SPOILERS: Possible Description For Epic Sounding STAR WARS EPISODE VIII Fight Scene Revealed
If the following description of a battle between three key characters in Star Wars Episode VIII is accurate, expect to have your minds blown next December, because this sounds all sorts of awesome...
Making Star Wars shared a lot of Star Wars: The Force Awakens story spoilers which were later shown to be accurate, and they now have a description up for a key scene from Episode VIII. The site claims to have seen set photos of seven men clad all in black who are more than likely the Knights of Ren, and their sources have got in touch with a breakdown of a scene which takes place between them, Kylo Ren, Luke Skywalker, and Rey. In case you haven't already realised after that big old red tag in the headline, potentially major spoilers for the Rian Johnson helmed release do indeed follow below.
Luke Skywalker and Rey are on Ahch-To just before nightfall as the sun sets in the background and it starts to rain. Kylo Ren and The Knights of Ren turn up along the coast. Kylo Ren continues advancing towards the heroes with the Knights of Ren. Kylo does not wear the mask here. Kylo has the same cross guard saber as he did in VII. Rey and Kylo Ren duel one-on-one and end up fighting alongside the cliff face over looking the nighttime water. Kylo wants his revenge after Rey disgraced him. The Knights of Ren go for Luke Skywalker while Rey is left for Kylo.
Luke Skywalker engages the knights on the beach while Kylo attempts to kill Rey. The first black knight has an axe and moves towards the Luke but is Force pushed away to his death after being thrown through the air. After Luke dispatches the first knight he ignites his green lightsaber. Luke moves through each knight one by one. Rey and Kylo’s battle moves up to the side of a cliff. Suddenly Rey is nowhere to be seen. She’s taken out of the battle, either wounded or appears to go over the side of the cliff. Luke Skywalker casually walks towards Kylo to finish him but Kylo retreats when he sees Skywalker and his crew defeated. Luke Skywalker is a badass Jedi and he’ll destroy your squad.
Well, that sounds pretty awesome, right?
Ahch-To is of course the planet Rey found Luke on in the closing moments of The Force Awakens, and it definitely sounds as if she spends quite a bit of time there if Kylo has the time to track her and Luke down. Him being afraid of his uncle is certainly an interesting development, as is the fact that the Jedi Knight is still powerful enough to take down every single one of his Knights in one fell swoop.
As with any rumour, take this with a pinch of salt for now. Would you like to see this in Episode VIII?
