I definitely agree with you though, prequelsrule, about how it would’ve been nice to have seen Luke with a thriving (or at least some students) Jedi order.

I also agree, that if they jump ahead beyond the sequel trilogy, there will just be a Jedi order and it won’t matter who started it per se. I feel Luke will be seen as the founder of the New Jedi Order, and Rey will be seen as his successor who continued it after him.

There are some things that the new films did that I do think feel appropriate or inevitable. To me, the biggest thing that just feels right is Han being killed by his own son. It seems like people were genuinely mad about this, but it just feels right in the sense of these movies being a dramatic family soap opera in space.
