1) I think people misjudge Luke's personality quite a bit in Eps IV-VI and VIII.  IV-VI Luke is incredibly naive.  Even in VI.  In The Return of the Jedi Anakin is still driven by the same thing that turned him to the Dark Side in the first place.  To control chaos, to control the galaxy against those things he perceives as injustice, by force if necessary.  Only with his son joining him would he be able to do what he wanted to accomplish, only with the imminent death of his son does he finally realize the folly, the futile nature of his goal, especially at that point.

That naivety carries Luke into his actions with his nephew.  He has the vision of his nephews corruption and thus makes his hesitant decision, only to realize that that decision itself is what fulfilled the vision in the first place.  A not uncommon theme.

I think is actions in VIII are fully within character. Nor do I see an issue with a map, pieced together from clues by people trying to find him on both sides.

2) Wracked with the guilt of his own failure he makes yet another naive decision that Jedi and their actions, his actions, will come to ruin.  He shuts himself away in a remote place.  VIII actually has a recurring theme that Luke incorrectly caries over from ep V.  He will only make things worse if he interferes.  In V he finds out about his father, he loses a hand, Han is trapped in carbonite, Leia is now slave to Jabba, etc.  Finally at the last he decides to intervene and face the decision he made against his Nephew.

3) I highly doubt Luke gets revived in any sense.  Force ghost sure, there is plenty of precedence for that.  There is also plenty of potential lore to account for some influence of Palpatine to rear its head in IX.

You could say that bringing the Emperor is a good idea to end the Skywalker saga, but I also take it like an acknowledgement that they completely dropped the ball with the mediocre "villains" in those two movies.

There were 99 other problems with the film imo, and I don't think anyone can confidently pinpoint any one particular reason for a course correction in IX.

I don't like how Rey got so strong before training, but that was honestly one of the smallest issues I had with the film.
And I'd wager the issue people feel more strongly about is how they handled Luke, given that his character has such a long legacy.
But in TLJ, Luke who would even see the good in Darth Vader,

Emphasis on 'first'.
That's just not his character. I didn't buy it.
And then there was the map to Skywalker. But

There were so many issues I had with that film, I'd have to write an essay to go through half of them.

And even if they revive

that doesn't necessarily mean J.J. Abrams disagrees with Rian Johnson's vission of Luke (although I would hope it does). It could also be because of something like Leia's actor dying, and they originally planned to have her play an important role at the end. But now they need a different character to fill that spot.

After the horrific travesty that was The Last Jedi, this will be the first Star Wars film released in my lifetime that I won't be seeing in cinemas. Disney has killed the franchise for me. It's become such a poorly thought out mishmash of cynical focus tested tackiness.

Im sorry i dont care about toxic masculinity and man who cant handle strong females. Get your self a confidence and open your mind. There is a life outside your Man Cave.  Anyway, i like the trailer, more a teaser.  Cant wait.

She's not a Mary Sue, looking at the clues of the films, IMO Rey is Anakin Skywalker 2.0.

I bet in Ep. 9 it will be revealed that her mother was a nobody ... but her actual birth father is literally a nobody. She is born of the Force, just like Anakin, there is no father for either of them, they are the only two pure children of the Force.

And in Buddhist style "Chosen Ones" like Anakin and Rey are linked like reincarnated Dalai Lamas, since Star Wars cribs heavily from Eastern religions.

That's why

1.) Anakin's Lightsaber calls out for her

2.) She has Force abilities well beyond what a novice should have. Particularly aptitude with piloting, mechanical stuff, and lightsaber fighting ... all things Anakin was good at. She has access to Anakin's abilities, in IX I suspect you will see her start to experience some of his memories too. 

3.) When Kylo tells her she "comes from nothing" in The Last Jedi ... he's literally telling is the truth, lol. There's no father, she's born from literally nothing but the Force.  

It all fits and basically closes every mystery box. "Rise of the Skywalker" means the Skywalker bloodline lives through her, since Skywalker bloodline originates from the Force directly and not from a person. Luke, Leia, and Kylo have it by biological birth, but Anakin and Rey are special as they have it directly from the Force.
