Oh, of course. Bizarre names are Star Wars tradition. If the writers can come up with something goofier than "Count Dooku," I will be very pleased.MarsAtlas said:

*BOOM*
"Oh well. I never liked that planet anyway."
Otherwise this sounds pretty bad, and it sounds like Tatooine again.
Why is it that Star Wars always appears to have more storylines based in a desert than Dune?!?
Another rumor associated with the movie, one that has been reported elsewhere and that Devin swears was verified by multiple sources, makes this concept sound a hell of a lot cooler.
Other rumors have suggested that:
I'm not going to lie, that sounds awesome. It sounds like, though the EU (which IMO was a bloated, convoluted mess defined mostly by terrible writing, except for the thrawn trilogy and some of the short stories. And was also way too reliant on the Lucasian tendency to have every protagonist be related to every other protagonist in some capacity) has been struck from canon, the production might be taking a cue from Marvel and distilling elements from the EU into the new trilogy. There are some good concepts in the EU after all.
Anyway, I never expected that I'd say "this sounds vaguely awesome" about anything Star Wars related ever again, especially once JJA was announced to direct. But looks like I just did.
apparently, John Boyega's character is a Storm Trooper who has just deserted the service and is trying to do something different with his life.
Other rumors have suggested that:
the galaxy is in a kind of cold war state between what remains of the Empire and whatever government the Rebels established after the destruction of the second Death Star

...Am I the only one who actually kinda liked the script scrap? Could be a controlled leak too by the producers, to gauge the public reaction to this tiny story morsel, and to see what the scanner says about the Hype Level.
Also remember it's his robot jedi magic hand, so perhaps that's why it survives the heat from entering a planet's atmosphere and conveniently lands in the immediate vicinity of the movie's BFF protagonists.

On the one hand (pun not intended), this plot is so lame I don't believe it, but then again it's a J.J. Abrams movie.
Even better will be if one of the people who discovers this hand will be a Jar Jar Binks type who yells "SPACE HAAAAAAAND!" and then runs around in a goofy manner for five minutes.Zachary Amaranth said:
*sigh* You know, they could've had the lightsaber fall instead of the hand. That would be perfectly acceptable. Han would've identified the saber, as he was around when Luke was training with it.
But having an actual hand would be so much better, because we could make Episode VII into a morality play called "The Jedi's Paw". It's an ancient relic of the Old Republic that grants wishes to whomever holds it. The catch to it is that the wishes are twisted horribly. For example, a die-hard Star Wars fan got a hold of it in the present day, and wished that Episode VII would come out...

It hurts that so many people even remotely think this could be the possible plot. I'm convinced that anyone who would've looked at this as a plot would've slapped the writer with first a physics and then a biology text. No, this has to be a troll leak. We want this to be bad, so it's so easy to believe.

Though calling back to the first movie sounds like something Abrams would do even if it makes absolutely no sense. (based on his Star Trek films anyway)
The report didn't mention the fact that the severed hand was floating through space with middle finger extended as a not so subtle "fuck you" to fans.
As so many people have stated, there are two many things wrong with this idea that it can't be true. It would be a tragedy of Jar-Jarian magnitude.

Return it to the 'proper people?' What, Luke HASN'T been rebuilding the Jedi order for the last 30 years? I mean, seems like if he was it wouldn't be very hard to find them. Just go to Coruscant - problem solved, series over. I can imagine that they'll probably have to deal with Jedi Hunters that want the stupid lightsaber for some reason, all so the main characters can be drawn into an over-arcing plot in the flimsiest of ways.
It all just reeks of being lazy, especially running into the Han Solo. It's like contacting Old Spock just so that he can flat out tell you who the fuck Khan is instead of letting the characters make decisions on their own that might, I don't know, actually lead them on an adventure. I'm not saying Star Wars has to be spectacularly more clever, but if this is how you plan to start your new space-adventure series, I have been right to be wary of this project from the start. It'll take a lot to get me to pay money to see it.

Oh my god, between this and the nitpicks on the X-wing picture I will likely be completely avoiding all internet discussion leading up to the films. I mean, seriously people. A vague hint at what might be the plot of a film that is a year off and hasn't even finished filming, and everyone is already making judgements as to the film's quality. Can we just wait and actually SEE what comes up in the future before jumping on the Abrams hate train and declaring the movie an abomination? Please? All this doom and gloom when we haven't actually seen anything of the film and have no concrete details about anything going on in it, it's rather silly and preemptive.
Also, people need to stop pining for the EU. Seriously. Most of it was utter rubbish and I'm glad to see it gone, so all the crap can be scraped away and we can get new things that aren't bogged down by what came before. Thrawn isn't gonna be in these films, we aren't gonna have Jacen and Jaina running around. Stop looking at this through the lens of the long overdrawn glorified fanfaction that was the EU.

Agreed, the thing is that the parts that make star wars pretty damn good at times such as mandalorian culture and history as well as the long evolving history of the sith order. The old republic era, Revan, the sith empire, Malgus. And so on. They are simply unofficial now, we are supposed to forget about the best parts of the star wars universe while comic relief droids, a sociopath teens "fall from grave" and freaking Jar Jar Binks stays.Magnus Greel said:
Just nope.
I recently bought the "Book of Sith" that is a collection of writings from various Sith Lords ranging back to the Jedi Exiles. It is damn good, has actual philosophical and spiritual value and manage to capture the essence of an ideology that changes slowly throughout millenia.
The story of Revan and the latter great galactic war is fantastic, the writing is way better than the "official" material.
Fans are called such due to being fanatical, well worth remembering.
