Okay, so even though a couple of months and change has now passed since "The Last Jedi" was released, I still want to remain courteous to anyone who might not yet have seen the movie, yet intends to sometime in the future.
So, that means that this is a warning that there are spoilers up ahead. If you have not yet seen the movie, and do not want the surprise to be spoiled for you, then stop reading now, and look away.

*****SPOILER ALERT!*****
Last warning, because here goes:
Okay, so if you are still reading, either you have seen the movie already, or have not seen it and have no intention of seeing it or do not mind spoiling surprises in advance, and yet are reading this regardless, for some reason.
Recently, two of the actors portraying major characters from the recently released Star Wars movie took very different positions regarding their characters. For one, it seems that there is a hesitancy to let go of the character, to resign his fate. For the other, it appears that there is almost an eagerness to get the next movie over and done with, and to move on with her life and not look back at the character that she has come to define in the most recent Star Wars trilogy.
Mark Hamill, who played the iconic Luke Skywalker character that the first Star Wars trilogy largely revolved around, has voiced some of the problems that he has had with the character's portrayal in "The Last Jedi." Although he later regretted his differences with the vision of director Rian Johnson, Hamill had said that he had could not believe how the director saw his traditional character, Luke Skywalker, and warned old school fans of the original Star Wars that they were not going to see the Luke Skywalker that they had grown up on and loved.
Now, more recently, he also suggested, a bit jokingly, that he cannot believe that Luke is actually dead:
“I refuse to believe that he’s gone. My theory is he just teleported to somewhere else and left his robe behind. He teleported to a nudist colony, that’s what I’m hoping.”
Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey - the character similar to Luke Skywalker for this new trilogy in that she appears to be "the new hope," if you will, as the rising Jedi strong in the ways of the Force, to help fight in the struggle against the Dark Side of the Force - has gone quite the opposite direction, suggesting that she will hang up her role of playing Rey forever after the still untitled Episode IX movie comes out (it is slated for release in late 2019).
In an interview with Rolling Stone late last year, around the time that "The last Jedi" was being promoted and about to be released, Ridley said that she would not be interested in any future reprise of her role as Rey, which seems almost like a throwback to Harrison Ford's reluctance to ever play his character, Han Solo, again:

“No. For me, I didn’t really know what I was signing on to. I hadn’t read the script, but from what I could tell, it was really nice people involved, so I was just like, ‘Awesome.’ Now I think I am even luckier than I knew then, to be part of something that feels so like coming home now."
Perhaps there is still a possibility to play the role again, after Episode IX?
“No, no, no. I am really, really excited to do the third thing and round it out, because ultimately, what I was signing on to was three films. So in my head, it’s three films. I think it will feel like the right time to round it out.”
So it appears that either we will have to go without Rey following Episode IX, or if we see her again, it will either be another actress, or perhaps even CGI.
Strange developments again surrounding the Star Wars saga, where the drama outside of the films sometimes rivals the drama within the films.
