Back in March, an anonymous 4Chan user going
by the name of "Mizzlewump" posted a number
of unconfirmed plot details for Star Wars:
Episode VII, which he learned after reportedly
reading the second draft of J.J. Abrams and
Lawrence Kasdan 's script. Latino Review has
now corroborated that several items in that
original post are, in fact, true, although they
have not been confirmed by LucasFilm.
Be warned, there will be massive spoilers, but if
you want to know more details about Star
Wars: Episode VII, keep reading.
Leia is made leader of the Republic after her
predecessor's death
- Han is a retired veteran of the Republic
fleet
- Luke hasn't been seen in nearly 30 years
- The lead character is Han and Leia's
daughter
- The other lead is the child of Lando, and
either a male or female depending on who is
cast
- The other lead is a Stormtrooper, also
either a male or female depending on who is
cast
- Dialogue for these two characters is very
rough in the second draft
- Luke has no known offspring
- The Empire still exists in the form of a
number of loyal galaxies and are in a state
of cold war with the Republic
- The Empire is simply referred to as the
"Empire," and the Republic is referred to
formally only once, as the "Galactic
Republic;" no "New" anywhere
- There are no Jedi whatsoever, and people
still speak as if they are extinct, with Luke
being "the last of his kind"
- The main antagonists are an older student
of the Emperor, and his apprentice
- The apprentice takes control of the power
dynamic between the two pretty quickly...
- The Republic are excavating ruins on a
neutral world for a weapon; the world
factors into tense negotiations the Empire
have had with the Republic, and is referred
to as the "Sith Homeworld"
- Loredump: In the script, the Sith are a
couple thousand years old, founded by an
ancestor of Palpatine called Ruin; the
apprentice in this film also goes by that
name the ruins within the Sith Homeworld
are a control station; the planet itself is the
weapon
- Luke saves the day at the end, but in a
bad way; he has changed
The last item may be the most interesting of all,
since it hints that Luke Skywalker may be
turned into the villain in Star Wars: Episode VIII
and Star Wars: Episode IX . However, since Luke
has no children, even if this turns out to be true,
there won't be the same father-son connection
like Luke and Darth Vader in the original trilogy.
Back in July , we reported that the plot will
follow John Boyega and Daisy Ridley's
characters, who find the severed hand of Luke
Skywalker ( Mark Hamill ) with his light saber
attached to it, sending them on a quest where
they meet Han Solo ( Harrison Ford). Another
report from July revealed that John Boyega is
playing a Stormtrooper who is seeking
redemption. If the bullet points above from
"Mizzlewumps" are correct, that means John
Boyega is indeed playing the Stormtrooper, while
Daisy Ridley is playing Han Solo and Princess
Leia's ( Daisy Ridley ) daughter.
As for Lando Calrissian's daughter, there is
speculation that role may be played by either
Lupita Nyong'o or Crystal Clarke , a British
actress who joined the cast in July.
Another report from Making Star Wars reveals
that Luke Skywalker hasn't been missing for the
past 30 years. When the movie starts, he's
reportedly been missing for the past decade.
There will also be a connection to Count Dooku,
played by Christopher Lee in Star Wars: Episode
II - Attack of the Clones . When Benedict
Cumberbatch was rumored for a role in Star
Wars: Episode VII, his character was believed to
be a descendant of Count Dooku. However, that
connection to Dooku has since been transferred
to Gwendoline Christie 's character, which falls
in line from a July report .
There was also another rumor from last month
that Han Solo will return to Hoth and Endor
from the original trilogy. This report from
Making Star Wars indicates that sketches were
made that depicted a battle on Endor, although
these may be used for other Star Wars projects.

you more excited for Star Wars: Episode VII
