Deranged for that long seclusion, Skywalker might return to "society" wielding a great power that even he couldn't take control of.
Citing the site Making Star Wars, the website further reported that Luke Skywalker will have a "creepy and frightening appearance" which suggests that his madness (brought by seclusion) will result to the "awakening" of his evil self.
"However, the villain and the new hero both draw Skywalker out and he's forced to intervene in the galactic conflict," Screen Rant clarified.
"Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens" is slated to hit the big screen on Dec. 18, 2015.
