Hey Yuri,

I’m glad you liked it!

Hal may be able to express it better, but to me, the broom boy scene hammers home the impact of Luke’s actions at the end of the film. In many ways, this film is about survival and rebirth. The resistance is on the ropes, and needs a spark of hope, which Luke provides. This spark is not just for the Resistance, but really for all of the downtrodden that the Resistance is fighting for.

Having children play with Luke Skywalker toys and recreating the showdown on Crait shows that the story of Luke is spreading around the galaxy, and that the rebel spirit may have been reignited.

It makes Luke’s actions have more scope. He didn’t just save Leia and a few Resistance fighters, but he lived up to his legend and “restored a spark of hope to the fight…”
