Nuke Skywalker?!?!?!?

On the IMDB page of Episode 8, there is a character played by actor Christopher Kardos names "Nuke Skywalker".... I am hoping it is a typo but it has been there for some time and nobody has corrected it as yet.

There is speculation whether this is the boy who brought Luke's order down, a clone of Luke, a younger Luke, a lost son, a victim of the jedi massacre etc....also that this is not the final name and the real name will be revealed closer to the release date.
*I don't like this one bit*

Do not forget that IMDB is highly unreliable.
Anybody can do the editing there.
I think it is a troll doing.

I hope so...I've seen it for a couple of days now and already seen videos on youtube of it and yet it hasn't been removed....so a bit worried....if he is playing Luke for flashbacks or a clone (Luuke from the EU), that is still okay.

A troll on IMDB.

But "Nuke Skywalker" sounds like angry Luke blowing up the hut, lol.

@Moonjump05

But wouldn't LF have removed this by now if it was added by some troll?

Does LF or Disney do anything with IMDB? I thought it was all just random people.

Even if it were random people, I doubt Disney/LF would want something like that to remain on that website, knowing a lot of people check it.

@Echobase ..... while I agree there is a strong chance it is fake, I don't think it should be so summarily dismissed as troll activity.... legends has an instance where Luke was cloned and the evil clone was called Luuke (which is also a weird name) so what stops LF/Disney from bringing something like that into the story.....especially since the Vader comic arc was all about cloning...and this is canon.

I am not quite sure how the things work on IMDB in relation to official sources.

On the other hand: I found there in credits something interesting (though could be fake as well):

Daniel Westwood ... body double: Benicio Del Toro

@Darth_Awakened

He does have more than a passing resemblance to BDT.

NUKE Skywalker? LOL maybe this should go in the crack theories thread...

I checked the IMDB Faq.....it seems that both normal visitors and studios/production houses submit movie information for the website...the site does regular quality checks and removes inaccurate information....so if this information if not changed for a couple of weeks, it would be fair to say that the information is either submitted by Disney/LF or is at least accurate.

Also, even if Disney/LF don't care, wouldn't the actor himself have requested that the information be removed from his page if it was so inaccurate?

@Mana .... Nuke could be a working title and not the final name (in case the information is accurate)

@panki

Maybe it's a working title for flashback-Luke?

There where pre TFA rumors, pre Kasden script, that Luke's power had become so powerful, that his presence on Tatooine had actually destroyed some of it's environment....

@Echobase ..... I'm actually hoping it is either flashback Luke or a clone Luke since that could take care of dark Luke rumors without damaging the real Luke's character....and it still leaves Ben as the only Skywalker child.

@spacebaby45678 ..... old rumors are a small thing..... this is a situation where an actor has this role listed on his IMDB page...I think he would have removed inaccurate information from the website himself or at least contacted the IMDB people about it.

@panki

Do you have a link? Somehow the IMDb site is down. I could harrass Pablo and ask him, what's this all about .

People are theorising about this already! This guy also mentions Luuke from the Thrawn Trilogy:



Personally, I have a feeling it might be someone came up with it and wanted people to go crazy over it. When TFA cast was first announced, Daisy Ridley was listed on IMDB as Jaina Solo due to the resemblance, despite the fact that nothing about her character was known at the time.

Maybe Nuke Skywalker nuked the IMDb down?
If you want you could harass Mr. Hidalgo (or his new twitter name whatever it is now...)

Luke's secret other twin who happens to be evil and obsessed with explosions.

I got through to the imdb site.

This is the movie link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2527336/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast
This is the link to the actor's page where he is listed as Nuke Skywalker: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3681852/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t31

Actually, that is a good idea..hopefully PH will clear up whether it is real or fake.

@Helix ... I felt Nuke could be a working title to indicate this is a clone of Luke created by Snoke.

@panki: damn it, IMDb is down. I'm sure they are spying on me, they don't want me to discover the truth

Lol....

@panki: I used your screenshot, hope that is ok .

No problem I'm actually keen to find out if there is something to it (more to speculate about) or whether someone is playing an elaborate prank.
