Following the death of Han Solo, there didnt need to be any words. Leia is Force sensitive and so seemingly senses the death of her former partner in crime. As such, when the Resistance returns back to their base, the path conveniently clears and were left with Leia and Rey. These two characters have never seen each other and dont even really know who the other is, but clearly the Force is strong here. The two, in complete silence, embrace in one of the most powerful moments of The Force Awakens and the Star Wars saga as a whole. Seriously, this is right up there in drawing an emotional response from even the most Vader-like of fans. The silent, knowing release of emotion as the two, who also happen to be family, embrace is a moment that will see the coldest of hearts get a little glossy eyed.
