Except it’s not the same and that’s what my initial point was in replying to Yotsuya. Rey testing her saber was already discarded as a possible in story reason for igniting her saber since it’s clear it was completed well before this scene and would have been tested back when it was actually completed rather than carrying around an untested saber with no tools on hand to continue working on it if it doesn’t work the first time you go to use it.

Well I don’t think we know that. But now it doesn’t matter.

True we don’t know that but it’s a pretty logical conclusion seeing that the movie doesnt tell you any different or give you any reason to reach a different conclusion. At the end of TROS Rey ignites what can only be assumed to be a previously constructed and tested new lightsaber for no discernible reason except to show the audience she finally made her own saber, something she should have done during TLJ or at the start of TROS but then that would be getting dangerously close to just directly mimicking an OT movie again.

Yes it doesn’t really matter, except when someone points out that it doesn’t make sense and someone tries to excuse it because Luke did the same thing in a deleted scene, except the context is different.

Also simply saying “they done it first” is not really a great reason anyway to justify a scene that still makes no sense regardless of any actual previous examples. I literally said to one of my kids the other day that just because their sibling does something doesn’t mean you have to. If they stuck their hand in a fire would you? No, I didn’t think so LOL…
