Star Wars 8 The Last Jedi: NEW LOOK at Luke Skywalker – Is THAT the Journal of the Whills?
The Journal of the Whills is a journal recording events across the galaxy and it references the Jedi.
The novelisation of Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens with a quotation from the book.
It reads: “First comes the day, then comes the night. After the darkness, shines through the light. The difference, they say, is only made right by the resolving of grey through refined Jedi sight.”
The poem seems to allude to an in-between – “the resolving of grey” – suggesting Luke could be the Grey Jedi.

Is the Journal of the Whills on that book shelf?
This would certainly tie in with him appearing on both the Light and Dark Side IMAX posters for The Last Jedi.
