I think what breaks my heart the most is that Ben is so visibly happy that Rey’s alive, he’s not even concerned about his own life. She’s what matters most to him and the fact that he smiles so genuinely and joyfully just,,,.man it fucking wrecks me
Rey held the body of her soulmate in her arms and sobbed. It was over. She felt empty.
And through her tears she thought she saw a soft blue glow appear. She looked up, and gasped.
Around them stood five blue figures. Force ghosts. All of them looking at her and the shadow left by Ben Solo.
Luke and Leia she recognised. To their right stood two men. And from the stories Leia had told her, she knew they were known as Qui-Gon and Obiwan Kenobi.
Finally, her eyes settled on the last ghost - a young man with startling blue eyes and a wicked scar. And somehow she knew, or sensed - this was Anakin Skywalker.
One by one they placed their glowing hands against Ben Solo’s chest.
“These are you first steps,” Obiwan said.
“We will be with you. Always,” assured Luke and Leia, smiling at her.
She could only watch in disbelief as the figures glowed brighter and brighter, blinding her in the process. Light. Energy. So much energy. And then nothing.
The body in her arms stirred. And sure enough dark eyes blinked open and focused on her.
Ben gets injured and falls unconscious. He sees a vision of Rey in his dream. Through the swirling light she appears over Ben and kisses him on the lips.
Then he awakes….she’s nowhere to be seen.
Was that a simple dream or she indeed reached out for him through their force bond? - he wonders

Now that Dumb and Dumber are gone, Disney needs to hire Guillermo del Toro to develop literally anything set in the Star Wars universe.
Guillermo del Toro has a sense for world building and storytelling and fairytales that would meld PERFECTLY with Star Wars. Please Disney. He was robbed of The Hobbit, give him this!
