Star Wars 8: Luke was MARRIED? Last Jedi novel LEAK – Is Mara Jade Rey’s mother?

The new novelisation of Episode 8 might just contain one of the biggest reveals in Star Wars history.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Expanded Edition) by Jason Fry will be released next month.

The title alone confirms that it will include scenes and details that go beyond what was shown on screen. A shocking new leak has ignited the fandom online with the apparent revelation that one of the “expanded” details concerns Luke’s own personal life.

This follows hot on the heels of the trailer for the home entertainment packages which promised 14 deleted scenes.

Until now, in the movies at least, Luke’s love life has remained shrouded in mystery. It was assumed that he had followed the Jedi path and eschewed relationships and love, which were regarded as a weakness.

In the spin-off Star Wars Legends materials it was very different and his wife was Mara Jade. But anting which happened in these old comic books, novels and animated series is no longer regarded as canon by the new Disney order.

However the latest book which is due to hits shelves very soon has a shocking and unequivocable opening line.

One reader has leaked a photograph of the first page which is a prologue to the main story.

Of course, there is a possibility that what the first sentence reveals is an alternate timeline or even Luke dreaming about what he wished had happened.

However, it seems most likely that the novel is about to reveal an absolutely staggering new canon detail.

Numerous fan sites and Star Wars Youtube commentators have already started sharing the opening line from the novelisation of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Scroll down to read the explosive leaked extract.

WARNING MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD

According to these reports, it reads: “Luke Skywalker stood in the cooling sands of Tatooine, his wife by his side.”

There is no way to interpret tis in any other fashion.

Luke was married.

Now the major questions will immediately and inevitably concern the identity of this new character. Of course, many fans will again start to wonder if this has anything to do with Rey’s parentage.

Although Kylo Ren told her the supposed identity of her parents, many fans have always been convinced it was a bluff or misdirection.

Is this leak true? Did Luke have a wife? Who was she? Could she be Rey’s mother?

Will any of this be revealed when the book hits stores or is this another Disney Star Wars misdirection?

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Expanded Edition) will be released on March 8 (Century: £20)
