Luke Skywalker is an evil robot who has fallen to the dark side of the force.
Darth Vader’s possible robotishness is one of the oldest Star Wars rumors and appeared for the first time following the release of the original Star Wars in 1977. In a list of former Star Wars rumors, Hollywood.com said contemporary fans believed the David Prowse played villain to be all machine because “he’s completely concealed in armor” and the Sith Lord’s “heavy-footed gait has a metallic clank.” Rumors about a possible evil robotic Luke Skywalker hit the Internet when BadassDigest.com contributed a rumor that the new Star Wars film will open not with a spaceship flying overhead, but a disembodied hand falling through space and holding Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber.
