Rumor: WWE Wrestler Sheamus to Play Darth Vader in Episode VII

File this one under the "Huh?" category.  The Irish Mirror is reporting that WWE Wrestler Sheamus was on set on Skillig Michael this past weekend, where it is believed that JJ Abrams was shooting scenes for Star Wars Episode VII (possibly with Mark Hamill).  Sheamus has previously portrayed Darth Vader in promotional videos.  Sheamus tweeted an image of the article saying, "I cant confirm that i wont not be reprising role of Darth Vader in ... I hope that's clear @IrishMirror ;)"
For the record, I sincerely doubt this will happen (it was just too funny not to report).  The Mirror is a British tabloid and British tabloids have a tendency not to be true.  Still, anything is possible.

If it's a vision or a nightmare or a hologram/holocron, that sounds good. But I just don't want to see any clones of Vader running around. Darrth Vaader.

Also, do we know for sure it's Episode VII? Maybe it's for some other project, like a Vader TV special?

Could said island be a hide out hermitage for Luke? Where he confronts his old demons, letting his father die so on... Could reappear as in some vision much like he did on dagoba. Luke may fear he could still become his father....hence his excile to this remote place.
