Thought they showed him without his mask in the trailers. Must have been thinking a magazine

I haven't looked into the character beyond what I saw in the trailers. I just found it strange that they would lerave out Luke from the poster if he is in the film.
That tends to happen if there's something about the character's appearance or involvement that needs to remain concealed for story purposes. And there we have a masked lightsaber weilding character, so I thought it'd fit.
Though not that I think this is neccesarily the case, but even if that character has a different face, that doesn't rule out that it could still be Luke.
He could be dressing up like this hooded man at some point in the film, so the character on the poster could represent both of them.
Or perhaps he went undercover and wears a mask or something, etc.
I think most people are expecting Luke to be in it, since Han and Leia are. So omitting him from the poster wouldn't really do much in terms of lowering people's expectations in that regard, I suspect. Perhaps there is something about his appearance that they want to conceal. But they could have just shown something like the backside of a person holding a green lightsaber in that case. A bit of an odd choice to not include such a huge icon on the promo poster.

More than likely he just doesn't have that huge of a role in the story. Plus there are multiple posters for these types of movies, I doubt this'll be the only final poster for 7. Remember, we never see more than Luke's hand in the trailer. It could be that he is also disfigured or dies early on. Based off what is publically known of Kylo Ren, he's the least likely person to be Luke. What is more interesting than Kylo's role is Luke's role. We really have little to no information on his character and what he does in 7. I feel as though he'll probably be killed off like ObiWan in 4
