Could This Be The Plot For Star Wars 7?

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Severed Hand?

The speed at which plot details for the upcoming seventh movie in the Star Wars franchise seem to be coming is ludicrously slow - we don't even know what the name of the film is yet, despite the fact that it's started shooting and there are sets and actors and everything. Still, according to reports from Badass Digest, some actual plot regarding Episode VII has finally emerged - and apparently the movie is rumoured to begin at the mercy of Luke Skywalker's severed hand. Obviously, it might be best to take said rumours with a pinch of salt, because Luke's severed hand? According to reports, then, the "driving element" of the film is that of Luke Skywalker's lost hand flying through space, which falls to a deserted planet - lightsaber clasped within - and is discovered by two unnamed characters played by Daisy Radley and John Boyega, who apparently take their find to Han Solo and Chewbacca. How (or why, for that matter?) this plot element makes sense, we're not exactly sure. Is Star Wars: Episode VII really going to feature an opening scene featuring two characters walking around with a severed hand? Seems mighty strange. Other details include the likes of a "super weapon" being built on an ice planet, and the fact that Luke Skywalker hasn't seen Han or Chewbacca for a near-on thirty years. The hunt for Luke seems to be the "major" aspect in this rumoured version of the story, though. Whether or not there's any "truth" to this, who knows? It does appear to be a fairly strange idea, given the circumstances - and it seems unlikely that Han and Chewbacca would have separated themselves from Luke for so long. Also, who wants a Star Wars film about a freakin' severed hand? Meanwhile, J.J. Abrams has also revealed how an X-Wing will look in the new movie. Here is it below;
