While Ach-To is in the conversation, can we talk about “It was fear that kept me here”? I know I’m just parroting Nerrel’s video, but ever since he pointed it out I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Luke was kept there by shame, and a genuine belief that the Jedi are a bad thing. It’s a hard thing to reconcile with TROS’s conversation, but I think “it was shame that kept me here” and “what are you most ashamed of” (in a Rey Palpatine cut, of course) would make a lot more sense. Not that I have a good way to implement that or anything.
I decided to cut that line and just have a slight pause after Luke says “I was wrong!” just to let it sink in. Fear keeping him there didn’t seem right when he also says “Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi”
I’d love to have Luke say “because you’re a Skywalker” at that point but there wouldn’t be any follow-up other than the end line. It would make more sense if she were, IMO
