I agree. In addition to the preservation of the texts, there's Yoda, who is still portrayed as the wisest character in the series. He didn't mind burning the tree, but when Luke told him "It's time for the Jedi to end" his reply was "It's time...for you to get your head out of your rear end and get to the problem at hand." He didn't endorse the "end of the Jedi" point of view, and regarded any failures of the Jedi (including Luke's) as valuable sources of wisdom rather than a justification for giving up.

I took that as Yoda saying something along the lines of "the Jedi as you know them may be gone, but something better than the old order could take their place. But that's no excuse to hide and ignore everything, you need to get out there and try to do some good and help them."

 Whatever they would have come up with for who Snoke is and who Rey's parents are would never have lived up for how hyped up they were, with a mix of "of COURSE Luke is Rey's dad" thrown in, so I'm happy TLJ just said gently caress your theories, we're doing our own thing, and I think it's better for it. I was legitimately surprised they killed Snoke that early, which was great, anything else would have been "oh, that's the twist they contrived up".
