My point is that I moved Luke’s death to the end,

Ending a movie on a death scene doesn’t work. You need to see what was achieved by the sacrifice. That’s why you have celebrations on ROTJ and TPM…

I see where you’re coming from (though personally I like TPM to end on that closeup of Palpatine at the funeral…). To some extent, you do see what Luke’s sacrifice achieves - the Resistance gets away and Kylo feels the futility of his attempts to lash out. You just don’t realise that the effort has killed him until afterwards. I’m not 100% sold on it either, but I’m just looking for a way for Luke’s death scene to feel less like it’s rushed over in that reasonably fast paced ending sequence.
