Is it really a bump in this thread without a new crawl rewrite? 😄
The Last Jedi establishes that Luke did have his own Jedi Academy. I think it is stronger for Luke’s character if it is clearly established that he did bring back the Jedi Order, but it was destroyed. If this was the case, I feel his story arc in The Last Jedi would have been responded to better: Luke did bring the Jedi Order back, it all went to shit, so he went into exile. Instead of it seeming like he only had a few students.
However, I could see people complaining how Order 66 part 2 was in a crawl instead of the movie itself.
“I guess it is time, for the Jedi Order to end.”
EPISODE VII
THE FORCE AWAKENS
It is a time of despair.
The legendary Jedi Order
has been slaughtered.
Luke Skywalker is missing.
Emboldened by the Jedi’s
absence, agents of the
evil FIRST ORDER have
risen from the shadows
of an Imperial fortress
to claim supremacy over
countless worlds beyond
the fragile New Republic.
Wary to condone any action
that could lead to war,
the Senate has secretly
commissioned the pilots
of a brave RESISTANCE
to find the last Jedi and
restore the light of hope
to the darkening stars…
