** Luke's entire final sequence is this. He tells his nephew that "if you strike me down, I'll always be with you," and gets to go out with a line reminiscent of both his mentor figure and brother-in-law.

** Luke has cut himself off from the Force, hiding away. Finally, after moments of deep contemplation he reaches out again, feeling the Force. And the first thing he does is check on his sister. And it's what wakes Leia up from her coma.

** More subtly, it's notable that C-3PO, the galaxy's perpetual grand champion MomentKiller, ''doesn't make a sound'' as Luke arrives and is reunited with his sister. For once, even he can sense that now is '''not''' the right time to horn in on a conversation or complain about things.

*** Furthermore, Luke makes sure that Kylo Ren gets the message that he isn't irredeemable as well. The dice Luke gives Leia are, like him, actually a Force projection. But the dice don't fade away until after Kylo finds them in the abandoned base... '''after Luke has passed away'''. It's an immediate, if subtle sign that even while one with the Force, he will be keeping his word and always will be with Kylo.

No meta moment, see this query.


** And on a meta level, Creator/LauraDern seeing the original ''Star Wars'' at age 10 was a big part of what made her want to become an actress, and we're clearly seeing her own glee in getting to play this scene with Creator/CarrieFisher.



*** Which is also heartwarming on a meta level, as John Williams felt the piece is one of his best themes, and yet it only got a few, dialogue heavy minutes in ''Return of the Jedi''. For him to revisit it, which he never thought he'd ever get the chance to do, is a heartwarming reminder that we are lucky to have Williams still around for these films.

Adding a bit about how even the "Nowhere" joke itself is heartwarming.

** Even the joke this sets us up for has a heartwarming element to it. The boy from Tatooine understands as well as the girl from Jakku what it's like to come from "nowhere".

* Even if he later ruins it by selling them to the First Order, by the time they have infiltrated the ''Supremacy'', DJ has started to look like a cool uncle figure to Finn, Rose and BB-8. He gives Rose [[PetTheDog her sister's pendant back]] after using it as a conductor to short-out a control panel, telling her he had no intention of holding onto it, and also chats about morals with Finn in what DJ clearly considers to be a bit of street-wise mentoring. Traitorous as he might be, his visibly uncomforable face after selling them implies he liked them for real.
