I think he learned that lying is a great way to conceal spoilers.
And why not?

Also if Luke wasn’t he father, doesn’t that kind of render the reprisal of his “the force is strong in my family” monologue in the second trailer utterly meaningless?

No because Kylo Ren is of the Skywalker lineage. Also unless he says those exact words in one of the sequels the monologue means shitall.

It’s either complete farce or the dialogue was explicitly re edited to make it sound like Luke was taking to a direct descendant. In the original scene, having the force is a revelation to Leia, and Rey going through the same exact thing in this movie, I don’t know why we’d be expected to think otherwise about the meaning of those words. They’ve dropped more than what can be only described as hints that Luke’s the father, and if they back out now just to be less predictable, not only does the narrative for our main character make a hell of a lot less sense, but it also completely nullifies JJ’s entire ‘mystery box’ concept in terms of slowly letting the answers to these questions unwind over the course of the trilogy. I just hope Reys father isn’t a sentient, ancient puff of smoke in the end.
