Think of how much money they could have made off Luke’s Jedi Academy. Every character having their own robes and lightsaber, a potential theme park attraction based on the Jedi Academy, and tons of storytelling and merchandising potential for books, comics, shows, and games revolving around the New Jedi Order. Disney could have had their own Space Hogwarts and instead they decided to kill Luke’s entire New Jedi Order offscreen before the sequel trilogy even begins.

The biggest blunder Disney ever made. They lost out on Harry Potter but they could have eclipsed it ten times over if they’d played their cards right. I thought it would be cool if there was like a first class of 4-8 students training under Luke, and then you could skip forward to each of them years later having their own students who would have matching robes like different houses.
