What if...?

That makes the story that they told better (but what wouldn't?), but Luke would never turn his back on a Padawan, nor his own nephew. So, maybe Ben goes into self imposed exile, perhaps after a disagreement with Luke as to what the future of the Jedi Order should be. He gathers up his friends at the Academy and the Knights of Ren are formed. First, as a force for good, but Snoke is able to influence Ben and the KOR return to the Academy to recruit or capture Luke for Snoke. The Academy is destroyed in the battle and Luke is left for dead in the rubble.

Now, was that so goddamn hard, Rian Johnson? Everything that was set up in TFA could have been fleshed out in TLJ.
