The only way to fix it, director and cowriter J.J. When Disney needed a new trilogy, the galaxy went back to being broken.
The balance brought to the Force when Luke coaxed Anakin Skywalker back to the light and Anakin literally overthrew Emperor Palpatine? Yeah, that lasted only as long as the real-life gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. With that exchange, The Force Awakens both brought the audience up to date and laid out a mission statement for the new trilogy. “Without the Jedi, there can be no balance in the Force.” “I have traveled too far and seen too much to ignore the despair in the galaxy,” San Tekka tells Poe. San Tekka belongs to the Church of the Force, an affiliation of non-Jedi who nonetheless worship the Force and strive to restore the Jedi order.
In the first scene of Disney’s Skywalker saga-concluding trilogy, Resistance pilot Poe Dameron meets Lor San Tekka, an explorer who gives him a fragment of a map that may lead to Luke Skywalker.
