I don’t know if we’ll get a time jump but I’m really hoping for one. I’m not wild about the fact that we’re two deep in the ST and we’ve only moved through about a week of story time. I get that Ahch-To has some kind of weird Force time dilation going on like Dagobah and Mortis from TCW, but the entire Resistance plot seems to take place the day after TFA.
I concur. I think having spent a month (tops) since TFA, a high year gap will be welcomed for the final chapter. I think it would serve the story greatly as well. The last thing I want for EP 9 is for Luke to do Yoda-like training for Rey like a week after TLJ. And watching Kylo try to be the big Bad.
I want this to be in the past for them when we come EP 9 - I want to see them having outgrown some of their fears, as well as buried others. Strong versions of themselves, before the movie itself tear them down for the final encounter.
