Yeah, there are a few things in that scene that speak to the sequence not being ready for primetime. Personally, though, I agree with RJ’s reasoning for removing the scene. Without it, Luke and Rey have their falling out after a moment of hope and promise. Plus it is a long film as it is. I like the scene a great deal, but that’s why I didn’t reincorporate it into the film.
And without that scene the Caretakers don’t really serve a purpose, even though I don’t at all dislike them.

But let’s curb that topic, as it’s not relevant here.
