I can't believe i'm now old enough to see an Ben Kenobi-esqe Luke in my lifetime. And i'm sure i will have a figure of him.
"Strange days have found us."
That photo of Hamill shows, why I am positive about the whole "Luke gone for 30 year" idea.
Apart from it being intriguing, mysterious and having a potential to be a great plot pusher (if used correctly), the image of a bearded, old, worse for wear looking Luke, traveling the galaxy as lonely Jedi Hermit, is awesome in so many ways.
Let them make him a bit crazy too Grumpy, sharped tongued warrior, who has a hard time getting back into the fold, and has no patience for Han and his wise-ass ********
Just imagine no PT garbage and we went from ROTJ straight to this 32 yrs later.
Indeed, I was born in 1977 I've been a fan ever since I can remember, and I never thought we'd ever see another starwars with the originals actors. It's a very weird feeling even though it's just a silly movie series, but I guess it holds a place in my heart.I can't believe i'm now old enough to see an Ben Kenobi-esqe Luke in my lifetime.

......is that not what's happening? What is this 'PT' you speak of....
Following ROTJ Luke has a lot of work to do. He needs to re-assemble as much lost Jedi knowledge as possible. Ben and Yoda only had time to give Luke the cliff notes version. There's thousands of years of teaching and Luke only has the rest of his life to put it all back together. That means Luke would have to travel the galaxy looking for old temple ruins, holocrons, the Kaiburr Crystal, and all sorts of cool stuff. Along the way he also needs to train one or two students to carry the flame. Yeah, I could see where he might leave and not be heard from for 30 years.
He might also feel the need to atone for dad's sins. Perhaps he's doing missionary work. He might show up in some tiny village on a backwater planet.

Yup. At the end of ROTJ, his entire Jedi ability consisted of swinging his light saber from side to side.
Maybe he'll be like Godzilla.Watch he's in the movie for 2 minutes.
