So when the Star Wars trailer dropped, an immediate question was asked. Who was narrating it? Well we found out that it was Andy Serkis, but this led to another question. Who is he in the movie?

Well, according to The Star Wars Underworld, we may have the information. Here’s what they think:

“Andy Serkis’ character basically looks like an old man, zombie like, almost risen from the dead.
He is being referred to as “Uber”, similarly to how Ridley is being called Kira and Nyong’o is being called Rose.
“Uber” has communication with Adam Driver’s Sith character, and a character played by Domhnall Gleeson. Serkis potentially is the Master pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
All three characters are part of the new “Empire” which Gwendoline Christie’s character is also a part of. She is confirmed to be playing a Chrome Trooper.”

What do you think? Could this be something cool? Let us know in the comments below!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
