I’d rather them develop the idea that Rey was working on making the force more useful and becoming more powerful

So it sounds like Iger is back...
Bob Iger Thought He Was Leaving on Top. Now, He’s Fighting for Disney’s Life. The former C.E.O. thought he was riding into the sunset. Now he’s reasserting control and reimagining Disney as a company with fewer employees and more thermometers.

There's a good, IMO, fix for Luke by The Critical Drinker on YouTube. I liked his fix for 'Fat Thor' in Endgame and his video would have made a much better movie.
It's worth a look... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvAa2ALSunE |

Luke didn't need to be "fixed."
His character arc was perfect and other than Kylo, he was the best part of the sequel trilogy.

For that matter, Fat Thor was fine, too.

Yeah. Agree with Clay on both counts here.
You can’t have Luke be a “Yoda or Obi Wan” type in Ep. 8 who had a mastery of the force but let Han die. |

Luke could have easily retained all of his Jedi knowledge without actually being connected to The Force, just as the Guardians of the Whills knew of The Force without actually being Jedi. Now, what doesn't make sense is that there were Jedi running around the galaxy 20 years after Order 66 as well as Force Sensitives, yet Vader and The Emperor couldn't find them in The Force, nor did they know that Yoda and Obi Wan were still alive. Thinking too much about these movies just opens such gigantic plot holes that the entire series just seems inconsistent and just plain dumb. |

Something didn’t ever feel right with J.J.’s original script where Luke was levitating boulders and a mountainside when Rey approached him. It’s possible the right script could have explained why he continued being a Jedi legend despite abandoning the rebel cause and leaving Leia out to dry, but Rian’s explanation made more sense to me. TLJ’s overall execution was absolutely lacking, though. |

It also seems odd that Luke would be so close to locating Exogal, yet ultimately decided to shut himself off to The Force. Why then? Frustration? Also, why didn't any other Force Ghosts help him to find it, especially Anakin, with whom he was supposedly communicating with after Vader's death? You know, it's just all so lazy that it's almost not worth even discussing or questioning. |

Listening to you two makes me feel convinced that there was next to no communication between JJ and Rian throughout their processes.
Is it too much to hope for that the sequel trilogy gets retconned in a decade or so? |

We'll probably get a CGI movie about the exploits of Luke, Han and Leia post ROTJ in about 10 years, I'd imagine.
They already showed they're on the right path with the CGI versions of Luke and Leia in ROS. We'll get that trilogy, or maybe just one movie, and it will be "headcanon" Episode 7 for lots of fans.

I'm not sure if they can effectively retcon the ST but they do have the option to create a bunch of TV series and movies based on Han, Luke & Leia's exploits after RotJ, which could effectively deem the ST as non-essential.

If Disney ever gets around to making SW movies again, make a Darth Vader movie next. You wouldn't necessarily have to recast Christensen, but Anakin is the most interesting character in the entire franchise and it would make tons of money.
