DELETED SCENE The Last Jedi Luke mourns the death of Han Solo

A very subtle, yet powerful scene. Bravo Mr Hamill. It may seem like an unimportant clip but it is quite the opposite and it should've stayed in the original film. It's Luke mourning Han for god's sake. Two legacy characters, two fan favourites of the Original Trilogy!!
Nonetheless i dont hate the film but i don't think its good either.
Luke and Kylo were the best part of the film.
I even liked this version of Luke, but i didnt think that killing him was the right thing to do. At all. He should've died like that in 9.
Nor did I like the reason why Kylo "turned".
Oh well....let's hope JJ makes a good film above all else.

Just seventeen short seconds. There is absolutely no reason why this scene would be cut.

Han and Leia got scenes.
Luke and Leia got a scene.
But Han and Luke, the best friends of the original trilogy, never did.

This should have been their scene.

[gaborszucs]

Thank god we got that casino crap instead... "Didn't fit the pacing." pathetic.

[fabianfischer]

Green milk scene: left in.

Critical character moment of Luke's mourning: left out.

Makes sense.

[Ed-hstd]

Its sad once you realize we never got to see: Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie together in the sequel trilogy.

[countD]

This was cut but we got to watch Luke angrily drinking green milk from a giant alien breast? Thanks Rian, you hack...

[AxiomApe]

The fact that this is a *-deleted scene-* pretty much sums up the problems with TLJ.

- Fan : "It's a shame that scene wasn't included, you really nailed Luke's devastated, sorrowful expression !"

- Mark Hamill : "Oh, actually, I didn't notice the camera was still rolling; I was just thinking about what this movie had done to my character"

[tfs]

This deleted scene gave me more goosebumps then the whole movie

[gottesurteil]

Guilt and sorrow, all in 17 seconds, why was this not in the film?

[eriklazo]

This deleted scenes are more star wars than the actual movie

[jamesmccaffery]

For this scene, they actually recorded Mark Hamill's reaction to the script after reading it.

[goianiabraz]

This scene alone was more important than rose ticos entire story

[doriannp]

Mark Hamill is INCREDIBLE at expressing big emotions in subtle ways.

[maxeisenhardt]

Oddly enough, this small scene would strengthen Luke's guilt and his initial reluctance to intervene in the Resistance conflict. And yet, it would also strengthen Luke's final resolve of sacrificing his life to save Leia and the Resistance. Cutting this small but meaningful moment was a misguided move.

[brandon]

It was decided that this scene didn't help assassinate Luke's character as much as they would like.

[Caladras]

"Rian, we need to cut out some parts of the film to improve the pacing. How about the alien cow scene?"
"No. Cut the scene where Luke mourns the death of Han."
"Are you sure? Han's death is kind of important in the story and Luke was his best friend..."
"No. Alien cow is funny. Han's death is not funny."
"But Rian, it's only 16 seconds long anyway..."
"Cut it out. Now."
"But... Why?"
"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."

[JohnSmith-ieyw]

Come on people, you can't have this scene AND Luke breastfeeding off a space cow.

Something had to go.

[MassimoCerreto]

With every cut scene I see, I appreciate more how much effort the makers put into paying attention to every single detail and cutting out any scene that would have made the film better.

[Slask]

Just like Abrams didn’t include in VII a scene where Chewie hugs Leia after Han’s death. Those two directors failed on simple things.
