As a central character to the Star Wars lore of the past, Luke Skywalker had much to give as a character and a teacher to Rey. Her journey from a Rey nobody to a woman with force powers would've of been helped dramatically "if" Luke had been shown as the true character he'd been in the past. With age comes wisdom and great responsibility. But as always the opportunity to produce a REAL central story arc between both Rey and Luke was completely lost. Johnson had no intentions of actually supporting Luke's incredible past as a Jedi. You might as well of just ditched the Luke character entirely from these abysmal Disney films. There's no solid continuity at all. It's lacklustre and in many ways directionless. As I said before, and will say again keirarts, you need to understand that all stories MUST have a direction and solid continuity to be able to tell the story properly. Without such elements, Star Wars ends up looking like The Last Jedi. A complete and utter mess.
