The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Had a Lot of Problems
The sequel trilogy suffered story problems and character development and lacked the Star Wars magic we all have come to love and know. The Last Jedi (2017) is probably the most divisive film out of the three of them. Many fans felt that the portrayal of Luke Skywalker in the movie was a massive letdown for many. There were also scenes in the film that did not make sense to the story. The story also felt bland, causing many to believe that director Rian Johnson purposely butchered the movie to cause havoc for the next film.
But regardless of how you feel about the sequel trilogy, Disney and Lucasfilm are moving forward with new content that takes place after the events of those movies. Recently, Kathleen Kennedy commented on what the new Rey movie will focus on, and Luke Skywalker is involved.

Luke Will Be a Heavy Focus in the New Rey’ Star Wars’ Movie, According to Kathleen Kennedy
In a recent interview with GamesRadar+ about the next Star Wars film, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy referenced Rey’s significant promise to Luke Skywalker. Here’s what she said:
“I think what’s always great about Star Wars is it’s a big galaxy, and we’re coming off what was a major war with the First Order. And now, Rey has made a promise to Luke and that’s really the core of where we’re going and what this story will be.”
– Kathleen Kennedy, Lucasfilm President
Although Luke successfully built a Jedi Academy, his failure came after Ben Solo turned to the dark side following his influence from Supreme Leader Snoke, who was Emperor Palpatine this entire time. Luke’s dream and hopes of rebuilding the Jedi Order came crashing down, and he became an old hermit living on an island. Rey will keep her promise of rebuilding the Jedi Order to honor her former Master.
