   It looks very possible that the new Kylo Ren baddie might really be   
   Luke Skywalker, which would explain why Mark Hamill is and isn't in the   
   movie, and the trailer scene with R2-D2. Although how / why he turned   
   bad is another question.   
      
   *IF* that is true, then it's looking more and more like talentless JJ   
   Abrams is simply doing just another lazy silly "reboot", with the usual   
   over-the-top battles and special effects movies these days "must" have.   
   We've got a new "Death Star" space station, a new "Empire" in the First   
   Order, a new baddie in a mask who is a Skywalker, a new young person on   
   Tatooine to save the day (female this time of course!) who is likely   
   Han and Leia's daughter so of the Skywalker bloodline, tweaked X-wings   
   (like the tweaked fighters in Moore-Ron's "Battlestar Galactica"), etc.   
      
      
   Add in JJ Abrams complete lack of ability for making comprehensible   
   stories with sensible conclusions, and, to misquote many characters   
   from the Star Wars movies, "I have an extremely bad feeling about   
   this", and it's getting worse with each piece of new information.  :-(   
      
      
   Another opinion is that Kylo Ren is instead one of Han and Leia's   
   children, but that seems less likely and doesn't explain why Hamill is   
   missing in action (unless he's being held prisoner by Kylo Ren).
