Even though Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is next in line to hit theaters, attention is focused on Star Wars: Episode 8 lately. More and more rumors are starting to circulate and a majority of them focus on Rey and the ever-elusive Luke Skywalker.
Previously, we reported on a Luke-Rey rumor that could change everything we know about the Star Wars universe if proved to be legitimate. With over a year until the premiere of Episode 8, it’s definitely premature to draw conclusions. Still, speculating is always fun and, more importantly, much of this gossip hails from typically credible sources. Which brings us to today – you’ll have to decide for yourself if this rumor’s plausible.
YouTube user Mike Zeroh recently shared some information he claims to have received from a source who accurately tipped him off on The Force Awakens. The source “leaked” Zeroh a scene involving Luke Skywalker and Rey. Take a look at the email transcription below:
Luke takes his arm out and uses the force and pulls the lightsaber from Rey gently, her lightsaber floats through the air in between them, slowly going to Luke's hand as he grabs it.
The next sequence is of Luke Skywalker taking out his other hand and his lightsaber floats out of his belt, at this point Luke has two hands semi raised up with two lightsabers, green on the left and blue on the right. From what has been described, Luke closes his eyes and dismantles both lightsabers, all metal and components removed into pieces, all the building blocks of both lightsabers are separated into tiny bits and pieces, leaving only two crystals, one in each hand (green over left and blue over right hand) and informs her about the importance of the Crystals.

Could this really be a scene from Star Wars: Episode 8? Anything is possible at this point. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out Luke and Rey are going to share a number of scenes together in the upcoming film. The cast and crew have done a solid job of keeping the gossip at bay, but these recurring Luke-Rey rumors does give one pause. So what do you think? Let us know in the comment section below!
Star Wars: Episode 8 arrives in theaters Dec. 15, 2017.
