SPECULATION The Secret To Luke's Map?

The "line up" of your infos and suggestions triggerd me to start thinking about where this whole thing could lead the ongoing story in EPVIII and EPIX... Was Luke searching for a kind of " Jedi Atlantis" were he thinks to find a lost " Jedi Civilization?.. Will it turn out that he was successful and he found a refuge where a special group of Jedi survived?
Fact is, you bring up a lot of start scenarios for speculating

 

Ever get the bad feeling we'll be going back to Jakku at some point?

So we can assume the major players all started out on par in the find the First Jedi temple quest with the partially complete map from the old Empire's archives? Then Luke obviously figured out the rest of it and went to the Temple. And either LST somehow got the information from Luke, or figured it out on his own.
So how long did LST sit on this information, or did he just figure it out on Jakku not long before Poe arrived? Why would he sit on that info... With the high regard he holds for Leia, I just don't get it. Wouldn't you have to assume he'd only just figured it out? So the key to the last bit of the map has to lie at Jakku, maybe?

So Jakku, site of the last great battle with the Empire, had an Empire Secret Research station, has a COTF presence, was the place where Rey was left and LST ended up. How could we tie all that in together?

 

Yes, I have been musing upon such things for a while now, for all the good it's doing me. Refer below posts from other threads:

I still think there's more to the story in tems of what was going on at the Empire's Secret Research Facilty, and the Church of the Force and how that may intertwine. I only have the wildest of speculations yet, but I bet it had to do with the Force and cheating death/imortality.

 

It would seem that all roads lead to Anakin's saber. The galaxy has been playing Pink Panther with it. I can almost see Clouseau following the carnage.

Seriously though, I have a feeling that we'll see the various story threads revealed through the saber in the next film.

 

Cool thoughts. Reminds me of the elder wand in deathly hallows. A powerful medium that channels the force vision depending on the character of force sensitiv being that touches the saber. It is for itself not good or evil but just a powerful catalytic "force converter". The selfish one is attracted by the pure power he could posses by using it, the selfless hero could defend himself and others.

 

Well-said! To expand on this, I think a big reason why Rey and Kylo are on such different yet parallel paths is how they interpreted the visions they had. All of the films so far have dealt with how the Force speaks to individuals and The Clone Wars went into detail about that as well. Yoda often said that the future is uncertain and any visions of the future were not necessarily destined to come true. Palpatine also seemed to have a firm grasp on gazing into the future. What set Anakin and Luke apart from both the Jedi and the Sith is how they acted upon visions they received. They both received strong premonitions of suffering and death and they both reacted in an emotional way to those visions. Rey reacted the same way, but instead of receiving a vision of the future she has received a vision of the past and instead of reacting by throwing herself headlong into conflict she initially tried to distance herself from the situation. It's a scary thing, seeing a vision of that nature but being unable to parse it, to understand what's going on.
