Frances Ford Coppola’s version of that story is quite different, he said Bob Evans gave them an arbitrary length that the film couldn’t be longer than, which I think was 2 hours, their own edit was much longer and closer to the finished film, so they did a 2 hour cut and Evans exploded and said “why did you cut out all the good stuff, put that back in,” but they had only done this much shorter cut at his orders, then he ordered Coppola to come back to LA as he had been editing the film in his own facility in San Francisco, Coppola said he thought Evans just wanted them back editing it in LA so he could keep a closer eye on them and this charade was just a pretence to demand this

This is a note to a note but I always thought the reason that fans hated TLJ is because at least half the audience was 30 to 50 year old men who were there because when they were 5 to 12 years old, they either wanted to be Luke Skywalker or train with Luke Skywalker. So the reveal that Luke was a huge self pitying jerk AND he would try and kill you in your sleep because he caught you on galactic 4chan or whatever really DID kill their childhoods. It's the masculine equivalent of doing a sequel to the Disney Beauty and the Beast where Belle tells her daughter to get her nose out of a book because reading is an obstacle to catching a man.
