Quote #7

KYLO REN: At night, desperate to sleep...you imagine an ocean. I see it—I see the island...

Quote #8

HAN: People are counting on us! The galaxy is counting on us!

FINN: Solo, we'll figure it out! We'll use the Force!

HAN: That's not how the Force works—!

Any parent knows Han's tone of voice here: the same tone they use when they try to explain why God won't make cookies appear just by praying for them. The Force isn't a catch-all solution to every problem. It's something very, very different and needs to be understood as such.

Quote #9

LEIA: May the Force be with you.

Believe it or not, this is the last line of dialogue in the film. Frankly, we'd be really disappointed if it were anything else. It's not only the best tagline in the history of everything, but a reminder that these jumped-up space cowboys are actually touching on something more spiritual and profound.
