I wonder if that's because "The Fans Have Spoken" and that's what "they" want.
I know I'm getting ahead of myself with regards to being disappointed with this movie... I'm not wild about the tone of the trailer being "See, we fixed stuff from TLJ!" It would have been better for them to build off of what was done and make that significant. Luke's Lightsaber is shattered- so is the legacy of the Jedi, and the force. Don't rebuild it, make it a significant metaphor that This generation has to find it's own way forward, maybe becoming force users that are not bound by light and darkness.
Kylo's helmet being destroyed could show Ben Skywalker finally showing his evil openly as Ben Skywalker... out to become master of the universe, not hiding behind a mask or the past ambitions of trying to be the reincarnation of Darth vader. How evil can he be without anything holding him back? Nope! The mask gets re-forged, and on top of it probably Palpatine is behind this problem too.
I wanted to hope for a third installment that was unique to the prequels. Based on what we got in the trailer though... I've got a bad feeling about this.
