Any edits that remove Luke from the sequel trilogy?

Has anyone attempted this yet? I’m actually okay with Palps being the big baddy, but the way they handled Luke can NOT be forgiven.

Let him be dead when the Episode 7 scroll begins and the light has gone out of the galaxy with him. Let Leia train Rey. She then goes to Ahch-To on a quest to “find herself” perhaps the cave is is the sole reason she is there. The only version of Luke we should see is Force Ghost Luke when Rey tosses the saver into the fire and the final battle with Palps, as per Hal’s edit.

Too bad his encounter with Ben on Krate can’t be salvaged… THAT Luke was bad ass.

Anyway, rant over.

I’m fixing Luke in my cut of TLJ. It will be the Luke we wanted to see. I’m getting close to finishing it now. I totally changed his personality.

Not to be too Testing about it - and I know there’s been a “FanFix” category of fanedits since time immemorial - but can we collectively stop referring to completely subjective changes as ‘fixes’? Fixes are what Adywan does when he corrects an accidental visual mistake or continuity error, not what’s being done when an editor consciously moves a film away from what was originally intended. Both are totally valid, and half the fun of being in this community is seeing everyone’s very different takes on what can be made from the same material, but surely if there’s anything that’s apparent from the discussions on this website, it’s that there’s a wide variety of opinions about what people do or don’t enjoy or “want to see” in each Star Wars movie.

I agree with that. Sometimes when I jump in real quick and just type up a reply I’m not thinking about stuff like that. However, you’re correct.

My reply was in response to the post and obviously the Luke presented wasn’t the one they wanted. I wasn’t trying to offend anyone who likes anything different from what I like. If I did, I apologize. Movies, like all entertainment is subjective.
