Star Wars: Episode VIII
Tova:
From the article (my emphasis):
--- Quote ---After months of speculation about Carrie's future in the sci-fi saga, Todd has revealed that Disney bosses want to bring Princess Leia back for Episode 9. And he said he and Carrie's daughter, Billie Lourd, have granted the studio rights to use recent footage for the finale. It is understood that CGI will not be used to recreate Leia.

(click to show/hide)"It's time for the Jedi to end"? - Interesting idea. Reminds me a bit of the dialogues around the decision to exile Luke made in "Outcast" of the Fate of the Jedi-cycle.
--- Quote --- “Nawara, I’m not sure we can change the way we operate within the Alliance, or should. We serve a higher cause. Life, calm, progress toward a fair and serene future. Self-interest and the kind of pragmatism that sacrifices innocent lives don’t motivate us the way they can the civilian and military authorities.”
Nawara offered him an unhappy smile. “History, as interpreted by non-Jedi, demonstrates that you’re wrong. In the records, Jedi often demonstrate these self-serving and destructive impulses. They just stop calling themselves Jedi. Like Jacen Solo did.”
“Ouch.”

Even the Sith descended from exiled Dark Jedi - so from a certain point of view (Ha!Ha!), all the destruction caused by any dark-side force user is tied to the Jedi. For sure, force-sensitives will still be born if the Jedi are gone - but the knowledge that the Jedi have about using the force would not be available to them. Dark siders would no longer have Jedi-training they could use as a "stepping stone" - they'd have to start from scratch again.
Or maybe Luke thinks that the fact that the Jedi continue to produce extremely powerful dark-side force users is indicative of there being a fundamental flaw in their whole approach? IIRC, there were some hints to that notion during Luke's and Ben's visits to different schools of Force-users in the Fate of the Jedi. Something like: By their exclusive fixation on the light side, the Jedi inadvertently produce the dark. Something like "the brightest light casts the deepest shadow" ...
EDIT: Looks like the Dog called it

It could also refer to the end of the Jedi philosophy.
If Anakin Skywalker destroyed the Sith, maybe his descendants are meant to destroy the Jedi and end the cycle of destruction and rebuilding that has plagued the galaxy. Kylo Ren isn't a Sith, he's something else. Maybe Rey and Finn are meant to become something other than Jedi as well. Luke's just mean to be the last one to pass on the foundation to them.

BenRG:
Yeah... I previously got the impression that the Sequel Trilogy arc would be like this:
(click to show/hide)The Sith have fallen and Luke has foreseen that the time has come for the Jedi to slide quietly into the night too. The question to be answered is whether the New Order of Force adepts to rise from the ashes of the last Jedi-Sith war will be Dark... Light...
Or something else entirely.
Kugai:
So,both the Sith and the Jedi have outlived their time and must fade into history
To be replaced
By what?
