Kylo: wait what—

Kylo: that’s adorable

me: it’s fine mom. I’m fine

lol for some reason I always forget about how genuinely impressive Rey was from the start. How she literally has no experience or training with the Force or a lightsaber, but in her first real battle scene, slashes Kylo Ren in the face and literally puts him down on the ground..? oof, no wonder he fell in love so quick

I was watching the originals and this just occurred to me. I wonder if Han’s presence would have made all the difference for Luke in TLJ. The most emotion we get from Luke in the whole movie isn’t even during his interactions with Leia or fight with Kylo. It’s in the moment when Chewie walks into his hut and Luke realizes that Han isn’t with him. After Rey tells him what happens, he probably even feels responsible for his death, since he believes he failed Ben and partially created Kylo Ren. Luke Skywalker had always been the brightest ray of hope and faith, but by TLJ he had lost it. Neither Leia or Rey could really restore it, but I think Han could have. Just imagine if Han had walked out of the Falcon on Ach-to and held out his hand. Forgiving him and reassuring him that he always had his back, that they’d fight together again. I just can’t help but feel like it would have changed everything.
