"The Force Awakens" ends with Rey finding Luke on a remote island, which is exactly where "Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi" picks up. In this film, we learn that Luke isn't helping the Resistance because he's in self-imposed exile: he blames himself for Kylo turning to the dark side. When Rey asks Luke to come out of hiding to help the Resistance, he agrees to give her some lessons on the Force so he can convince her why the Jedi need to end. Rey begins communicating with Kylo using the Force and senses his internal struggle, and she leaves the island, hoping to get him to return to the light. While she isn't successful, it teases Kylo's fate in the final film in the sequel trilogy.
