96.Rose Tico: “That’s how we’re gonna win. Not fighting what we hate, saving what we love.”

97.Luke Skywalker: “What do you see?” Rey: “The island. Life. Death and decay, that feeds new life. Warmth. Cold. Peace. Violence.” Luke Skywalker: “And between it all?” Rey: “Balance and energy. A force.” Luke Skywalker: “And inside you?” Rey: “Inside me, that same force.”
