RUMOR: [SPOILER] Will Reportedly Return In J.J. Abrams' STAR WARS EPISODE IX

@Nebula - Except the whole purpose of Luke going in the Falcon was to mourn Han so the scene is redundant & pointless since the Falcon scene is better & moves the story forward

@SupermansTrunks - Except the force was already balanced...he [frick]ed up the balance in the force.

@SupermansTrunks - Hang on, that's not balance...that's chaos.

@ForceOfLegend - Finn & Rose’s scenes are only like 15 minutes of a 2 and a half hour film.

Not defending them but looking only at Luke’s arc, it’s unneeded

It’s like the Jabba scene in ANH but Jabba is worse. We have Greedo tell Han about Jabba and then a scene of Jabba confronting Han. Jabba confronting Han does nothing to move the story forward not tells us anything we didn’t know that Greedo told us.

Now while Luke mourning Han is one shot & a overall nice scene, I prefer the Falcon mourn because well think about it. Luke is obviously mourning Han greatly. He didn’t even notice R2 was there. We have Luke looking around the Falcon, taking the funky dice, & sitting thinking how he failed his friend along with all the memories he had with Han. We are at one of Luke’s lowest points in the film

Then he meets R2. Old friend. He’s so joyous and happy. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t mourn Han, as he tells Leia he’s sorry, but it gives Luke happiness. Plus we have R2 tell Luke basically stop moaning and train Rey

Luke’s journey in this film began with seeing a hologram of Leia’s message & ends with Luke being a hologram confronting Leia & Kylo. It’s like poetry. It rhymes

I know I want off there a bit. Don’t get me wrong, I did question why we didn’t see Luke mourn Han at first but I realized the Falcon bit was the Han mourning scene. It’s a nice deleted scene but not a necessary one to the film

I’ve only seen TLJ once and did not like it but I felt the Luke on the Falcon scene represented him reflecting on the larger OT adventures. Han too of course, but really the whole crew. It’s the vessel that took Luke from his Tatooine past, the tragedy of his uncle and aunt and the memory of Obi-Wan. I didn’t take it as an exclusive Han grieving scene but I dunno, maybe it was supposed to be. I thought the movie was all over the place so who knows.

@nikgrid - And it did so beautifully in my opinion
