It does seem like Rey and Kylo have a much larger reaction to Leia sensing/resolving what to do than they do when she actually does die. Kylo in particular when he stares off into space after collapsing, dejected; seems like he’s maybe just feeling that way because he himself is about to die.
Indeed, that’s the feeling I get from it as well, like they are just realizing that these are her final moments and then once she dies there’s a moment of silence. I think it works.
Also the music repeats itself once, so I might see if there’s another cue to sub in that works.
Ah, good catch. I hadn’t even noticed that.
