* If you idle long enough in the Great Temple's Energy Controller Room, U-Mos will play with the moths in the room by summoning a ball of light. It makes you wonder if the Luminoth kept those moths as pets...
** He might simply feel a kinship with them, or perhaps sees them as his ancestors. Perhaps he sees it as playing with the grandparents?
* Over the course of the game, Samus becomes the champion of the Luminoth and one could say, their deity when she obtains the Light Suit, essentially becoming one with the light of Aether. She's momentarily leaving her Chozo heritage and legacy behind to give the Luminoth hope.
* The fact the Luminoth are actually grateful to Samus for everything she's done for them. Even the ''dead ones'' show respect to Samus for her heroics!
** At this point it’s practically a day at the office for Samus to save an entire planet and save an entire civilization. Yet as she walks off, she waves goodbye...
** What's really great about this is that Samus was finally able to save one of the advanced precursor species. We still don't know what's going on with the Chozo, whatever sane civilization on Bryyo among the Reptilicus has all but died out, and the Alimbic were victims of their own hubris, but at last some remnant of the past civilizations has been allowed to prosper again. Samus may sometimes be a DestructiveSavior, but her heart is in the right place, and she's very humble about the major feat she was able to accomplish for the Luminoth at large.
* Combined with ''SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome'', the above points are extra heartwarming when all of the Luminoth Lore is read in sequence, and you realize just how hopeless their situation was. They fought a bloody war with the Ing, but were never on the side of aggression, only fighting to defend their home. Yet [[CurbStompCushion while they were able to strike some blows to the Ing menace, they ultimately did not stand a chance]]. The final Luminoth Lore log reveals that the final remaining Luminoth were put into stasis pods to sleep forever, while U-Mos quietly waited for the Ing to come and kill him, hoping and praying in utter desperation that somehow, ''something'' would come to help and deliver the Luminoth from this scourge. It really seemed like the Ing would completely lay waste to such a peaceful civilization... [[SpannerInTheWorks until Samus showed up]]. Not only does she manage to bring their evil plan to a screeching halt by destroying the Ing sent to kill U-Mos and recovering the Energy Transfer Module, but she completely turns the situation around by storming Dark Aether and re-capturing the planetary energy and returning it back to Aether. And she does it all because [[MyGreatestSecondChance she doesn't want to see another race go extinct like the Chozo seemingly did]]! It's absolutely an adventure that defines who [[ActionGirl Samus]] [[FriendToAllLivingThings is as a character]].

!! In ''Prime 3: Corruption''
* In [=SkyTown=], you can access an observatory and scan numerous planets, including Tallon IV and Aether. In the case of those two, you'll learn that Tallon IV is recovering from the Phazon infestation, and the Luminoth are rebuilding their civilization on Aether. Feels good to know that Samus really made a difference on those two worlds, and that she can ''save'' planets just as well as she can blow them up.
* After defeating Dark Samus and destroying Phaaze, Samus takes the time to travel back to [=SkyTown=]. There, she disembarks, deactivates her helmet, and sits down at the landing pad, [[DueToTheDead where she thinks back to her bounty-hunter colleagues]]--specifically not as Dark Samus's pawns, but mainly as the professionals they used to be. Something about the scene--a hardened bounty hunter who saved the galaxy many times, taking the opportunity to silently mourn people she knew only briefly--is just incredibly human, especially for a Nintendo-IP game.
