Good Morning America had their segment on The Force Awakens today, and their “exclusives” are fairly underwhelming: The first is one we’ve heard before and have little reason to disbelieve: The voiceover is Andy Serkis.
And tonight, if there was any doubt…
At Hobbit world premiere where @AndySerkis says he's amazed by reaction to @StarWars trailer, and says Yes, that was his voice!

Slightly more intriguing is that they claim the lightsaber heard at the very end of the teaser is the blue one Luke has in A New Hope… Hmm. Disney company or no, not sure I trust GMA has that officially, but I assume we’ll get more as the day goes on. So that’s our new debate for today. Whoo.
*********POTENTIAL SPOILERS***************
So, with them claiming that the lightsaber is Luke/Anakin’s old saber, does that lend any credence to those old rumors that we’ll see Luke’s hand and saber floating around space and landing in the desert? Something to chew on….
Luke clone anyone? It will be interesting to see how they explain the Bespin recovery. I guess Vader could have sent a probe to find it after the events of Empire. It was originally his saber after all.
The saber, sure, but I doubt they’ll reuse the clone thing at this point.
