** After Rey healed Kylo/Ben, she confessed to him that she did want to take his hand, but specifically not as Kylo but as Ben, before she runs off, taking his ship and abandoning him on the wrecked Death Star out of extreme guilt.

** Speaking of Lando, when we see the entire Resistance celebrating their grand victory at the end, Lando is seated off to the side with a gloomy look on his face. While he might simply be tired after the battle given his advanced age, it is just as likely that he's unable to fully enjoy the celebration given how alone he is now that his closest friends, Han, Luke, and Leia, are gone.

**Following up on that, Poe's anguished "NO!" when Snap's x-wing explodes, and his DespairEventHorizon after that.

* Leia dies in a similar manner to Luke by straining herself using the Force to communicate with Kylo/Ben across the galaxy.

* Leia dies in a similar manner to Luke by straining herself using the Force to communicate with Kylo/Ben across the galaxy.galaxy, giving one word with the last of her strength that stops Kylo/Ben in his tracks, giving Rey the opening to deal the final blow.

* Kylo/Ben seeing a vision of Han after Leia's death. Rey pointed out earlier in the film that he is still tormented over murdering his father, and it's clear on his face when he is talking to this vision. This is especially apparent when, after addressing his father as "Han Solo" for so long, Ben finally says "Dad" and then breaks down in tears. There are direct [[CallBack callbacks]] to Han's death in ''Film/TheForceAwakens''-- revisiting the "Your son is dead" exchange, the repeat of "I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it," and Han touching his son's face, which is no longer scarred. This time, Kylo/Ben throws his lightsaber away rather than activating it, [[ThatManIsDead choosing to be Ben Solo again]]. Cue the [[Heartwarming/TheRiseOfSkywalker happy tears]].
