fair enough i just also think RLM by themselves are the interesting thing about this, even if they've been the lightning rod for my thoughts in this area.

er AREN'T the interesting thing about this
The scene when Kylo Ren is interrogating Rey is the turning point where she starts actively using the Force as opposed to being very sensitive to and experiencing visions as a result, isn't it? My theory is that her Force sensitivity allowed her to sense what KR was doing when he was attempting to read her mind, allowing her to mimic some of his skills. It seems like a similar thing happens during the fight in the woods, where initially she is overmatched but grows in proficiency as the fight goes on and she watches/absorbs more of KR's technique.

And then Luke spends this new movie going "Yes but."

imo if everyone force sensitive just stayed at home and talked to flowers or w/e we'd have fewer issues. that's what Luke is on about with this island thing

Getting this image of Luke just wandering the island with an acoustic guitar, singing to the birds.

maybe talking to Ben and Yoda, hanging out with birds, etc

my other high concept idea was that the trailer is being literal -- seeing the light and the dark is very jedi/sith-centric and it's a really reductive view of the force. just like the republic (and the core/outer rim worlds and other known sectors) is a really reductive view of the universe -- there are other beings beyond the outer rim and horizons should be broadened

This was ostensibly the card game that Han originally won the Falcon at. Who knows how they'll pervert or transmute this happening for the new one.
