I think that it shouldn't have been used until the end and it would have had more impact.

Couple of changes

- Instead of healing the Rancor she should have talked it into moving with the Force. If the Force surrounds all things then Rey should have been able to Jedi Mind trick the Rancor too - would have been cool since we've never seen it used like that before

- During the Rey / Kylo fight I don't think Rey needs to stab him and heal him. They can probably just have Kylo and Rey both collapse and stop fighting when they feel Leia's force disturbance

Then when it's used at the end of the movie it feels like it was something they only realized could be done now that Palpatine had introduced it and healed himself.

Opposed to something that all the other Jedi's had just decided wasn't important to use prior to this movie.



Agree that they still should have had a couple that failed to pull up and should have crashed into ground.
The healing of the Rancor was for the important information "I gave a bit of my lifeforce to heal" (Or whatever she said) It forshadows that you can't just go around bringing people back to life. The Healing takes the lifeforce of the person. This makes the end scene make sense.

Without healing Kylo how would he have known it was possible to heal? Would have been a WAY bigger stretch and cringe worthy if he magically just did it out of nowhere. The emperor sucking their life to heal himself isn't quiet the same/tip off that Jedi's can heal people.

It was overdone in a way, but I think it's better then the jumps that 'Oh I could heal and bring someone back all along, but also die"
