He had it at the end of RotJ. No reason for him not to still have it.

IIRC, it was said Luke sought out the origins of the Jedi Order in the time between eps 6 and 7, and that symbol is the symbol of the jedi order. In the old EU, the beginning of the jedi was on the planet Tython, but in this new canon it's probably the planet luke and Rey were on at the end of ep 7 (the name escapes me). Given Luke's words at the end of the trailer, I surmise that book is some long lost piece of Jedi lore, possibly even from its founding, but Luke has found either some terrible secret or some fundamental flaw that he thinks cannot be fixed without eliminating Jedi, dark or light, entirely. An interesting sort of true neutral take on the universe's karmic reality if so.
The poetry....
He could have built a new one. Gave his old one to some kid.
Not equality, equilibrium.
The Jedi and the Sith are extremes on the spectrum. There is no middle ground with either faction. They both have to end because their battle for dominance always tips the scale to one extreme making things really out of balance.
Emotion, darkness, compassion, etc - people have all of these things and you have to embrace the light and the dark and walk the middle path.
Luke is probably realizing that trying to restart the Jedi was just repeating old mistakes and that you have to make something new that embraces the entire spectrum of the force.

iTunes Trailers usually gets it first, with 5.1 versions usually filtering out to places like the above in the following days.
Not up anywhere but YouTube at the moment.
Popular thing is well-liked, say the new thing is okay or bad or like the old one to try and upset people. Rinse and repeat forever.
Yeah that part looked like they edited it so it just looked like Phasma was at the temple

Sorry that the single time I watched this trailer at low bitrate offended your passion for salt flats. I've updated my post so that you can sleep at night.

Well, sure.
I've always been a fan of Secret Option C: training is not important; letting the Force guide you is.
It's what leads Rey to victory over Kylo in TFA.
It's what leads Luke to victory over the Death Star in ANH.
It's what leads Luke to reject Obi-Wan and Yoda's insistence that he must defeat Vader.
It's also a good excuse for the Jedi to be more of a problem than a solution. Jedi dogma may not be the way to harmony with the Force; it may just be mortal-made dogma.

The first teaser and official trailer of the first movie two years back had a lot more hype to it. If this wasn't SW, I don't think I'd care that much about it based on the trailer.

When you make unfounded claims that you pulled out of your ass, you're going to get criticized, you really shouldn't be surprised about it
It has the darker more ominous feel rather than the more hopeful adventurous TFA trailer.
That's it really, to me from that very limited info it looks like the "Resistance is on the ropes and the Jedi are the last hope" thing, which reminds me personally of Empire.
Nowhere did I say it's a copy paste though, and as I pointed out later having a darker middle is fairly classic storytelling
sorry for saying that something reminded me personally of something else by making an incredibly vague statement that I didn't realize was so personally affective I beseech the forgiveness of the many
It's like when Batman gave away his boobie goggles in Begins.

The dark side was never about selfish influence
The dark side was always about using your emotions to invoke the force, even if that meant that negative emotions invoked a stronger Force.
The light side is about suppressinf your emotions to invoke the force with more control over it.
In order to master it, Rey will have to learn both.

I was bullshitting on twitter (surprise!) the other night talking with Steele of Steele Wars, who is really, really craving Luke firing up his green saber as a hero moment in this movie, and I was like "yeah, but what if it's white though."
Like, at first it was just to fuck with Steele, but then I was like - what if his 10 years on a rock in self-imposed exile has basically put him in the same headspace as Ahsoka was post Clone Wars.
I doubt they're going to do it (It'd depend on Filoni introducing the idea to the canon in his show as a means to make it a little more palatable when revealed in the film years later) but it could fit, depending on whether Luke's character really has decided that trying to pursue the Jedi religion is ultimately a mistake, and that a different path must be taken.

Pretty good! And this was suppose to be a teaser? The first real trailer is going to be hype as fuck.
They already used him as bait-switch for Rey - his role in this is done...
Nah i think that is luke saying it at the end, im not so sure about the "i only know one truth" part. That might be kylo?
There will be atleast 2 more. Try and avoid those next 2 if you dont want story beats spoiled.
Did anyone else hear the vader breath during this scene of Kylos helmet? Or am I imagining things? Does Kylo somehow get vader's helmet back in working order?!?!
Also - I really love Kylos helmet. Ill be a little upset if we only got it for 1 movie. It has such an iconic look.

I don't really grasp what this means. If it didn't have the things in it that make it what it is, you wouldn't be interested?
I can see it
Not really easy to see but here's a better look at Kylo's scar
Doesn't seem like it's very prominent, which is a good thing.
Villains with facial scars are such a tired cliche.
Yoda stressed that the prophecy might have been misinterpreted, and i very much think that's the angle Lucas himself was going for. Obviously the Jedi were portrayed as being somewhat in the wrong (it was just hard to see with how much of a whiny bint Anakin ended up being, making it harder to sympathize with him).
I guess the Orthodox Jedi view of the balance prophecy was rooted in their dogma that the Light side of the force was natural while the Dark side was an aberration. The presence of the darkness is itself an imbalance, and therefore destroying the Sith was the act of balance-bringing.
The "plain text" view of balance would be that the two sides must be equal in power for there to be balance, and so Anakin *did* bring balance to the Force by reducing the number of Jedi from thousands to just two, Obi-wan and Yoda against Vader and Sidious.
But there is definitely room for more readings of balance, that spirituality is more than just the clash between Lawful Good and Chaotic Evil, which is certainly something that's been advocated for by many force users in the expanded universe (without taking on Kreia's nihilistic view of good and evil both being stupid).

Yeh that was one incredibly boring trailer. Lucas arts under Disney seems to have a good quality control over it's movies though so it should be alright.
At the very end of the trailer, after The Last Jedi title, you can hear his "theme"

Trailer was actually a tad too unfocused for me. But if we get a space battle and side by side sith and Jedi training sequences then I am 100% in.

I mean, duh. What kind of hypothetical movie would this be if it wasn't Star Wars? It IS Star Wars, that's the point.
I never understand posts like these lol
