I would buy into almost any mysterious reason through the force to give Luke another shot. I think back to Lord of the Rings and Gandalf's return.
Citing the script from the film and not the more complex extended form books:
GANDALF: Darkness took me. And I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and everyday was as long as a life-age of the earth. But it was not the end. I felt life in me again.
[Camera zooms out from Gandalf’s eye, lying naked and very still. His hair has turned white and wounds are completely healed. He suddenly shudders with a deep gasp and pants as life returns to him]
GANDALF: I've been sent back until my task is done.
Perhaps because of Luke's wisdom of the force and knowledge beyond the other Jedi in that the force doesn't just belong to the Jedi, but in fact, to everyone, and his sacrifice that cost him his life, the force wills him back, making him more powerful than ever imagined. Even moreso than Obi-Wan or Yoda.
That way, you have Luke back in his more pure form of balance and discipline that he had "in his prime", but with the wisdom he gained through time before his death.
If he then finally passed on after Episode 9 then fine, but my god give him the send-off he deserves with the integrity of his character intact.
Interesting concept . One I’d fully support if it was ‘ handled ‘ correctly ..., wondering if anyone at LFL / Disney or JJ himself has someone visiting these forums for possible ideas that’ll go along way to rectifying the derisive treatment by RJ of this beloved character !?
