Potential for The Force Awakens in comments (voicetesting/bandwagon jumping)

[shortforastormtrooper]

[Have a A New Hope-era Luke Skywalker, people.]

Mun? Mun? What are you keeping from me? I should be celebrating! We just blew up the Death Star!

I mean, yeah... we lost Ben. I still miss him. But things have to be looking up. We hit the Empire hard!

...Mun? Why do you keep looking away?

[Why not complicate things further? Ben is the name he has chosen for himself while he watches over Luke, yet this must be some coincidence.]

How did you lose this...Ben?

[shortforastormtrooper]

[Huh. This guy kind of looks familiar...]

[Luke shakes his head, replaying the scene in his mind.]

He sacrificed himself fighting Darth Vader, so the rest of us could escape.

[abovedeception]

[Clearly he never loses his selfless streak. Not that he can blame his older self.]

You must be Luke, then.

[shortforastormtrooper]

[Okay, getting weird...]

Uh... yeah. Have we met?

[abovedeception]

Yes, though you could hardly remember. I know you only as an infant.

[neverjoinyou]

[Do you mind doubles?]

[shortforastormtrooper]

[Don't mind at all! C'mon down!]

[shortforastormtrooper]

[Oh, okay. That makes sense.]

Did you know Ben?

[abovedeception]

I don't know him as well as you, I'm afraid. What was he like?

okay so for contrast, have a post-ROTJ Luke despite the icons

[neverjoinyou]

Yeah. You should be celebrating.

[They're the same man, all right, but this one's got a sadness in his eyes the other lacks.]

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Just be prepared. It's not over.

[shortforastormtrooper]

He was... strange, sometimes. My uncle didn't like me talking to him; he was afraid Ben would start filling my head with wild ideas.

But there was always a quiet strength about him. I feel like... like he believed in me, in a way no one else ever had.

[abovedeception]

[He nods slowly, looking a little amused.] Wild ideas come easily to him all things considered.

Of course he believes in you. I imagine he started believing in you when you were very small.

[shortforastormtrooper]

You... you're...

[But he can see the sadness that weighs the other Luke down.]

I... I guess some part of me kind of thought it was. It all seemed to simple, for a minute.

[captainpike]

[Empire? Death Star?]

I take it...you're in the middle of a war?

[Pike is only guessing, but he's had enough experience fighting to make an educated guess. Is this kid really old enough to be fighting a war?]

[shortforastormtrooper]

[He can't help but smile, if just for a moment.]

You know, I think you're right. I get the feeling he'd been looking out for me for a long time.

Still feel like he is, really.

[shortforastormtrooper]

Smack dab in the middle of it. We just blew up their big new weapon, but there's still a lot more of them out there than us.

[captainpike]

[Pike gives him a scrutinizing look.]

Aren't you a little young to be fighting a war?

[shortforastormtrooper]

I'm nineteen.

[He shakes his head.]

Nothing left for me to do but fight them anyway.

[abovedeception]

Since the beginning - or maybe before! It all depends on perspective. [He shrugs, smiling secretively.] A little thing like death won't stop him.

[captainpike]

[Arms crossed.]

You look 16.

[Sad situation, when kids had to go to war. Pike's seen enough fighting to last his own timeline, he had hoped the next generations would be better at getting along. However, if some Empire was trying to take over...]

[neverjoinyou]

I know. I remember.

Yeah, this is weird. I know. It's weird for me too.

I just... I want you to know. It's gonna get weird. A lot weirder. But it'll be okay.

Have a Nine?

[agooddalek]

Losing people is hard, but it's always great when you win the day, isn't it? Those days are fantastic.

[neverbeenajedi]

Glad to know my "death" did something good for the galaxy.

[Starkiller can sense something familiar about this guy, but he can't quite put his finger on it.]

Have we met? You seem really...familiar.

[shortforastormtrooper]

Well, I'm not.

[Whining about not getting to go to Toshe Station aside--and that was a lifetime ago it seems like.]

[shortforastormtrooper]

I thought... I thought I heard him, even after he died. I thought at first I imagined it, but I'm not so sure...
