NEXT: Star Wars: Episode 7 Leaked Concept Art Hints at Character Details Then there's the speculation that Max Von Sydow's character is an "ancient" evil - one that could have, that's right, "Awakened" at a time when the Dark Side was in need of a new Sith Lord - though more recent rumors about Sydow's character seem to suggest otherwise.įor now, we're left connecting a mix of official details and unofficial rumors but we'll be sure to provide further updates as Lucasfilm prepares for the film's launch - which is just over a year away. Other reports maintain that a villain from the past could also reappear (read: "Awakening" after decades). We assume that at least one of the main characters (played by John Boyega and Daisy Ridley) will discover a sensitivity to the Force, which some could consider an "Awakening" to untapped powers.
That said, the emphasis on "Awakens" also has several other possible meanings - should rumors turn out to be true. As a result, if the Dark Side has been defeated and the Light Side's champion is a hermit, the Galaxy would be in a period where the Force is somewhat "dormant" - and Episode 7 might see the Force re-Awakening (reaffirming its influence on the surrounding people and events).
After all, the inciting event of The Force Awakens is rumored to center-on a search for Luke Skywalker - who has disappeared from the public eye. Several Episode 7 actors have already been rumored as the next generation of "Jedi Hunters" (specifically Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, and Lupita Nyong'o) - suggesting that after the fall of the Emperor, the Jedi have been laying low while these non-Sith mercenaries hold down the fort in the Sith's absence. Thanks to Rebels, we already know that Darth Vader was using a non-Sith warrior, known as The Inquisitor, to track and kill potential threats to the Dark Side - forcing any surviving members of the Jedi order (and others who are force sensitive) into hiding. Still, the notion that the Force "Awakens", certainly seems to back-up prior reports that Jedi heroes and Sith Lords are no longer out in the open in this timeframe of the Star Wars galaxy - a story beat that has been somewhat explored already in the new animated series Star Wars: Rebels.
