Why not? RJ chose to have Rey come to the Resistance’s rescue, and have her react like this:

This is what I mean with a lack of consequences. It’s all a matter of buildup, and cinsistent tone. If you want what has happened to her to resonate with the viewer, it should resonate with the character.

This is one of the things that bothers me most about TLJ. In the scene previous to the Krait battle she faces the harsh reality that her parents are bums who don’t care about her. Then she fails to turn Kylo Ren. Technically she has seen failure (all the characters in TLJ do), but there aren’t really any personal or emotional consequences for her or any of the characters at the end of the movie. Every character the audience could care about lives, and they all seem quite happy in that group photo at the end.
