have made the argument that General Leia's reaction to Han Solo's death was a dropped ball. Why, they ask, did she bypass her old friend Chewbacca and instead comfort Rey, a young woman who was just a stranger to her? Explanations abound, both in-world and meta, but if this is a mistake, it's a beautiful one.

But per usual, Leia gets the last word.
