I just think it’s unnecessary. People would have moaned if the film ended with the lightspeed jump now because so much was built up about Luke, but in 10 years when you are rewatching the trilogy, it would make more sense.

Should people’s home viewing a decade after the fact have really been the top priority, though?

I get what you are saying but that is like writing this movie like a TV show series finale. I did not mean that it should be moved to the next film to make the next film better. My point with the ‘rewatching the trilogy’ part is that in 10 years when you’ve got 2 other films with Luke Skywalker in it, the ‘coolness’ of getting to see him again will not be as important and presenting the film in the best possible (storytelling) way would take precedence.

It’s just a personal preference. I don’t prefer as literary devices in films wedged in cliffhangers and flashbacks.
