Twice the movie fails to commit to its stakes with its side characters. There and with C3P0 — oh no his memory is erased for forever, but it’s all played for laughs and he gets his memory back like fifteen mins later anyways. It was pretty obvious they weren’t going to leave their ultimate heroine dead by the time we get there.
Overall,
Mixed feelings.

The 2nd transport was clearly visible and no one thought Chewie or the KoR were gonna die that way.
And does anyone really care if 3PO’s memories are wiped permanently? It was played for laughs. Not high stakes.
I can’t imagine how anyone could link those two events with Rey, who we also knew wasn’t going to die.
