    I'll be disappointed if we don't get Yoda and Obi-Ewan force ghosts at some point.

    I can imagine Luke asking them for help with Rey.

    "Your own father you should ask, Luke. Redeemed, he is, is he not?"
    "Yoda tells the truth... from a certain point of view."
    "Dammit you two!"

    I could be dead wrong, but I have a feeling that Snoke isn't a Sith, but represents a completely new kind of Dark Sider.

    So, weird questions occur to me...

    What are Ben and Yoda's Force Ghosts doing when they're not giving creepy, enigmatic warnings to Luke?

    Are they just kinda hanging around a spiritual plane, waiting for the right opportunity to drop in on Luke? Imagine Obi-Wan floating around, bored, just passing time, and then all of a sudden it occurs to him: "Oh! Luke just escaped from a Wampa! Time to give him a mysterious message about going to Dagobah to train with Yoda while he still might be able to write it off as an hallucination..."

    Are the Force Ghosts looking at the real world in their spare time? Or can they only sense the world when they "appear?"

    Are they conscious at all when they're not being seen as a vision? Or do they spring back into existence whenever the Force decides to move the plot along? Either way is kindof a hell. If they're conscious but unable to interact with the real world, you'd think they'd go insane after a while. And if they're re-awakened every time they appear, their existence is just one springing back to life after another. And what happens if there's no one to appear to? Can the Force Ghosts appear only to the Force-sensitive, or could they appear to anyone?

    These questions keep me awake nights. :calli:

    Well, now you know why Jedis are celibate. I mean, would you want to "pop-in" on someone only to discover they're getting their freak on? Awkward!!!

    They're probably "at one with the force" or some shit like that.

    Imagine the force as the Monsters Inc dimension, and imagine force sensitives in our dimension as the closet doors.

    Or, if you prefer, and this explains the timing factor, Interstallar.
    Where Obi-Wan is Cooper, the force is the bookcase dimension, and Luke is Murph.

    Doesn't have quite the punch of the trailers from Rogue One did, but doesn't look horrible. Have to wait and see more.

    Is that Luke saying that's it's time for the Jedi to end? If so, why would he be training Rey?

    More questions than answers, which is probably what its supposed to prompt.
