Even the simplest of things like a static image where Star Wars is concerned can send fans into a frenzy trying to decode what it means. It's a testament to how devoted certain individuals are to deducing clues and answers from the most simple snippets of information and at the same time an example of how anal people can be over the smallest of details. When you're talking about the greatest science fiction space opera film series ever made though, it's hardly surprising that people want ever little detail to be absolutely perfect. Especially considering the less-than-stellar reputation that the prequel films have received over the years. Even if you're only an average Star Wars fan, it's hard not to get excited over some of the information that's slowly been trickling out of the set for the film over the last few months: some of it is so intriguing that it's impossible not to try and guess at what all the leaked images mean for the tightly-held secret that is The Force Awakens. Whether you've seen the majority of the leaked concept art already or not, this article aims to provide some interesting conjecture on some of the plot elements of next year's film, and what role exactly some of the original characters will have. Is Luke Skywalker, the saviour of the Force and the Chosen One, to become a Sith Lord in The Force Awakens? Who is the shadowy figure that seems to be obssessed with Darth Vader memorabilia? And why does Chewie have a bionic arm? Pictures and analysis galore for those that continue reading. This goes without saying, but spoilers ahead!
