10 Signs Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Is Ripping Off Harry Potter

2. Spiritually Connected Major Characters

One of the most intriguing parts of the Harry-Voldemort dynamic was their spiritual link. A part of Tom Riddle’s soul resided inside of Harry and thus the two could see and feel what the other was going through.

As it turned out, it wasn’t the last time we would see two individuals on the opposite side of the battle lines bridged by such a link. Previously, Rey and Kylo Ren have demonstrated a similar connection, being able to share each other’s company and communicate without actually being next to one another.

Much like Harry-Voldemort, this connection has created the basis of much of their interactions in the last movie, including the two expressing their true emotions towards the other. And while Snoke may have taken credit for this phenomenon, given how easily he was disposed of soon afterward, it would not be too far-fetched to think that there might a deeper meaning to it all. At least that was the case for Harry.
