^ I LOVE 'See ya ‘round kid’ and I’d be really sorry to lose it if for no other reason than it gives Luke a bit more of a badass personality (within this movie considering he’s sulking for 90 percent of it)…but I certainly don’t disagree with your point:- that it seemed like it was foreshadowing some sort of payoff to come…that never came (sigh)

I’d personally vote to still keep it in (?) so as not to rob Luke of having that moment and because I guess he needs to ‘sign off’ their encounter somehow and have the last word? but I can totally see your angle here.
