The Force Awakens: 10 Mysteries We Hope Will Be Solved
By Elaine Tveit
10. Okay, seriously: Where’s Luke?
It’s no secret Luke Skywalker has been kept a secret for The Force Awakens. The only trace of him we’ve seen in trailers so far is a hooded man with a bionic hand, which he places on R2’s dome as if giving, or perhaps seeking, consolation.

His lightsaber, which he lost in Cloud City in his duel with Darth Vader, has been found again, and is probably going to end up being the McGuffin of the film.
