The film would have been much better if they had cut to credits as Rey makes the jump to lightspeed.How? The entire movie would have felt like a waste if we didn’t see Luke. Secondly, the scene wasn’t even that long so I’m confused as to how such a brief scene effects the rest of film.
It is about the search for Luke Skywalker. Nothing says they have to actually meet Luke Skywalker once they discover where he is.
Traveling to meet him the climax of the story. The story would be incomplete without it.
They have an entire trilogy to flesh out that storyline.
There are many other things that needs to be fleshed out that having Rey find Luke in Episode VIII would divert time away from an aspect of the film that actually needs to be developed. Also why create another needless parallel to the OT?
It would be like ending ESB with the entire gang landing on Tatooine and walking up to Jabba’s palace.
No it wouldn’t because they’re still in the midst of fighting a war.
