I feel like there's a huge theme in this movie that gets overlooked. It was a movie showcasing that sometimes bold heroics fail in the face of overwhelming odds, that sometimes making the safer, more logical choices will net the best possible outcome.

Rose and Finn went out with their bold heroics, and essentially accomplished nothing the entire film other than putting themselves in terrible danger.

Poe, who the movie baited you into rooting for, was flying about with his bold heroics sack hanging free, and nearly put an early end to the trilogy.

Rey was begging Luke to come whipping out with some bold heroics, and he straight up told her: You think I'm just going to waltz out there with a laser sword and save the day? Haha, fuck no. This is bigger than that.

Rey didn't listen, and set off on her own with her own little brand of bold heroics, and almost got herself killed by Snoke, and had to be rescued by someone who has been much more calculating and manipulative throughout the whole ordeal.

The only reason the Resistance survives is because the ones who chose to throw bravado by the wayside were so deliberate in their choices, and their sacrifices.
