    My turn

    Luke: I've running from my destiny, it's time to face it & finish this once & for all, by the force I must.

    I think he was abandoned there by a family member long ago and never expected to see his child alive again, because the last thing his nephew said to him before he left was that she was dead, and that his own actions caused it.

    So maybe "hey shouldn't there be a sparkly blue glow or somethin'?"

    Wow, people really think they're related. I think at best you can hope for is that he's unaware that he had a daughter.

    I had hoped this moment would never come, that my daughter could live out her life free from this burden.

    Yet, I am elated to see her again. She's grown up to be so beautiful. She looks like her mother. I wish she could be here with us.

    It is the Will of the Force, and I was foolish to think I could protect her from this.

    Depends whether it was Luke who made the map so he could be found or not.

    If he made the map to be found 'at the right time/by the right person' it could be a look of a Luke finally seeing another human for a decade+ and knowing that he has to try and mentor again even though he's heavily burdened by his first failure.

    If someone else created the map and he never intended to be found again I think the scene looks even more profound, Rey holding out the lightsaber is like asking him to come back and help eventhough the look in his eyes says he gave up long ago.
    I've got a feeling that at the start of EP8 Luke might be a reluctant teacher and Rey might have to coax it out of him.

    ...Or he could recognize his daughter, but I think that's a bit too obvious.

    Eitherway it's a brilliant ending

    Damn, y'all are 110% sure she's Luke's daughter...

    Anyway.

    The script says there was "kindness" or "affection" or "fondness" in his eyes (can't remember the exact word). SO I think he did recognize her.

    lol that ending has become the star wars version of mona lisa's enigmatic smile.

    i've watched it umpteen times and i don't have a scooby as to what Luke's emotions are. it's a really powerful scene for sure and i love it, but i couldn't tell ya if he's happy or has bad constipation if i'm being honest.

    Other than the infamous/stupid "my baby girl" thing?? Hahaa

    I felt it was - Rey: "this is yours and we desperately need you! Stand and fight!" Luke: "I am conflicted, the results of my actions I do not know, but I am needed and I must go."

    "I hope she also brought my spine"?

    "I hope she brought a better director and writer for the next one"?

    "Wow she kicked ben's a$$, wonder why I bailed"?

    "I hope she doesn't think I have Hans child support money"?

    "I guess r2 regained the will to live"?

    "I hope she didn't bring my dead beat brother in law"?

    "Really?? My own sister couldn't make the trip??"

    "I should have left TWO pieces of the map behind"

    "I hope she doesn't ask why she also couldn't have been left on this gorgeous planet rather than that jakku dump"

    "Hope she doesn't give too much thought to my disappearance, or she will lose respect for her hero"

    Possibilities are endless...

    I actually read a few weeks back that this was elaborated on in the script. As there's usually added lines in between to describe the characters emotions etc. In the script it said that Rey raises the lightsaber to Luke was a Plea... A call for help. It then said that Luke looked back at her both amazed and conflicted. I actually dont have the source for this information because it was a few weeks back when I read it.
    I took the plea for help as a call for Luke to either aid Rey in her training to become a jedi and/or join the fight against the first order. The look of amazement could obviously be a number of things depending on your thoughts on Rey's heritage etc, and I think the conflict is pretty self explanatory given what's happend prior to TFA but take from that what you will.

    I'll go with "How does my daughter have my lightsaber" and the next film will start off with

    Luke: How did you get my lightsaber, my baby girl
    Rey: Maz said it was a story for another time. I haven't yet bought the related tie-in fiction, so I don't know the answer.
    Luke: Order a copy of "maz and the lightsaber" at your nearest comic dealer and pick up the the c-3po comic so I can finally figure out why he has a red arm. When I asked him the just said "wouldn't you like to hear the tale of how I got my red arm? Make sure to order a copy of the 3po one shot".
