“It’s like Thor’s meeting his hero. He’s absolutely smitten by her, and because of her history being Valkyrie and all that. But she’s also this beautiful woman, so he’s kind of caught off guard. She could have him if she wanted. I think he hasn’t come up against that very often.” – Chris Hemsworth
”- This is my favourite scene, by the way, I think. Just the idea that in the background they’re, like, basically ‘I love you. I love you.’ Kissy, kissy. – Well, I think the fact that you blocked it as something that you catch on to, as opposed to sort of cutting to a moment in there is what makes it great. – I just love that they’re in love” — DVD’s commentary JJ.Abrams&co
Spock:I will be back. Uhura: You better be. I’ll be monitoring your frequency. Spock: [actually quite emotional] Thank you, Nyota.
Space was at a premium on the Falcon with so many people crammed onboard, but Rey and Finn managed to find a quiet corner to sit and catch up.
She was still trying to process everything that had happened to her, so she let Finn go first, wrapping herself in the comfort of his words as he spun an amazing tale full of action, betrayal, and racing animals. She nodded in the right places, watching the light dance in his eyes. They were a rich, warm brown, reminding her of the fertile soil of Takodana. More than that, though, it was the sense of life burning within them; the feeling of potential.
Her thoughts darkened as she remembered sensing something similar in Kylo Ren. But where Kylo had been shrouded in oily shadows, Finn seemed to burst with light like a seedling struggling from its shell. He was glowing in the Force and she couldn’t resist basking in it, letting it heal some of her emotional hurts.
“Uh, Rey? Are you alright?”
A moment’s inattention and somehow she’d reached out, cupping his face in her hands. A jolt of guilt went through her before fading away. She smiled into those soft, welcoming eyes and felt her perception of the universe shift just the tiniest bit.
