Yeah, I understand the rationale for Ben’s death, but I would still like to see a version where he lives for different reasons too. I think that would be a popular alternate ending for a lot of people.
Someone pointed out how as Ben is holding Rey’s dead body in his arms, he looks around the room as if he is hoping someone, anyone, is there to help. But no one ever shows up. It’s weird how the Force ghosts will talk to Rey but not to Ben.
