I do too but how do we know he'll answer the call?
He might be reluctant to get involved again after his self perceived failure with whichever student it was went rogue?

And in that light he might not want to train Rey?
I meant Hamill. I hope Hamill delivers.

All he really has to do is have some serious gravitas about him. Don't think we're gonna se him fighting anyone in the next one

I hope they just undo all the victories of this movie and tell the same story again in the next one.

I barely remember since the whole thing was so smooth and lacking in incident. But that's what happens when competent people are in charge of routine tasks.

Strange they didn't use any of the beehive huts On the island but maybe in the next one?

He seems to be standing at a headstone. But further up the hill to Reys right there's a cave entrance which I took to be his dwelling. A lot of focus was put on that cave during filming there and people reported seeing cooking utensils etc.

So perhaps it's not the first temple but a sith tomb with some sort of powerful artefacts that he's keeping under guard in case Snoke etc Come to find them?
What if thats Vader´s tomb?

Vader it isn't. Had no powerful artefacts and Ren already has his mask remember.

Well, according to the Principle of Maximum References, that only leaves the Emperor's cooked, mangled scrotum-like figure.

This makes loads more sense

Reys vision when she touched the saber, is explained as both hers and Lukes memories.

"Spoiler alert: When Daisy Ridley’s Rey experiences a powerful flashback after finding Luke Skywalker’s old lightsaber, her memories mingle with Luke’s – leaving her confused and overwhelmed."
