The other day, I saw on a news site The Verge an image from the new Star Wars
movie and it had a question without the question marker particle at the end:

The question was:

> どこから来たの? (Where are you from?)

I was expecting the particle `か` at the end.

Are these edge cases or are there patterns of questions that can omit the
question marker ?

No question marker questions
Questions in plain speech are usually without か. With it, they sound masculine
and slightly rough. Questions in polite speech can also be without か, but to
me that sounds slightly feminine unless there's a question word such as 何 or
どう; in either case, it's more colloquial than a question with か.
