“She was quick to learn in our training. But Leia felt she could better serve the galaxy through diplomacy, as our mother once did. In her life, Leia lost everything, and everyone, but she still chose to love. A thousand generations live in you now. We’ll always be with you, but this is your fight.”
Please don’t bring back the “both sabers” line! I like the concept we had because it is really the only time where there is a “passing of the torch” to Rey. Basically Luke saying, yeah Rey, we’ll still be around, but it’s your job to make the right choice now.
Also, I do quite like the new AI line that mentions their mother. Yes. It is fan service. But it would be the only time, Padme, a core character from the prequels is mentioned in any post-ROTS movies. It would suck to lose this, and this does feel like something that could have been in the original version of the film. The new line also describes Leia’s “canon” reason perfectly.
