While I agree in principle with everything EddieDean says, I still get a bad taste from having Leia explicitly foresee Ben’s death and to subsequently quit being a Jedi to prevent it from coming to pass… only for Rey to then take up the lightsaber, triumphantly “complete” Leia’s journey in her stead, and have it result in Ben’s death, as predicted. I feel like the plot thread about Rey taking up Leia’s journey was intended to be uplifting, rather than weirdly fatalistic.

The theatrical placement of Leia becoming one with the Force just after Ben’s death compounds this general sense of weirdness for me - it almost gives the impression that Leia needs Ben dead for her to become a proper Jedi, or something like that. It gives me “sigh of relief” vibes. It all compounds to make Leia and Luke adopting Rey without ever mourning on-screen for Ben, and him theatrically not appearing as a ghost, even more uncomfy. Some people read the scene of Leia teaching out to Ben as her intentionally distracting him so Rey can stab him, which I think is stupid and obviously not intended, but I can sort of see where they’re coming from when the rest of the movie seems to give off this sense of everyone just accepting Ben has to die.
