Yes, that’s a great idea! Not only did that line make Luke look like a hypocrite for not even reading his most sacred texts, but it blatantly contradicts the next movie. It needs to go.
That always bothered me ever since I saw the film. If Luke cares so much about the texts and Jedi and even tries to run into a burning tree to save them. Why would he not have read them?! It just makes Luke seem childish and foolish for the sake of making a joke work. Now if the joke were between Luke and Rey or even Rey and Yoda it would work. Overconfident new Jedi Rey defending texts she’s never read vs. Jedi Master Luke not even bothering to read texts he spent 30 years tracking down. It NEEDS to go.
