It certainly wouldn’t have hurt. I mean, that movie has so many problems I don’t think one scene is going to solve much, but I agree it would have been one of the better moments in a head scratching befuddlement of a film.
The Last Jedi doesn’t need saving. It’s good the way it is. There’s always room for improvement, but alot of the reactions to this movie were ridiculous
It’s fine as a standalone film, it’s not fine as the middle movie of a trilogy.
They left no where for Rise of Skywalker to go, and ended all the ongoing plotlines in the intentionally most controversial manner they could think of that went against what fans wanted.
You can’t do that in the middle movie of a trilogy.
When you look back at Empire and Attack of the Clones, we had a reason to go back to the theater after the movies ended – to see how Han gets rescued, and deal with the larger threat of the Emperor, and to find out how The Clone Wars ends.
TLJ gave us no where to go. We are fighting the same villain (Ren) who has had no character development across two movies, there is no larger threat, there is no war to be resolved. It’s essentially the end of the first movie – except the main bad guy is dead and so are all the characters we love from the Original Trilogy.
This is not the fault of TLJ, but rather Kennedy and Lucasfilm for (they have now admitted, after telling us all this wasn’t the case) not having an arcing plan for the sequel trilogy.
You can like TLJ and it’s themes, and the direction it wants to explore – but it’s a bad middle movie of a trilogy regardless of those things.
If the movie has been anything else but Star Wars and pre-established characters. It would easily be a 6 out of 10 movie. Too many tonal inconsistencies and bad writing and dialogue and really moronic bad guys would have held it from being any higher either way. But yes it was a complete tragedy of a Star Wars movie.
I feel like people are going to come around on sequel trilogy the same way they came around on the prequel trilogy. The prequels were just as controversial back in the day and now people like them, myself included (except for Jar Jar lol)
TLJ was nowhere near the worst nor most heavily criticized of the sequel trilogy. In fact plenty of people like it just fine. ROS is widely agreed-upon to be by far worse.
Heck, if the Internet has been around in 1980 there might never have been a third movie. Some people like to pretend that everybody loved Episode 5 right away, but that’s simply wasn’t the case. They just didn’t have a quick and easy echo chamber to complain into back then
Nope. That wouldn’t have changed how horrible the entire new trilogy was. The writing and story was lazy and forced, it was a Disney money grab, an attempt at proprietary storylines and characters they could capitalize on with toys etc without ever paying a dime to the folks that created the EU, which would have been better storylines all around.
That deleted scene would have truly been wonderful. It would have been so good for Luke to see Han again, but if not, at least give him the opportunity to mourn his great friend’s loss, and at the hand of Han’s son.
While most will actually agree this writer that this scene should have been left in. Nice try at being bias and revisionist history here. In actual reality, ROS is hands down the most “controversial” film of the newest trilogy.
The Last Jedi didn’t need to be “saved.” It was a great movie, certainly the best Star Wars movie outside of the original trilogy. Some people just can’t handle not having their preconceived notions pandered to
How about the evil empire, also known as Disney, just do the story as it is written in the books instead of regurgitating the same story written farther down the road but same basic premise.
Bring on the yusong vong wars. Ben solo as Luke Skywalker kid. Jason and Jalen solo, twins. And anakin solo as Han and Leia solo kids. Jason is the one that turns.
Plus the truth that the jedi committed genocide against the sith causing the war in the first place.
Disney made the whole thing messy as they searched for a money grab to recoup the capital from overpaying George Lucas.
As bad & divisive as TLJ was, the biggest problem was with TFA.
That movie destroyed just about every character from the OT that the majority of the Star Wars fan base grew up with.
They made Luke into a broken, reclusive hermit. They had Han & Leia end up having a broken marriage & a broken family. You just don’t do that to characters that people grew with & were inspired by for almost 40 years.
EXACTLY Disney can fix this franchise but they have to let George Lucas do it and they have to bring back Mark Hamill and and Harrison Ford to film ghost scenes and all this other stuff that you could use to create Redemption arcs and have Mark Hamill come back from the force to finish training Rey the new trilogy can bring back Luke to help Ray fight the new evil and help her finish training right now Ray is a Mary Sue character and you’re never going to get the fan base to agree with you that I have love for the original series you don’t have a big enough fan base of a younger generation to keep your franchise going so good luck with that Disney
You clearly I have a biased view on what you want Star Wars to be and I have no issues with that but you need your own franchise and fans that love the original need theirs as sad as that is that you can’t just accept the original storyline and stop trying to change it for your own political and personal biases
NO lol. Nothing can save this movie because it does not respect Source material and it doesn’t respect the character of Luke however they can bring Luke back now from the Force ghost because in the expanded universe he can go in and out of the force Realm from Ghost to flesh and blood so they can bring him back to finish training Ray and that would redeem it and that’s the only way they could do it at this point
The trilogy is criticized because it didn’t follow some mythical plotline OG fans wanted ( no reason to go if you know plot), but because there was no cohesion between the 3 films or film makers. They/we are upset because Luke gets one scene and no dialogue in 1st film. We’re upset because the trilogy that was never going to happen by some miracle, some greedy miracle, happened… but with not one scene of our 3 or 4 hereos together. If it’s all a cash grab, I don’t care, but make movies that make sense and not just thrown together and there will be even more cash. The FOrce Awakens was just a New Hope but 35 years later and Palpatine as the big bad was just so lazy. What a mess.
I think another deleted scene called “the third lesson” should have been left in and would have made the movie better. The best parts of TLJ were Rey’s training scenes with Luke.

Awful awful money grab of a film from the worst installment of the worst trilogy by far.
Aze
At least in this movie Palpatine did nit “somehow return” 🤷♀️

The way Disney disrespected star wars, Luke and Mark Hamill. Will not easily be forgotten. Fire K Kennedy! She’s a cancer on the franchise.

“Most hated.” Shut up, already. It’s pathetic.
