The force is something that isn't necessarily hereditary correct? So people will continue to be born with the ability to touch it. Over time with so many different variables such as upbringing, morals, location, environment etc.. there will be a multitude of different 'force users' and not all will be good. Isn't history just doomed to repeat itself if there isn't someone there to guide it that has learned from the mistakes?
If I was Rey I would be reforming a Jedi Council, and then making 3 movies intensely talking about the interworkings of all the politics.

When you have a galaxy of trillions and you have 10,000 jedi and 2 Sith running around. You create a entitled elitist class with all of the power.
The Sith never made it a secret that the strong should rule and the weak should serve, that was the natural order of things. The Sith also believed that those with the Force should rule to protect all of the ordinary beings from lawlessness and chaos.
The Jedi pretended not to be interested in power. But lets look at their past and even present. They were a rich and entitled monastic group that influenced and supported corrupt government all in the way of right minded thinking. They eagerly signed up in the clone wars not as soldiers but as Generals and Commanders. Not because of a threat to ordinary people, but because of a threat to the republic government which allowed slavery and exploitation of the outer ring. Also for the corporate alliances and banking clans to run the government.
Obi-Wan never said that his allegiance was to the Force, but it was an allegiance to the Republic and Democracy. But clearly democracy didn't exist and either the Jedi were ignorant or ignored it.
There really dosen't need to be a jedi council or Jedi organization. Snoke said it best "The Darkness rises and the Light with it". The combative nature of the force would mean that Ray would found a council and begin training Jedi and the Dark Side of the Force would rise against it. Then the Jedi would go to war to support their stiff dogma.
Ideally Rey should be the dark and the light. Be willing to break the rules of the Jedi but pull herself back from the edge of total darkness. Not aspire to power, but to justice and equality.
