7) “The Balance”
The third thing that Rey apparently “sees” is “the balance” – obviously the slippery balance in the Force that the Jedi have been seeking ever since the prequels. Will Rey finally do what Anakin was originally destined to do and balance out good and evil?
On top of this, we see some intriguing shots. First, a fortuitous beam of light shines down on a bookshelf of what we imagine are Luke’s few remaining sacred Jedi texts. We then see Rey open one of the books and study a version of the Jedi symbol. The eagle-eyed among you may recognize this as the same image as that on The Last Jedi poster, in which it’s formed by Rey’s lightsaber bursting with light.
We might be wrong, but we can guess that this book is the Journal of the Whills, a Jedi bible that dates back to George Lucas’ earliest drafts of Star Wars. It was brought into canon when it was mentioned in The Force Awakens novelization, which suggests that it’ll be featured here.
After this, Luke can be heard saying “it’s so much bigger.” This is intriguing, as it suggests we’ll delve deeper into what exactly the Force is. It seems likely that it’ll be revealed as something much bigger than the Jedi and the Sith. Like the voices in the background in the previous clip, with this scene you can just about hear Yoda, as well as the sound of a lightsaber igniting.
