Happy Ben Solo Day! Ben flying his Grimtaash (inspired by 'The Rise of Kylo Ren' comic book)

Aurebesh Phrase of the day

[bensolosjourney]

Imagine Old Ben hadn’t died on the Death Star . . .

And the Jedi rose again to fight the Empire.

Would they have taken baby Ben from Leia and raised him in the new temple like during the Republic?

Thanks to everyone who joined in on the livestream premiere! And now, the world premiere of Reylo Animated Episode 5: A New Dawn!

With so many elections coming up worldwide it's probably a good time to remind everyone that tumblr once got infested with agents trying to convince everyone not to vote, or not to vote left because the candidates weren't morally pure enough.

Also a reminder that they were better at tumblr than most of us, comrade interloper was great at memeing. Like, the talent!

Anyway don't fall for it. There is no morally pure option.

Some of my Stupid Reylo Head canons

These are just head canons. What Disney / LF does with the GFFA is distinct from what I imagine regarding their IP.

* We are receiving the story via transmission from the gffa. It is being translated for us by protocol droids. Oftentimes, they will substitute words that are common in our language for items in their galaxy. So, it’s the Millennium Falcon. Are there Earth falcons in the gffa? Probably not, but this is the closest translation the droid can come up with.

* Rey’s mom was Alderaanian and Rey’s full name is Tonirey. It’s like calling your kid Brandy.

* Rey never wore a dress that she remembers. Maybe her Mom put her in a dress when she was really small but she’s only worn slacks since she was dropped off at Jakku.

* Leia never intended to send Ben to Luke’s Academy but he accidentally read another senator’s mind and Leia had to get him away from Chandrila until he learned how to manage his powers. She wanted him back. Luke saw how powerful Ben was and expected that he would eventually lead the new temple. Luke & Leia disagreed on this part but she trusted that Luke would do the right thing for her son.

* It wasn’t Luke in TRoS on Ahch-To. This is why he didn’t mention the dyad, why he said that both he and Leia knew she was the granddaughter of Palpatine. Why he looked unusual. It was Palps, doing to Rey what he’d done to Ben, but since  Ahch-To is on a vergence he had the power to create visions instead of just voices.

* Leia, Han and Luke weren’t horrible parents/ uncle but they didn’t realize that Palps was talking to Ben - the greatest Sith manipulator of all time can certainly influence a little boy to believe that his parents didn’t care.

* Luke was also affected by Palp’s manipulations - I believe that Palps created a subtle series of events - like contacting Ben while he was training so Luke sensed the dark around Ben and ending with a full out vision that turned our hero into a hermit.

(In other words, it was Palpatine all along.)

Can you imagine?

What is Tumblr going to look like on December 21, 2019?

May I suggest something silly and fluffy after the Mandalorian’s S finale?

This was supposed to be a dumb comic about how much Ben despises BB8(Adam has that death stare toward BB8 in every interview lmao) but turned into a mega-soft fix-it comic.

We all need some more fluff in this moment I think😘

This is the sequel trilogy poster derived by the AI:

I like the idea of a Star Wars movie with the Title “Star Wars: Between.” (I don’t know if that’s what this poster says but it inspires that thought.)

Between is a place of uncertainty, a place where a decision has to be made, a place where someone’s choices affects them and the people around them.

But between what?

Lots of opportunities.

I like “Between Worlds.”

I’m going to ponder on this until I get a really good title.

Wouldn’t it be unreal if Perrin turned out to be a Rebel sympathizer but is pulling a Scarlet Pimpernel?

I know it’s not likely but it would be a cool twist.

[bensolosjourney]

I only wish Ben were here.

Father, protector.

The dynamic between Han Solo and Ben is so interesting on so many levels, one of which being that it brings up questions about the role of father as protector. One of Han Solo’s major failings, which leads to terrible narrative consequences, is that he does not adequately protect his son.

Though Han loves his child, he fails at protecting Ben; this is because Han fights battles in the physical realm while Ben is vulnerable on the psychic battlefield. Ben is born in a psychic war zone in which dark forces in addition to Snoke (his Force sensitivity opening him up to dark forces of death, violence, and hate throughout the galaxy) battle for his mind.
