(as far as I’m concerned the ending “helicopter shot” is absolutely hideous. So cheap, so weird - looks like Luke is played by a dummy -, so out of place, so… dumb… I would completely remove it)

I don’t think it’s entirely out of place, but it doesn’t work well at the end. I made a mockup of how this scene might end differently, but it’s definitely outside the scope of this edit:

Well, I don’t like it either. This helicopter movement does not belong here at all. It should have been a static shot (like in your edit - except I would suggest to finish on Luke, not Rey -, but without the helicopter shot), not that (I’m talking about the theatrical cut, not your effort to make it right). There are several ugly shots in this movie but this one deserves an award both for ugliness and silliness. IMHO of course 😄
