I have both a suggestion to make and a point about the deleted scenes come the Blu-ray release.
My suggestion is similar to your change of moving the Luke and Yoda scene to a different place in your edit of The Last Jedi. How about moving the scene between Ben and Han to a different place as well? Maybe after Rey leaves Ahch-To in Luke’s X-Wing? Just like how Luke was offscreen for a long period of time, the same could be said about Ben here.
I think it might strain believability that he’d just stay standing on that precarious piece of the Death Star for so long.
True, but then again, why was Luke standing at the edge of a cliff in The Force Awakens for a while before Rey found him?
The difference is with Luke it’s ambiguous what he was up to. With Kylo we saw the preceding scene that put him there.
I can’t remember, but does it cut from him tossing his saber to Rey tossing kindling onto the TIE?
I believe there are a couple of other scenes between them.
I won’t be sure until sometime later, but I think that scene is pretty well tethered to the loss of Leia.
I agree.
