Luke's all they have, now, and even finding a way to set that part right and fix the story is going to take some serious tinkering. If they can do that, ditch the Pippi Skywalker and Emo Vader bullshit, and get better male leads with more interesting characters, they might still be able to right the ship.
I just have no faith in them doing that. VII showed that they don't really have many new ideas beyond the insertion of more radical politics, and VIII seems to have shown (from what I've heard here and read elsewhere) that the few ideas they do have are really shitty.

Imagine if Snoke had not died and Luke allowed himself to be captured? Just think of the interest in Episode IX (will Luke go to the Dark Side? Confront Snoke?)
Imagine if Snoke had sent himself into Kylo's body (a la Dark Empire)? Kylo just isn't malevolent enough for me.
Imagine if Holdo hadn't existed and Leia had gone out by ramming her ship against Snoke's ship?
Imagine if Poe was left in charge after Leia was injured and had to come up with a plan?
Imagine if the reason Snoke didn't finish off the Resistance was on purpose to draw in the other resistance supporters from around the galaxy (as was hinted at somewhere).
Imagine less jokes (I was half expecting another fart joke before the end credits).
Imagine if Rey actually learned something on the island with Luke.
