STAR WARS EPISODE VII plot leaked (MAJOR spoilers)

[Chingylol]

It starts off with some kids finding Luke Skywalkers hand and light sabre that he lost in Episode 5.

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 recognize 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 Millenium Falcon anymore but are piloting... well, that could be a spoiler. I'll leave it. Anyway, Han and Chewie recognize 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…

Bespin was a fucking gas giant and that's so full of crap I can't even, I mean words they don't, I call shenanigans.

Cloud City wasn't even in orbit. The hand would've just fallen down into the atmosphere. There's no way it could've even gotten into orbit, let alone escape velocity, let alone (by random chance) just happening to fall on another planet in another solar system. Even if that extremely unlikely sequence of events happened...it would take thousands of years to get to another solar system at the minimum. Pretty sure Luke's hand doesn't have a hyperdrive attached to it.

That's the thing about suspension of disbelief in sci-fi. It's said that it's ok to ask you to believe the impossible, but not the improbable. Hopefully this is something that someone just made up. :P

Yeah, I'm with you on this. Fel, there was even a news bit at some point aboot Ford
getting his foot hurt by the Falcon, was there not?

Also, pretty sure a hand would not survive entering the atmosphere of a habitable planet.

Not to mention the hand somehow surviving for 35 years!

How did a hand "survive" Atmospheric entry?

If it was in interplanetary or interstellar space, it would be pretty well preserved.

I mean...

-----------Luke's Hand-------------
-----------Bespin-------------

Sorry guys, but that's the biggest crock of shit.

[OrcsRLame]

After reading some of the comments in the link, I'm pretty sure this is a hoax.

[Cosmic Janitor]

I would hope that after all this time even disney would realize that things entering amospheres tend to burn up. Fake, terrible attempt.

Science says hands don't survive reentry well.

[lawow74]

Sounding kinda craptastic. But I'll show up for the SFX and to see what a hudgemonster Carrie Fisher's turned into.

In a gas giant? No. It's really fucking warm.

Just like to remind everyone that JJ Abraham's is involved.
After seeing the mess of first Startrek reboot, I find it totally plausible that this is the real opening.

[Stormspark]

I wasn't talking about that. I was *purely* referring to the possibility of a severed hand surviving in space for 35 years. Completely discounting the fact that it was impossible for it to be there in the first place.

[Deleted]

Because a hand gripping a lightsaber would totally not burn up in the atmosphere and reach the ground as a small piece of smoking metal.

I really doubt it's as bad as you imply. Not to mention this mini plot point was used by that one michael dude that tried to mess up starwars reputation.

[Mahourai]

This sounds fake as fuck.
