George Lucas helped shape Star Wars: The Last Jedi because the film's plot was basically his story for Episode VII.

But Lucas' biggest contribution to The Last Jedi was the Luke/Rey story itself, which he'd originally planned for Episode VII, as confirmed by Lucasfilm Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo on Twitter (via Comicbook.com). The idea played out much like what we saw in Johnson's movie: Luke is down and out on a distant planet thirty years after the fall of the Empire. A new hope named Kira finds the old Jedi Master and they begin her training. We would have seen Luke struggling with his failure to stop the Jedi Killer (renamed "Kylo Ren") from destroying his Jedi Academy. (There's also a really intriguing concept mentioned in The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi that suggests that Luke would have been haunted by a Sith ghost during the movie.)
[Luke] always had this potential dark side within him, being that his father was Darth Vader," explained Lucasfilm executive creative director Doug Chiang of the character's arc in the early days of Episode VII. "So he is really struggling with that. He ended up secluding himself in this Jedi temple on a new planet, and he's just there meditating, reassessing his whole life. Gradually, over the arc of the movie, he rediscovers his vitality and comes back to himself."

Says a lot that they made this up after the movie came out rather than before.

I'm not opposed to any of those ideas in concept. The problem is I hate Rey, and this trilogy is tainted by lazy writing, like Snoke appearing from nowhere, and the Empire's rise back to power being handwaved.

What they did with Luke in TLJ was actually completely fine and the only people complaining about it were muh childhood hero nostalgiafags, its an easy way to spot the plebs when they push that criticism over far bigger issues, so its not surprising that good idea came from Lucas.

Is anyone actually buying this shitty damage control? They take Lucas through the mud to say how the new films are better, then have him watch them and give a seal of approval too. On top of that, they've conveniently brought this up after months of people calling them out for doing shit Lucas would never do. 3 solid months of damage control now, everything is totally fine at Lucasfilm and no internal feedback is so bad that they're obligated to defend TLJ instead of hyping up Solo to save the brand. No sir, no problem here.

Though I do think killing Luke was Excessive, just one movie after they killed Han, and just after Carrie Fisher died for real. They should have at least held out his death to Episode 9.
