It’s an improvement, but damn that scene gets worse each time I see it. Every moment feels either subtly or explicitly wrong.
Why is Rey going to the homestead?
Why is BB-8 acting like it belongs to Rey instead of Poe?
Why is Rey riding down the sand like it’s a treasured childhood memory instead of a reminder of her painful past?
Why does Rey go down into the empty house at all if she goes back outside to bury the sabers?
Why does Rey bury the sabers?
Why does she activate her own saber and look at it? Does she just like admiring her own work that much?
Why does a woman suddenly appear in a place where ‘there has been nobody for so long’, and ask about Rey’s last name? Were the Lars family her friends? If so how would Rey’s Skywalker pronouncement mean anything to her?
Why do Luke and Leia appear to her in this moment and not Ben?
Why does Rey turn away from the old woman, who clearly wants to talk to someone, to go stare at the binary sunrise?
Answers:
Rey goes to Tatooine bury Master Skywalker’s lightsaber where he lived.
Rey kind of adopted BB-8 back on Jakku. He’s like a little dog, obedient to a few owners.
Sliding down the sand is a callback to her desert roots, she will never forget where she comes from.
Rey goes down into the house out of curiosity to see where the legend grew up.
Rey buries the sabers to pay respects and show the old ways are ending.
Activating her own saber once again shows we are moving forward out of the old ways. Jedis probably look at their sabers a few time after they make them.
An old woman suddenly appears because she is nosy and saw the Falcon flying near her dwelling.
A nosy person might want to know your last name.
Luke and Leia appear in the moment because they symbolize the twin suns of Tatooine. Adding Ben would be cool, but so far it has not been done well.
Rey turns to the sunrise because time has passed.
