would he be? He almost died and was saved by the father that wanted to kill him at times and also he was wearing black last we saw him
He wore a black shirt the entire movie. The same movie where he was tempted by two sith and didn't join them.

Take your first step into a larger world.
There's actually a lot of visual symbolism in Star Wars, some of it is really subtle. I didn't notice a lot of it until I saw the redlettermedia reviews of Episode 1-3.
Lukes outfit at the end of RotJ is something that you don't notice,
but your brain did.

This is one of the best things I've ever seen. "What are midiclorians?" "It's heroin" lol!
Ha ha! Fantastic!! I hope they make him a Jedi this time around.

will only watch if Karl Pilkington is his side-kick.
Pilkington & Davis are the real life 3PO & R2.
Side note - Davis was also in The Phantom Menace.
He was also Anakin's young Rodian friend in that movie.

Oh yes! I was totally waiting for this to see what they made out of this question. I don't think the PT is as bad as many people say, but this Midiclorians stuff is non sense.
I now its EU and now gone - but was this guy Greedo?

Nah. Greedo shows up in a Phantom Menace deleted scene. He gets in a fight with Anakin, and Qui-Gon pulls Anakin off of him. As they walk off, Warwick Davis' character tells Greedo if he keeps this up he's gonna meet a bad end.

So that huge rumour/spoiler from a few weeks back
was just speculation from these leaked concept photos?
It sounded alot more confirmed at the time...
That the final scene reveals Luke having turned to the darkside
It sounded alot more confirmed at the time...

Nah, the guy making the speculation made sure to specify that it was "informed speculation" on his part, not a definite spoiler.
The guy who wrote it added disclaimers about pieces of the puzzle missing, and the theory still being speculation, but he seemed confident and everyone just rolled with the rumor. Comparing it to ESB's "No, I am your father" moment in his title probably had something to do with that.

Shouldn't principal photography i.e. filming be finished soon?
I think they said three more weeks a few days ago.

One of my favorite Prequel Behind the Scene photo. Another one I remember was the closeup on Shaak Ti Face, which I found pretty awesome.
I would be terribly disappointed if that spoiler turns out to be true.

not sure where the writer got that scene description, but could that be endor and the troopers are looking for vader remains i.e. the helmet? maybe not though if supposedly han solo and chewie are there as well.

I find this hair style amusing.
I forget, is that supposed to be Han and Leia's daughter or no?

I'll go and see the shittest movie in existence just to see the SW trailer. And promptly walk out before the movie even begins.
Yes, I'm that sad and yes I know it'll likely leak on the internet first...

If this was 1998, the post would be the EXACT same, it's just the movie in question would be Meet Joe Black instead of Into the Woods.
But they can't attempt withholding the digital version for any longer than like, an HOUR after it hits screens. Because there is NO WAY they're going to staunch the flood of cammed copies that will hit youtube. And it'll be a flood.

I don't think they're going to make a main character in the sequel trilogy dependent on having seen their animated show that's struggling for viewers at 9pm on Monday Nights on premium channel.
Rebels is a cartoon with bad ratings on a premium network. No chance.

Such an important thematic motif that they even included an interchangeable tunic front for the six inch Black Series ROTJ Luke they just released.

If Luke doesn't turn to the dark side in ROTJ
I really can't see him going dark in the sequels. Especially as he clearly says "Never. I'll never turn to the dark side. You've failed your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me"
Then promptly throws away his lightsaber, brings his father back from the dark side and sees his force ghost. I know a lot can happen in 30 years, but if he was going to turn, logically that would have happened after the events of ESB or ROTJ.

He's not gonna turn, I don't think. The speculation that was pointing towards that was apparently based largely on hearing that Luke does SOMETHING that's not altogether on the up & up in the movie, combined with the pre-production art that they interpreted as being OF Luke.
Of course now, we've seen that art, and that guy doesn't really look like Hamill at all.
He'll probably be changed/off/different from where we last left him, but he's not going to be a Sith, I don't think. He might not be nice, kindly old Luke though, either.

I know that. Episode VII takes places a whopping 30 years later.

or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Realize This Assgrab is Delicious
I think this is potentially true symbolically.
But at the same time, that uniform he is wearing was intended to be the original Jedi uniform at the time of filming ROTJ.
In pre-production for Episode I, the Jedis were going to wear Luke's ROTJ robe. Only after some deliberation did Lucas decide that actually, the Jedis should wear Ben Kenobi's hobo robe.
I think it would make a lot more sense if they went with the first idea. First of all, Luke's ROTJ garb looks so much more like a uniform, and it looked modern, sleek and cool (and would have remained so in 1999 as well. It's very "Matrix".). Second, it meant that you could re-contextualize Luke's costume in ROTJ as symbolically the Return of the Jedi... it would have been a highly symbolic act of rebellion that he was openly walking around in the uniform of the fallen Jedi, symbolizing their return. Third, we are to believe that Obi Wan goes into hiding... and he just wears the Jedi robe for 20+ years? That's a horrible disguise, and kind of sad at the same time. I really think when we first watched the OT, that was originally intended by the creators (and interpreted by the viewers) as a hermit's robe unique to Obi, not a a Jedi robe.

Well also Uncle Owen wears something similar. It seems to me it was more of a Tatooine thing than a Jedi thing. But George will be George. I wouldn't have been surprised to see all the new black people in the PT (well, the 1 or 2 of them) wearing the same cape as Lando since in his mind it became a black person uniform.
