How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.
Quote #1
REY: The Jedi were real?
HAN: I used to wonder that myself. Thought it was a bunch of mumbo-jumbo—magical power holding together good, evil, the dark side, and the light. Crazy thing is, it's true. The Force, the Jedi, all of it. It's all true.
This is a big deal because Han was always the doubting Thomas. He never actually said that he believed in the Force, even when he saw what Luke and Vader could do with it. Even he seems to have gotten with the program.

MAZ: If you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people.
This is a subtle way of saying that everyone is connected, that souls share common links through shared experiences. In other words, that the Force is always there.
Quote #3
MAZ: Whomever you're waiting for on Jakku, they're never coming back. But...there's someone who still could.
REY: Luke.
MAZ: The belonging you seek is not behind you. It is ahead. I am no Jedi, but I know the Force. It moves through and surrounds every living thing. Close your eyes. Feel it. The light. It's always been there. It will guide you. The saber. Take it.
There's something very comforting about that, something similar to what many religious people feel: a sense of warmth and belonging, a light to show the way. Rey is afraid of it because it will lead her into danger…but also that it's taking her in a direction that she's not sure she wants to go.
