{{Blockquote|Now that they're extinct, the Jedi are romanticized, deified. But if you strip away the myth and look at their deeds, the legacy of the Jedi is failure. Hypocrisy, hubris. [...] At the height of their powers, they allowed [[Palpatine|Darth Sidious]] to rise, create the Empire, and wipe them out.|Luke Skywalker|''[[Star Wars: The Last Jedi]]''}}

In ''[[Star Wars: The Force Awakens|The Force Awakens]]'', the first film in the sequel trilogy, Luke had attempted to rebuild the Jedi Order, but his nephew [[Kylo Ren|Ben Solo]] ([[Adam Driver]]) fell to the dark side, lured by the mysterious [[Supreme Leader Snoke|Snoke]] ([[Andy Serkis]]), and destroyed his temple and other apprentices. Ben is renamed Kylo Ren and destroys all that Luke built. After Kylo's fall and the destruction of the New Jedi Order, Luke goes into a self-imposed exile on [[List of Star Wars planets and moons|Ahch-To]], believing himself and the Jedi to negatively influence the galaxy.<ref>{{cite AV media|title=[[Star Wars: The Force Awakens]]|medium=DVD|publisher=[[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]]|date=2015}}</ref>

In the sequel ''[[Star Wars: The Last Jedi|The Last Jedi]]'', the scavenger [[Rey (Star Wars)|Rey]] ([[Daisy Ridley]]) discovers Luke on Ahch-To and convinces him to train her in the ways of the Force. During her training, Luke explains that the past Jedi allowed Darth Sidious to rise to power. She also discovers several ancient Jedi texts hidden away in a tree. Rey learns the truth about Ben's fall to the dark side and believes herself to be his only chance of redemption. Luke decides to stay on Ahch-To and attempts to burn down the tree with the texts, but cannot bring himself to do so. However, [[Yoda]] appears as a Force spirit and burns the tree, teaching him that failure is just as important as success, and those masters are defined by those who surpass them. Near the end of the film, Luke confronts Kylo on the planet [[Crait]]. It is subsequently revealed that Luke had been projecting himself from Ahch-To; he dies from the effort and becomes one with the Force. Rey is shown to have taken the sacred Jedi texts before she left Ahch-To, to continue her training.<ref>{{cite AV media|title=[[Star Wars: The Last Jedi]]|medium=DVD|publisher=[[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]]|date=2017}}</ref>

In ''[[Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker|The Rise of Skywalker]]'', the final film of the sequel trilogy, it is discovered that Darth Sidious created Snoke and has returned from death and has been secretly manipulating events from the Sith world [[Exegol]]. In his last attempt to reclaim the galaxy, Sidious unveils the Final Order, a massive fleet of ''Xyston''-class Star Destroyers built by the [[Sith#Sith Eternal|Sith Eternal]]. The Emperor offers the Sith fleet to Kylo Ren in exchange for killing the last remaining Jedi, Rey, who is revealed to be his granddaughter. After the death of Kylo's mother, [[Princess Leia|Leia Organa]] ([[Carrie Fisher]]), Kylo returns to the light and reclaims his identity as Ben Solo. At the end of the film, Ben joins Rey as she confronts Sidious. Rey channels the power of the past Jedi to destroy Sidious and the Sith—thus bringing balance back to the Force—before dying herself. Ben sacrifices his life to revive Rey and becomes one with the Force. With peace and justice restored to the galaxy, Rey lives on to start the Jedi Order again.<ref>{{cite AV media|title=[[Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker]]|medium=DVD|publisher=[[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]]|date=2019}}</ref>
