There’s this little detail that I’m not sure someone already mentioned, but wow. I totally forgot about Rey marking the days in her little hut. When I first saw it in theaters, I was initally thinking, “For what reason is she marking the days that pass?”
Then, I stumbled upon some TFA fanart, and NOW did it fucking hit me. She was obviously doing a “Days passed of no sign of parents returning”. Touching little detail that I forgot happened since I only saw this film once and rarely seen mentioned.
