Here's my idea. It gives Luke, Leia, and Han more screentime. None of that "Passing-the-Torch" crap.
After ROTJ, due to the losses from Endor like the Emperor, Vader, Death Star, Super Star Destroyer, and admirals and ships, the Empire goes through a civil war of its own. Because Palpatine designed the Empire to be dependent on him for leadership and legitimacy and designed the Empire to be full of "survival of the fittest", both to produce useful assets and keep them too busy to overthrow him. Many Imperials defect to the New Republic. Many Moffs, Adrmirals, and Imperial governors become rogue warlords and fight each other for who gets to rule the Empire as much as fight the Rebels. Meanwhile, the Rebels liberate Coruscant and declare themselves the New Republic, and they also participate in the Imperial Civil War, taking in defectors and trying to steer the civil war in their favor. Eventually within a year or two, an expy of Gilad Pallaeon emerges as the "winner" of the Imperial Civil War and establishes a peace with the New Republic, and moves the Imperial Remnant to the Outer Rim or Unknown Regions or something like that.
Mon Mothma becomes Supreme Chancellor and rules well and wisely. The New Republic does not go the way of TFA as corrupt and weak. Leia establishes a New Alderaan and becomes a Senator. I'm not sure if I want her to become Chancellor in the next two movies. Han becomes a semi-retired military officer who will probably get reinstated at some point. Basically, Leia = the politician, Han = the military leader, Luke = the Jedi.
Luke goes on to rebuild and reform the Jedi Order successfully. Personally I have him take everything of value from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and move the headquarters to somewhere else. Maybe a space station or New Alderaan or Chandrila or Ossus. Because he feels that the old order was too close to the politics and bureaucracy and corruption of the Republic and Senate, and at the same time, too far away from the common people and too cloistered in temples meditating all day until they get called upon. And enclaves like KOTOR Dantooine get established and spread around the galaxy. One way or another, he gets the support he needs for the Jedi to be independent and reliable. His new type of Jedi are more down-to-earth: they wear normal clothes and are farmers, pilots, doctors, engineers and soldiers who simply happen to be Jedi.
During the 30+ years after ROTJ, the Republic and Jedi are strong and the Imperial Remnant is also there.There is no second Jedi purging by Kylo Ren, no Death Star 3.0, and no First Order that can't decide if its The Empire or a warlord splinter faction going against the wishes of the True Empire. And no Finn or Poe because I can't decide what the hell to do with them because they have no real point.
I am gonna take some inspiration from Star Wars Legacy and Darth Krayt and the One Sith here.
The Imperial Remnant re-consolidates itself as the Imperial Empire and its been ruled by a Moff Council and a Supreme Sovereign, since the title Emperor died with Palpatine. But somewhere along the decades, the Sith returned and took secret manipulation and control of the Empire. These Sith are kinda inspired and descended from the Dark Side Adepts who had served Palpatine in secret as operatives, not apprentices like Vader. Together, they bided their time. Personally I want their leader(s) to involve a Kreia expy or a Nihilus or a Scion. Or hell, maybe Palpatine came back. I haven't really decided.
Meanwhile, Luke had a daughter with a Mara Jade Expy who probably died years ago, or maybe she's still alive. That daughter is Rey. No secret. No JJ Abrams Mystery behind her. She will be taking some inspiration from Echani Jedi Raskta Lsu. You see, she is Force-Sensitive and she excels at lightsaber combat and all its forms, including saber types. But for some reason she is impotent when it comes to applying the Force. She cannot shield herself from Force mental attacks or somatic attacks like a Force Push. She cannot manipulate objects like floating rocks or Force Push. For all her combat skills, a Sith assassin could mask his/her presence and stab her in the back just like Raskta Lsu. Rey feels pressured because she knows she is weak when it comes to the Force, that she is the daughter of Luke Skywalker in front of her peers. This gnaws at her ego and she trains hard in melee to compensate. But eventually in future movie, she will succeed at grabbing the Force in a moment of despair and desperation (like trying to stop a killing blow on her dad), but it will be through the Dark Side.....picture Force Chokes and Lightning and red eyes.
Kylo Ren.....I will turn him into simply Ben Solo. I don't plan for him to become Kylo. He becomes a student of Luke and does well in the Force and lightsabers. Rey is envious of her cousin for his Force talent. I don't know if that envy will lead to something. But for the time being the two of them play rather well together, each of them compensating for the other's weakness. Rey's lightsaber skill and Ben's skillful use of the Force like a Consular, which includes Battle Meditation.
Now that I've set up the background, here's the idea for the story. Leia and Han visit Luke and their son and niece. Leia as Senator wants to appeal to him and the Jedi to.....do something because she senses the Republic is kinda vulnerable and the Empire is up to something. Luke is apprehensive because he wants the Jedi to not be mired in galactic politics and corruption. That he moved the New Jedi Order away from Coruscant to begin anew. And fears that a war will affect the Jedi negatively. Leia than brings up the Sith may have returned and be behind the Empire being up to something. Luke is more receptive now. Rey and Ben will eventually be involved in this war and the Dark Side will tempt them. Maybe Rey will go to the Dark Side to become better than her damn cousin. Maybe Ben will go through a BSOD from the revelation of his grandpa.
And finally there will actually be a superweapon, but not the Death Star 3.0. It will be the Star Forge. Yes I know I'm ripping off KOTOR and its not terribly impressive since its basically a factory, but this will provide a reason for a war and a revitalized Empire that can threaten the galaxy, I think. The Sith discovered it in the Unknown Regions and use it for their new Empire.
