10 Star Wars Moments Deeper Than You Think
1. Luke & Leia's Reunion - The Last Jedi
One of The Last Jedi's most affecting moments sees Luke and Leia finally reunited near the end of the movie, after having spent so many years apart.
When Leia tells Luke that she's given up hope on saving her son Ben Solo/Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), that she believes he's "gone," Luke replies with the memorable line, "No one's ever really gone," before placing the late Han's dice in her hands.
As powerful as the line is, it was recently imbued with even greater meaning courtesy of Beth Revis' brand new canon novel, The Princess and the Scoundrel.
The novel recounts Han and Leia's wedding on Endor, which is officiated by none other than Luke himself. During the ceremony he says, "Those we love are never truly gone," a distinctly similar phrase to his parting words to Leia in The Last Jedi.
Canonically, Luke is making a callback to Han and Leia's wedding with these final words, which gains even more power as he then passes Han's dice to her.
