Need to do something cool have a Jedi pull a Star Destroyer out of the sky.
So what's the solution, bring a force god in that over powers the mega powerful Luke and Skywalker family. And they did a decent job with Abeloth as a credible threat. She could walk between realities. The EU had their own world between worlds with the world beyond shadows. You could have Abeloth take shapes of other people and multiple people at the same time. Have her consume Force users. these were all there and they created a uber being that Luke couldn't defeat on his own.
I fully expect that if they do bring in Abeloth the logical thing would be that Baylan awakens her, and at some point she possesses Shin who becomes the big bad of the season. And this is speculations, but Ahsoka eventually becomes the sister figure Shin becomes the brother figure and Anakin becomes the father figure and the force gets balanced.

All of this
sucks. Every word of it. None of it sounds remotely watchable and it all sounds like it would make a terrible concept for either a TV show or a movie series. They need to stop with this. Make shows about people in this setting, who they are and how they live and interact, and
not God-like heroes and villains and unfathomable, ultimate, galactic threats.
