I wonder what the delay is.

How much time theoretically passes between Yavin IV and Hoth?
3 years (real and movie years)

Did you not watch the OT as a kid? Do you not see the love between him and Chewie? The conflicted pain from Ren? How does Han's death have no weight?
I probably watched the OT as a kid just as much or more than anyone else here. Those movies WERE my childhood. But that doesn't excuse crappy filmmaking in this entry.

Ultiamteily i thin we will see Luke serve the story the same way Obi Wan did.

Although, I would like to see Luke redeem himself in training Rey fully. Why did luke give up so quickly after "failing" training Ren. I am super interested in that storyline.

I thought Han said Luke was training students and Kylo was among them but the. Went dark and killed them all but wpprently he doesn't say that, he implies it

My wife thought he was dead at the end. They certainly left it ambiguous. No way they pull a Darth Maul on us!

Don't worry, Ren won't die until the end of 9. And it will be at Rey's hands.
