In Lucas' original script, Obi-wan lived, but did nothing but stand around for the last act of the movie. So to give Luke more of a push, he killed off Obi-wan on the Death Star. (when it was going to be just one movie)
When it came time to make The Empire Strikes Back, suddenly there were all these training scenes that were for Obi-wan, but he was dead. So Lucas has to make up a new Jedi Master, which we got Yoda in a brilliant risk of believing a puppet can work.
Shave.
What will Luke Skywalker do in the next movies?
And the question needs answering. Is Luke Skywalker Rey's father. And if so, who is her mother?

I know most of the iterations to the Star Wars script so I'm curious where this comes from. I'm not doubting you! Genuinely very curious.
Which, as we know, would not preclude him from appearing in Episode IX.I will not be too surprised if Luke dies in the next movie.

That reminds me of the same juxtaposition that happens with Ged in Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea trilogy. The first novel shows his training as a young wizard, we barely see him in the second, and when he's the main character again in the third, he's an old, seasoned wizard.It is rather odd to think of Luke as some old mystical Jedi Master considering the last time we saw him he was in his early 20s and young new Jedi Knight.

Nothing against Han, but to me Luke is just way too important a character to kill off in a second movie. As the main hero of the OT who we watched grow and develop into a Jedi over the course of three movies, he deserves a lot more than to be treated as just another Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon mentor figure who's there just to provide a bit of wisdom and training to some newer characters.
The sequel trilogy may not be "his story" exactly, but I think he still needs to be there and play a big role in it until the very end.
If Luke couldn't stop Snoke before I don't see how he can stop him now. It's up to Finn, Rey and Poe to be the heroes in this trilogy and they seem to be up to the challenge. They certainly didn't need Luke to take out the Starkiller base.

Do we know that Luke tried to defeat Snoke at some point in the past? It's possible that Luke isn't even aware of Snoke.
