Is this the Star Wars: Episode VII plot?
Not much in way of story has been revealed about J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII. Neither him, or his cast and crew have said anything regarding plot. However, the first remnants of the narrative may well have been leaked.
A rumoured plot summary has been making its way around the web, and if accurate it has tons of juicy information. Badass Digest is the source of this latest rumour— they’re generally reliable and have had some good scoops in the past
Here it is in its entirety;
"Imagine the standard Star Wars crawl, and when it ends the camera pans up to the stars. But instead of a spaceship zooming into frame we see… a hand! A severed hand, tumbling through space. A severed hand gripping a light saber.
That hand falls onto a desert planet, where it is discovered by characters who will be our heroes. One is Daisy Ridley. The other is John Boyega, who is playing someone trying to change his path in life (again, I’m keeping it vague here). They recognise the light saber as a Jedi relic and decide to return it to the proper people.
Their quest takes them off world, and they meet up with Han Solo and Chewbacca, who aren’t flying around in the Millennium Falcon anymore but are piloting… well, that could be a spoiler. I’ll leave it. Anyway, Han and Chewie recognise the light saber as Luke’s, and they say they haven’t seen their friend in thirty years, since the events of Return of the Jedi.
So begins a quest to find the missing Jedi Master. Meanwhile, on an ice planet, nefarious forces are building a super weapon, one capable of destroying not planets but entire solar systems."
The plot line does sound familiar, that’s probably because the Episode VII plot is an intentional echo of the Episode IV plot. Who knows whether this is legit, only time will tell.
