Different from the previous episode, this one focuses on a beautiful and tender moment between Ben and Rey, after Ben uses the Force to revive her at the cost of his own life.

Williams was nominated for his 52nd Academy Award for Best Original Score becoming the second-most nominated person in history behind Walt Disney. He was also nominated for a BAFTA.
