"Star Wars Episode 7" rumors have been dropping on Internet sites lately and Disney, as well as director JJ Abrams, has been content to letting them spread without confirming anything. At least, Al Pacino is willing to talk about news related to the franchise.
According to the "Star Wars Episode 7" rumors over at Latino Review, there will be nobody who can manipulate the force in the new movie.
"There are no Jedi whatsoever, and people still speak as if they are extinct, with Luke being 'the last of his kind,' the website said, citing the "Star Wars Episode 7" rumors started by an anonymous user going by the handle of "Mizzlewump."
Early "Star Wars Episode 7" rumors revealed that Luke Skywalker (Mark Hammill) has gone missing for 30 years as he is imprisoned, although fans have dismissed these as just idle know as they don't believe that a Skywalker can be detained that long.
This early, rumors have been flying that the lead characters would be Han Solo and Leia's daughter (to be played probably Carrie Fisher's real daughter Billie Lourd) and Lando's son. There's also another lead who is a Stormtrooper, who could either be a man or woman.
The alleged plot also made its way to rumorville and initially, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega will go on a search for Luke Skywalker after his lightsaber falls on a planet. They meet up with Han Solo and Chewbacca and continue their search.
Meanwhile, Al Pacino talked to MTV about being offered the role of Han Solo in the original "Star Wars" and why he turned it down.
He said at that point, everybody was giving him scripts so he had to turn down some of them, particularly after his breakthrough role in "The Godfather." So when the part of Han Solo was offered to him, this is what he had to say:
"I remember not understanding it when I read it ... Another missed opportunity."
