As the release date for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” grows nearer, it’s becoming clear that the location of Luke Skywalker is going to be one of the plot-points of the new film. Is he lost? Gone to the Dark Side? Subletting Yoda’s tiny shack thanks to high galactic real estate prices? Most of us will be able to find out in a week or so, but right now, I’m thinking about all the cool unseen possibilities. Is Luke selling used ships on Tattooine? Hanging out with Boba Fett, making amends for that whole Sarlacc incident? With the full power of the Spoilerites in play, surely we can come up with something cool for him to have been doing, leading us to today’s power-converting query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) has a theory involving time-travel and a vat of chemicals at the Atlas Playing Card Company, leading to a rivalry with Gotham City’s defender, asking: How would YOU best answer the question, ‘Where is Luke Skywalker?”

Last I saw, he was in jail in Central City. No, wait, that’s not it….
How about this: He realized that by taking down Jabba, he became the defacto leader of his criminal underworld, and has been running it ever since. Luke is now the Space Godfather.
That is EXCELLENT…
“Skywalker? I heard he tried to upgrade his hand and ended up with an oversized fist. He died his hair yellow, and went on a villainous rampage until he was stopped by two stoners.”
“Nah! After defeating the empire, he returned to his home planet of Hyperion, to try to end a civil war with the help of an Earth submarine crew captained by that shark guy.”
“Don’t listen to those mooks, son! Here’s the real scoop! That Skywalker kid went full-robot, and merged with C-3PO. He’s now calling himself ‘Larry’ and with a guy called Buck travels through the time-stream keeping it safe for all mankind.”
“I heard he finally succumbed to the Dark Side, and now spends his days fighting a kid and five robot monkeys for some backwater planet in the Empire called Shuggazoom.”
“Luke Skywalker? I dont know any Skywalker but old Luke lives in the sand dunes, hes a weird old hermit.”
