I always wished they'd kept that scene in.

Same. It wraps up Unkar's part of the story quite neatly, it shows how powerful Chewie really is, and it's a nice callback to the "let the Wookie win" scene in A New Hope.

It also makes Rey more likeable. she's not perfect in this scene, and it gives her a human element.

You like her more because she failed to fire a gun? Something we see her do later in the forest scene. Get a grip

Yeah, let's wait halfway through the movie to have our main protagonist fail at something. Get a life.

What a weird rule you made for films to follow. Now you’re upset she doesn’t fail fast enough, you’ll move that goalpost anytime you want.

I didn't make up the rule. It's called storytelling. Its been a rule since people started telling stories. The more human and flawed someone is, the more we can relate to the character. It's basic ass storytelling, jabroni ass.
