That would seem to settle the matter, but Lucas gave another answer in 1997 that would suggest otherwise.

Lucas: Humm, I don’t know…..

I’m not sure which kind of characters will be in the sequels.

Left: Jain Solo holding a blue lightsaber in Star Wars Legends; Center: Luke Skywalker wearing his black robes; Ben Solo wearing white robes and holding a lightsaber.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Either way, Lucas at least seemed open to the idea at one time.

Of course, it’s worth noting thatLucas also made statements against Luke getting marriedin later years.

The son of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, Luke was brought up on the desert planet Tatooine. Initially mentored by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke fired the fateful shot that destroyed the Death Star, and he became a rebel hero. Despite the fears of Obi-Wan and Yoda, Luke’s faith in his father was proved well-founded when Vader returned to the light. With the Emperor defeated, Luke dedicated himself to bringing back the Jedi; his first attempt ended in tragedy due to Palpatine’s manipulations, but Luke’s legacy lives on in Rey.
