Interesting ideas RogueLeader . I think the Last Jedi could easily be made to stand alone in an edit . All one needs to do is add the scene from Tros , with the falcon and all the citizens of the galaxy swooping in with a thousand ships to the end of TLJ . this way the audience can infer that the galaxy finally rose up in response to Luke’s actions at the battle of Crait. I think it would be easy to infer that the first order and Kylo were defeated and peace reigns once more in the galaxy . Could put a bit of text at the end to drive it home , but I think the audience wouldn’t need that much hand holding to get it . I personally consider TLJ the end of the Skywalker saga and that’s how I rationalize it in my head canon . There were things I enjoyed about Tros , but it went too far off the rails for me . I just consider it a fun popcorn movie and try to shut my brain off when I watch it .
