Mark Hamill rages on team behind Starwars Episode VII poster botched job

Luke Skywalker was the voice in the first teaser trailer of Starwars: The Force awakens, but he is nowhere to be found in the official theatrical poster. Is he in the movie? Is he dead? Or did they forget?

Mark Hamill, about to Sith himself

Mark Hamill rages on team behind Starwars Episode VII poster botched job. Very unlikely, but a newspaper headline like that will surely sell like pancakes. Luke was the center of the Starwars original trilogy while his father covers the prequels. He is the son of Darth Vader, the most powerful and only remaining Jedi, so why is he not in the poster?

Portrayed by Mark Hamill, a sensational multi-awarded voice actor, notable work for the Joker in the Batman animated series and the award-winning Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City video games. According to the IMDB, he is top billed together with Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, a priority cast member of the upcoming Episodes VII and VIII. His absence in the poster definitely send Starwars fans into speculations. The director JJ Abrams is known for surprises and the PR campaign for Starwars benefited by withholding information just like the lightsaber crossguards of Kylo Ren.

Speculation II, possible spoilers

Luke Skywalker will skip this one, appears on episode VIII instead.

Luke Skywalker is only present in episode VII through voice narration and flashbacks, but he will appear on the next two, like Yoda. The second teaser trailer was narrated by Luke trying to recruit or mentor someone. After Starwars episode VI, he is known to be the only remaining Jedi who undergone training in Jedi arts. According to Starwars canon, he founded a new Jedi order, a new era training force-sensitive sentients as his padawan. Maybe his story will be the focal point of episode VIII as The Force Awakens is to Han Solo and Leia.

Speculation III, possible spoilers

Subsequent Starwars movies are segmented stories, spinoffs of the original Starwars films during George Lucas era.

Starwars: Force Awakens will focus on the lives of Han Solo and Leia Organa 30 years after the events of the original three films while episode VIII will focus on the life of Luke Skywalker and on episode IX they will join together to steal the gauntlet of infinity stones and defeat the ultimate titan, Thanos. Kidding aside, it maybe something like that, since Marvel has been using this formula maybe their parent company Disney decided to use it on their Starwars property, interconnecting stories, like the upcoming Rogue One.

The Continuity

The potential of standalone films based on Starwars about its heroes and villains are vast, Han Solo's origins, bounty hunter Boba Fett, Qui Gon Jinn's adventures and who the hell was emperor Palpatine, what's his story? The questions left unanswered in the films are continued through Starwars novels, books, animated series and video games.

Darth Malak: Which is it Master, transsexual or androgynous?

The video games benefited immensely in the accepted canon that spans nearing a millennia before the known Starwars universe in the movies. My best Starwars game experience of all time was from Knights of the Old Republic, an amazing storytelling driven by choices about the Sith Darth Revan and Darth Malak. Starkiller was a chessy name for a protagonist from The Force: Unleashed but it was a better experience on Wii.
