Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer - 13 Easter Eggs & Secrets You Probably Missed

1. Gray Jedi

"First comes the day/Then comes the night./After the darkness/Shines through the light./The difference, they say/Is only made right/By the resolving of gray/Through refined Jedi sight." - Journal of the Whills, 7:477

That verse seems to be very significant to most of this trailer. The themes of darkness and light are explicitly stated by what Rey sees, but it's more the connection to Luke's final words - "It's time for the Jedi to end" - that really matters.

One possibility is that we're seeing Luke become what's known as a 'Gray Jedi', which is a Legends-term given to a Force-user who walks the line between Light and Dark, although another meaning is a Jedi who has distanced themselves from the Order and High Council. The notion largely existed back in the days of the Knights of the Old Republic (around 4000 BBY), but it has sort of been brought back into canon - albeit not in name.

We've seen Ahsoka Tano take to using white lightsabers and existing outside the Jedi Order in Rebels, while that show has also introduced Bendu, a Force-sensitive creature who isn't Light nor Dark but "the one in the middle."

Based on Luke's words, then, as well as the idea of balance that plays across the trailer and in the poster (which sees a blending of Dark and Light), we could be looking at a Luke who wants to do away with the typical Jedi/Sith division. He went to the First Jedi Temple looking for answers after he failed to build a new Jedi Order, after all, and this may be the answer that he has found, thus turning maybe himself and certainly Rey into more balanced Force-users who transcend the typical notions. In other words, making the difference right.
