The last 30 seconds of The Force Awakens were a bit of a cliffhanger in and of themselves. After Rey climbs the mountain through the ruins of the first Jedi temple, she reaches a hooded figure that needed no introduction. Luke Skywalker turns to look at her, then to his long lost lightsaber, and just when you think you'll finally hear the first words out of the legendary Jedi's mouth in 30 years….credits.
It was a bit of a ball buster, but the right move for the film. And now, halfway through our wait for the next entry, we can still only dream how Luke Skywalker will sound and what he might say. After all, both Han and Leia sounded quite different from the last time we saw them at the end of Return of the Jedi, so who knows what time has done to Luke's vocal cords. But as for the "what," it appears that we have at least one answer.
Some minor spoilers may follow…….
Spoiler Line:
————————————————————————————————————————————————-
YouTuber Mike Zeroh posted a new video to his channel two days ago in which he details some information he received via four individual sources. While he did admit that two of the sources he wasn't sure about, he did confirm that he trusted two of them. The information in question is a line that Luke Skywalker is due to have in Star Wars Episode 8 and potentially might be the opener for a trailer due sometime in the first quarter of 2017.
The line is, "you contain the spark that will rekindle the fire."
Zeroh dives into depth about the meaning behind the line, but if you've seen the film, you don't need anyone to tell you what it means. Luke Skywalker's failed attempt at restarting the Jedi Order has left The Force in a state of flux, and he believes that he can't bring the Jedi back on his own. Surely after Kylo Ren killed all of his pupils, Skywalker's faith in himself and the future of the Jedi is at an all-time low, and the films have clearly set up the fact that Rey is the primary focus of everything going forward.
Star Wars: Episode 8 releases on December 15th, 2016.
