* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: On a ''grand'' scale; not only would killing a Sith out of hatred cause a fall to the Dark Side, as it nearly happened to Luke, but Rey--who finds herself in an identical situation of killing Palpatine--is explicitly told that, if she kills Palpatine, driven by fear and rage, she will be possessed by his spirit and countless Sith Dark Jedi--cementing his resurrection. However this ends up [[NiceJobFixingItVillain blowing back in Palpatine's face]] (''literally'') because it allows Rey to realize what killing Palpatine means for both of them and she manages to stay her hand until she can summon the power of the light side to drive back Palpatine's own attack towards her (meaning she did not strike him down in anger) and use it against him to finally end him once and for all.

* SymbolicWeaponDiscarding: The battle between Kylo Ren and Rey in the wreckage of the Death Star ends with both of them sensing Leia's death and Rey running Kylo through with his own lightsaber, then Force healing him before leaving. In a moment [[CallBack that comes full circle]] from ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', Kylo has a crisis of conscience which appears as him being visited by Han Solo. They talk, "Han" appears to forgive Kylo for his past actions and tells him to come home, and Kylo hurls his lightsaber into the ocean, finally rejecting his past and becoming Ben Solo again.
