It was a really emotional and heartfelt hug from Rey, Finn, and Poe after surviving so much up to Exegol, now overcome with relief that they all made it out, together. Rey and Finn having that emotional and teary embrace as they cherish their reunion, and Poe comforting them at the same time as well to let them know it's all over, they all still have each other.

  
I felt so much catharsis seeing that heartfelt finale for the first time with a trio I had been following since 2015. If the movie had actually ended here, I feel it also would've been perfect as well. Seeing the pure relief and happiness that Rey & her friends are feeling after going through so much from TFA up to TROS, and after winning a war they never thought they'd win, just feels like a perfect moment to cap their journey at.



And I'll forever be thankful for finding this clip on Reddit ages ago. It's always a major challenge finding good, clean clips of moments from the sequel trilogy, especially TROS. This moment I had saved from an old Cantina post 5 years prior, and I'll always be thankful to have this clip saved for myself and to share with fellow TROS fans.
