While we’re on the topic of Rey’s arc and TLJ, I think the resolution of that arc - Rey taking Kylo’s word to “Let the past die. Kill it if you have to. It’s the only way you’ll become what you were meant to be,” letting go of her toxic parents entirely, beginning to fixiate towards the Resistance, and becoming what she was meant to be… a better person, who no longer hinges her life and worth around toxic, drunken parents who neglected her, who threw her away like garbage - should feel stronger and more climactic for the parent story arc (I didn’t really feel too much weight in my previous viewings of the movie) as it is supposed to be the climax of the parent story arc.
