I have a new theory about The Last Jedi… that would be Rey Skywalker. Read it, think about it, share it if you’d like.
The big question in this new trilogy that everyone wants answered, is who the heck is Rey? A lot folks are guessing she’s a Skywalker, but folks are also saying Luke wouldn’t abandon his child. I think Luke did have a wife at some point, she has either died or they had simply parted ways. Here’s why I believe Luke actually did do such a horrible thing and abandon his own flesh and blood!
Luke Skywalker is hit pretty hard with the realization of how dangerous his family really is. His father, a dark Lord of the Sith. His nephew, Ben Solo, turns to the dark side, becoming Kylo Ren, and takes part in destroying the new Jedi order. Luke himself was tempted to dable in the dark side at one point.
So Luke has to make a decision, the one way he thinks he can put an end to the darkness and possibly bring balance to the force. He knows only one truth, according to the quote from The Last Jedi trailer, and that is that “it’s time for the Jedi to end.” He adopts his daughter out, far in the outer rim, to get her away from knowledge of the Force. To alter her destiny. He’s saddened by what his bloodline has done, and terrified at what his own flesh and blood might become. He wants her to have no knowledge of the force, of the Jedi. He drops her off on Jakku because the planet is forgotten, it’s role in the galaxy fulfilled. Until the force awakens in the dessert hills.
The reason Luke has gone into seclusion? He’s abandoned everything and everyone he loves. He believes he has failed his family, himself, and the galaxy. It’s time for the Jedi to end. If the Sith are truly extinct, and the Jedi are no more, then maybe there will finally be balance in the force.
The truth will be revealed December 2017! My prediction for the title of Episode IX: Balance Of the Force
