I must confess that if we saw an older Luke standing in a certain spot watching that double sunset, I would get goosebumps. That could be the teaser shot right there.

Luke went back to Tatooine in the Marvel comic, and the scene where he returned to the ruins of the moisture farm was touching.

 I agree.  However, for me it would absolutely have to be a visit to a long-deserted, ruined homestead, decades later.  I never saw the last two films, but even the revisit in the fourth film killed the magic of the place.

No doubt, I'm intrigued by what Abrams can do.  That said, I'd really prefer a departure from the tiny story and universe Lucas couldn't seem to move away from.
