I also liked his essentially channeling Han Solo, calling Kylo Ren "kid" in a voice not quite his own. (I don't mean "channeling" literally, but I think he was quoting and imitating Han; ooof.)
That just about made me sob in the theatre (well, at that point I was just sobbing anyway....I have cried through the last 20-30 minutes 3 for 3 times so far) it was SO Han.
I thought Yoda's "failure" bit was also so Tolkien! when JRRT points out that Frodo fails at the last, and the one who gets the big "heroic" action of throwing the Ring into the fire (sorta) is the rejected Gollum. I just loved that both Rogue One and this film were so into the "the message got out, we have hope"/"we're here, we can save what we love and go on" themes. It feels like medicine sort of right now.
