Jek Porgins??
He didn't even know he had a son until Palpatine told him.
There was this back story (now consigned to dust):
https://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Groggin
But that doesn't explain how Maz got the lightsaber from Vader....
True, but, Luke was already a good pilot, even if he never flew a warship. Rey had never even been in a combat situation once in her life. Both tapped into the Force to do what they did, but at least Luke had flown things before.
Honestly the more I think of it Anakin showing up in some fashion to tell Kylo/Ben that what he's doing is wrong would be kind of cool. Plus weren't there rumors of Hayden doing something for this film at one point? Maybe it is something along those lines. I just truly hope that they don't turn Luke to the Dark Side. It would honestly piss me off if they were to do that.Truthfully, I have no idea what they have planned for the ST; nor does anyone else.
I just hope Luke doesn't go dark, and it'd be cool to see Anakin's FG haunt Kylo or visit Luke. Oh, and hopefully the film answers the burning question that's on everyone's mind: how did Maz end up with Anakin's/Luke's saber?

I am getting so sick and tired of people acting like Rey was sitting lazily on her a$$ for all those year in Jakku.

I just watched the video and it is literally just Kylo's TFA costume. It must have been a mistake in labelling.I think it would be cool to see Anakin as well. Either in the capacity of trying to guide Kylo, as both you and I mentioned, or visiting Luke for whatever reason. There are indeed apparently rumors that Hayden was seen going into a studio and also recently on Amazon as far as TLJ merchandise, there was an item for a youth Episode VIII Anakin Skywalker costume that was summarily taken down. As was also mentioned somewhere earlier on here, Hayden attended Celebration this year for the first time in apparently years, so I'm not sure if that's simply a mere coincidence or for a reason.

Lol did we watch the same movie? Rey hasn't been in any combat situation in her life? She had to survive on Jakku for at least 14 years as far as we know. She learned to build a speeder, pilot it, salvaged **** for a living so obviously knew about mechanics and ships, etc... she's seen more combat than Luke did before leaving. It's also established in books that she used flight simulators all the time.
"But that's not the same as a ship" Neither is Luke flying a T-16.
Luke had not been in an actual combat situation in flight either before the Death Star. Which he somehow miraculously survives and blows it up with the force after no more of a pep talk than Rey had.
In terms of the other non-space combat in the film? What's more believable - that Luke who never picked up a blaster rifle before starts shooting Stormtroopers left and right endlessly all movie, or Rey who has had to fend for herself for 14 years with a staff was able to use a lightsaber, holding it like a staff, to beat someone that had a gaping hole in their gut (after she lost like 80% of the fight and was running away)?
You ST hating people trying to justify everything Luke and Anakin do while complaining about Rey are hilarious.
Have to say these are all valid points. There seems to be a group ready to hate on the Sequel Trilogy or really anything not Original Trilogy at any opportunity. Rey and Luke don't seem all that different in terms of the prior experience they had before becoming heroes in their respective first films and like you mention Rey probably actually had more combat experience to be able to weild a lightsaber.Lol did we watch the same movie?

Ok, stop. Rey might have been able to handle herself in a "street fight" but she should have been torn to shreds by someone (Kylo) who had grown up around Luke and then was trained by him along with whatever he picked up from Snoke. She had never handled a light saber. Go have a sword fight with someone who has had formal training for years and see how you do. It's either crap plotting or she was being "possessed" by The Force. Not just guided but flat out controlled.
Kylo isn't as strong as he thinks he is. He's still weak minded and not fully trained as a Jedi and still needs to be trained by Snoke. It isn't like Rey completely owned their duel either but she put up a strong fight which in my opinion is believable enough given where both characters are currently at.Ok, stop.

I believe that Luke's use of the Force to nudge a missile into a little hole is more believable than Rey's use where she is able to fight for an extended length and whoop ass at the end.
Luke's use is a quick instance -- tapping into his 'best judgment' when to fire. It's not like the Force rode that missile for him.
But Rey, well she just tapped right into that ****er full Force and used up a lot of mojo kicking ass.
