We know that: "For over a thousand generations, the Jedi knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic". My question is, did the New Republic's leadership (besides Leia Organa) actually want new Jedi knights to serve in a similar capacity as their predecessors had? If so, did the New Republic leaders charge Luke with the task of creating a New Jedi Order?

1Using strictly OT movies canon - given the rebellion's fondness for "may the force be with you" it is implicit that the Jedi Returning would be welcomed. We don't get much of the regular person's belief in the force other than it is clearly there. I wish Rogue One had emphasized more the comeuppance athiest Krennic had from Darth Vader after persecuting Jyn Erso's mom for her beliefs.– lucasbachmannFeb 4 at 6:50
