    He kinda is. The opening crawl even mentioned it. Furthermore who was responsible for the creation of Kylo Ren? ;D

    first of all, the opening crawl is the only place you see this information inferred (the FO was rising long before Luke went to Ahch-To). again: it's a false premise.
    Kylo Ren joined the FO, not the other way around. the FO was already building before Ben turned. it has its own goals and objectives that have nothing to do with Luke specifically, even if they acknowledge that he's a threat that needed to be dealt with.

    i'm not saying Luke has no importance, i'm saying the state of the galaxy is not solely on Luke's shoulders.
    Rax probably never even heard of the dude. nor Sloane, nor Brendol.
    and Luke was all but forgotten as far as the New Republic Senate was concerned.

    I imagine JJ & Co arguing about Lukes status before they released the script and JJ saying:
    "We are running out of time folks. Let's pass this "fan sensitive" theme to the next creator. Problem solved..". :)

    LOL @oldbert kind of like Peter Jackson sitting around with his team making "Return of the King"......

    PJ: "Hey, what was the name of that sword thingy that Aragorn had in the book....?"
    Phillippa Boyens: "It is Anduril.....reforged from the shards of Narsil...."
    PJ: "Oh crap. We forgot about it entirely didn't we..."
    Phillippa Boyens: "Yes, Aragorn should have gotten it like 2 movies ago..."
    PJ : "OK here's what we'll do.....we'll have hmmmmm lemmme see....how about Elrond...yeah Elrond....come to....hmmm...Dunharrow....yeah, there, and give the thingy to him then....."
