of Star Wars Episode VII developed this week as BadAssDigest.com €“ a site with a history of being on the money for film spoilers €“ released an inside scoop. Apparently we can expect Episode VII to open with the iconic Star Wars crawl viewers have come to expect from the sci-fi series. However, rather than the camera panning to a spaceship (as is the norm), the focus will shift to a severed hand floating through space gripping a lightsaber. This image seems distinctly reminiscent of the Dead Space video game cover. The lightsaber will land on a planet to be discovered by the main characters, who decide to return the Jedi relic to its rightful home. On their mission to return the lightsaber, the characters apparently encounter Han Solo and Chewbacca who identify the weapon as belonging to Luke Skywalker who they haven€™t seen since the events of Return of the Jedi. If the reports are correct then this lightsaber sounds like it will fuel the whole narrative of the highly anticipated Star Wars film. This severed hand sounds like it will be symbolic of the destruction of the entire Jedi order.
