The Rumour: The crew at Making Star Wars dropped the mother of all spoilers a little while back: the main antagonist of Episode VII is none other than Luke Skywalker. According to leaked storyboards, the film ends with The Force Awakens' hero, Kira, confronting a villain in a cave-like stronghold only to discover the villain has been Luke the whole time. Kira then decides to join the Dark Side. Likelihood: Unlikely This one is hard to swallow. Luke turning to the Dark Side would render the entire story of Episodes I-VI pointless. Return of the Jedis entire climax revolved around Luke forsaking the Dark Side; Luke switching sides off camera would be a twist so wrongheaded it would enrage Star Wars fans more than a thousand Jar Jar Binks ever could. More than likely, the scene described above (if it is actually in the movie at all) is a test of our heros mettle similar to the one Luke faced on Dagobah in Episode V. Luke might be taking a cue from master Yoda by making Kira face her greatest fear. Perhaps its just wishful thinking on our part, but we cant fathom the powers that be at Disney allowing Abrams to make such a foolish decision right out of the gate.
