So I've heard some interesting storyline rumors over the past day or so
Spoiler!
The story does take place 30 years after the death of Palpatine
The Rebellion never established a new republic, the war with the empire continues
The primary enemy is a group of three Jedi Hunters, they have been trained in the Dark Side and use Light Sabers, they are not Sith, but are trying to bring back the Sith whom they worship and the Sith Empire and exterminate the Jedi. They are dressed in Black and Chrome Armor and accompanied by Black Clad soldiers.
Luke has been fighting these Jedi Hunters for 30 years this has prevented him from establishing a new republic and a new Jedi Order, and he's old, outnumbered and tired, but he's trying to prevent the return of the Sith, which might be the main storyline of the second movie, the rise of the real enemy.
Ian McDarmid is rumored to be returning as Darth Sideous, however he might only have a cameo as a recording.
There are three Jedi Hunters played by Lupita Nyong'o, Adam Driver, and David Oyelowo.
These are rumors only, but they come from sources involved with Pinewood Studios.
Personally I was hoping that the Sith wouldn't return for a while.
Take it for what it is
