Sounds like a Star Wars movie. There could be a hundred explanations for the hand, especially in a universe as crazy and dumb as Star Wars. I wouldn't write it off so soon. (and the imagery is compelling to begin with) Similarly, we shouldn't assume there's no other explanation for returning the hand besides sheer altruism. Maybe Boyega wants to become a Jedi? Maybe the Jedi are gone and they want to bring them back? Just like the hand, there could be any number of explanations.

I guess it could be made of some kind of metal...I dunno... oh wait..didn't Luke have a metal hand or something... yeah, yeah, that would work actually...
No, they will obviously have a
bringing her out of retirement scene.

Also cannot get my head around
although it could be interesting, if true.
Han not seeing his brother in law for 30 years
I'm sure the Rebels have freed many planets, but the remains of the Empire, and possibly other hostile splinter factions, are still going to be a huge problem.
Also, the Rebels don't have the benefit of an outside force more powerful than the Empire (ie: the USA) to back them up and obliterate the establishment.
Sun Crusher? Which coincidentally fits the whole destroy solar systems super weapon thing.

But he has been fooled by J.J. before. Remember the twitter shit about Khan not being the bad guy in Star Trek 2?
This doesn't sound bad. The more things that leak the more I think we will be getting a two hero story. Boyega's will be a redemption story while the girl's will be her finding out who she is.
I'd give my right nut to see JJ flip the script and have the girl be Luke's kid. Just because I like seeing EU fanboys cry.

I can't shake the feeling that people at pinewook are just fucking with everyone with misinformation as well, but we will see.
Edit: reading the whole article sounds really food to me.

Yup. Sounds like someone made an amalgam of the rumors that are floating around and then added their own little bits to it.
That sounds cool. Would be even cooler if the hand was floating in space was caught in the gravitational pull of a black hole and then escapes with extremely high velocity. Traveling at 5 miles a second it strikes where the younglings are training, rhyming like George Lucas told us with the youngling massacre in Episode III.

The most amazing thing is it landed back on Tatooine. Small universe. Or its just another hand he lost.

I've been saying Luke went back to Tatooine since it leaked that the story revolves around finding him.

The impression being that nothing we has happened in the last 30 years. Hell, wouldn't the inclusion of some EU events made the universe feel more active?

What if?
Luke went home. Met a woman. Fell in love. Something happens and he has to leave to keep the woman from being in harm's way. He gets captured and his arm is cut off in space while escaping. He goes into hiding and lives in Degobah.
Fast forward and that woman has a daughter. She meets a young man who works for the remnants of the empire. He starts to question himself. He senses something in the girl and he starts to change. They find the hand. Story begins.

You think that would piss off EU fan boys the most? Just shitting on everything they thought they knew about Star Wars?

Imagine if the ship Han and Chewie are flying is Padme's ship. The tears from the prequel haters would be so salty.

That's also really good. I'm in for this to happen. More tears lead to good times.

The other ships Han could be piloting:
Slave 1-Boba Fett's ship
Star Destroyer- Probably too big unless he has a big crew
Imperial Shuttle- That is what he was flying last in ROTJ
Tie Fighter- Too small for both Han and Chewie, right?
x-wing- again, too small for both Han and Chewie.
and Padme's ship. last we saw of it was in episode 3. Obi Wan used it to take a dying Padme off the volcanic planet, Mustafar. It would be a way to bridge the prequels-the last star wars films to be released, with the new trilogy.

Goood shit. I have a feeling the hand will be encased in carbonite at some point.

So am I right in saying the plot of the trilogy looks roughly as follows:
Sound about right?
severed hand with lightsaber found by new heroes, they take it to han who realises it is Luke's. Go to find Luke who has been missing for 30 years.
Luke has been fighting Jedi hunters who the emporer had trained in secret, their aim to resurrect the sith. Also building doom device. 7 ends with the heroes winning.
Some point in 8 the Jedi hunters ressurect the sith, prob a clone of palpatine?
9 is the Jedi winning again.

Probably, the most likely scenario.

Plus it's much more interesting than that imperial shuttle.

Han in Slave 1 would allow for a storyline of Boba looking for his ship.
I'm for it.
I'm for it.
I just don't like combination of making the universe smaller again (hand, Tatooine, daughter finds it) while doing an escalation on the stakes in typical Hollywood sequel style(forget planet destroying deathstar, we now have a solar system destroying doomsday weapon!). wished they would go for the opposite: personal stakes in a grand universe with lots of new locales.

Why would anyone have that impression?
Just the idea that someone like
Luke would go into hiding
an and Luke wouldn't see each other
would even still be alive

We don't know when Luke was last seen. I know Devin says 30 years but it might be less. I would say more around 20 years would be a good starting point. Ten years fighting then he goes missing. Why are we spoiler tagging in a thread that's speculation and rumors? People get spoiled it is their fault for some coming into a thread that says:
Star Wars Episode VII rumors - plot and villains (potential spoilers)

It would give him time to train Jedi for the Jedi Hunters to hunt, too.
"The third [trilogy will] deal with moral and philosophical problems," Lucas said in 1983. "In Star Wars, there is a very clear line drawn between good and evil. Eventually you have to face the fact that good and evil aren't that clear-cut and the real issue is trying to understand the difference."
Yeah, I always wanted the sequel trilogy to deal with morality and character. Almost like there is a sense of intimate action on screen. I'm worried that's not what they are going for anymore.

Faraci is a blowhard who can be misled just like anyone else. Just because he may believe it's true doesn't mean it is.
A blowhard who doesnt report false rumors and puts his credibility on the line. He has no history of that.

Ahh, that's cool. I hadn't heard that one yet.
Him being an asshole and him being reliable are two different things. You don't have to like him (I don't), but he has yet to screw up.

Hope that's fake, honestly sounds like some bad fan fiction. They could have picked any number of EU storylines that would have been better than this premise.
Devin said on twitter it isnt the ESB hand.
