Quote #7

FINN: He took her! Did you see that? He took her. She's gone!

HAN: Yeah, yeah, I know...

This is a little odd: it may actually be that Han is coming of age. He's in his 70s, and he's still pretty much running away from his mistakes. By acknowledging that his son has taken Rey away, he's acknowledging that he can't just ignore the rift between them anymore. He has to pay the piper for being a not-great father.

Quote #8

KYLO REN: We're not done yet.

REY: You're a monster!

KYLO REN: It's just us now. Han Solo can't save you.

It all comes back to facing your demons—the guy in the scary mask who makes you wet your pants with fear. Look that evil dude right in the eye and get ready for a fight. We all have to face him sometime, and when we do, we're just a little bit stronger for it.

Quote #9

KYLO REN: That lightsaber. It belongs to me!

FINN: Come get it.

The last step to coming of age is standing on your own, alone. Finn manages to do quite well with the moment, even though the lightsaber isn't his, either.
