#Most of Kylo in the first movie to me spoke as 'entitled rich boy in his Rebellious Teen Phase' but there's probably more to it?

I'm on a Star Wars kick right now, so what are your thought on an au with Rey!Selene and Kylo Ren!Dirthamen. Snoke can be either Mythal or Falon'Din. Or maybe Falon'Din is Hux?
I still haven’t seen The Last Jedi, so I don’t really know enough about most of these characters to make that call I think. Star Wars has been on my blacklist since it dropped so I haven’t seen anything even tangentially related to it in months.
Based on ep 7 I do like Reys backstory for Selene though? Left abandoned on a desert planet to scavenge and explore and try to survive on her own would be pretty fitting to her usual stories.
I...don’t like Dirthamen for Kylo Ren <_<.
No hate or offense to anyone who likes the character (I’ve literally only seen 50% of the movies he’s been in, please don’t send me a list of parallels or something if they exist), I’m not like ‘god I hate that guy’ or anything, but I don’t like the idea of him and Rey together (If they get together in ep 8 please, please don’t tell me, let me discover the movie on my own so I can have my own genuine reaction to everything in context) and if anything I am holding a bit of a grudge against him because he fucking killed Han Solo and I liked Han Solo dammit.
I have literally no opinion on Snoke? He seems like an ass by virtue of anyone with power in the Empire is an ass, but I’ve heard in the extra info/universe there’s more to it (again, don’t tell me, please let me learn and experience the movie on my own) . By that same virtue, I’d imagine any of the Evanuris would be a fitting Snoke, because I don’t really have much information about him.
#loekas#replies#i mean don't get me wrong i think its pretty obvious that I l o v e extracting information from character tidbits#but I don't have any canon ones for Kylo or Snoke#My information on those characters is minimal at best#Most of Kylo in the first movie to me spoke as 'entitled rich boy in his Rebellious Teen Phase' but there's probably more to it?#I dunno#I don't ship him and Rey#I think the things he seems to have rejected are the things she seeks out most#Family and Tradition and a place to call home#arguably even just the ability to travel? 'i never knew there was this much green' etc#Where Rey grew up alone hoping for her family to even just remember her#Kylo seems to have been like 'well fuck all of you im going to do my OWN thing because none of you understand'#and again this is JUST going by ep 7 because I haven't seen ep 8 yet#please don't send me spoilers#i dont care if in ep 8 they're like 'well he killed Han to save a planet of orphans and puppies!'#that's not information i've been given and if it exists i want to experience it for myself

okay, kind of late, but let’s get through this. good day! I woke up around 9 or so and again couldn't fall back asleep 🤷🏻♀️ so I roped my sister into going to get bagels with me. when we arrived at the store, the line was from the counter all the way back to the door, a good 20 feet or so. apparently a lot of people wanted bagels. but I waited, got a dozen bagels plus a prepared one for my brother, and two egg sandwiches for my sister and I, which of course ended up costing a lot of money but oh well. Came home and ate, then waited a little bit to let my stomach settle before getting on the treadmill. I had just reached the half hour mark when my brother came back from the airport with my cousins, so at that point I stopped and went to catch up with them and hang for a bit, which was nice. Around 3 I went to my friends house, and from there we went to the movie theatre to watch The Last Jedi, and oh boy do I have feelings!! First of all, I went into this movie with no expectations at all, because I’m not terribly invested in the Star Wars fandom, I don’t have any hardcore theories about who Rey’s parents are that I needed validated or anything like that. and from that point of view, I thought it was SUCH a good movie, ohmygoodness, like there were so many amazing parts and LEIA agh today being the one year anniversary of Carrie’s death and seeing her alive and on screen and being as beautiful and bad ass as ever......it was so sad but seeing her made me happy. I liked how much they used her daughter in the film as well, and I hope her character sticks around. but yeah, DUDE. I probably should've rewatched TFA prior to seeing this because I don't remember it all that much, but I followed it well enough. first of all, I’m completely disgusted by any Reylo shippers. I’m sorry but I just fucking hate Kylo Ren and that’s all I could think the entire time he was on screen. this murdering whiny pissbaby is supposed to get us to feel sorry for him because he’s so *conflicted* like give me a fucking break, he’s an entitled piece of shit and he needs to be taken down, and just like...I don’t understand how anyone can claim to like Rey and ship her with him. he’s fucking awful to her and using classic abuser manipulative tactics like “you're nothing, except to me” which is basically “nobody else will you, only I will” which is literally the hallmark statement of domestic abusers. so I obviously had a lot of feelings there. but there were just so many FUCK YEAH moments that I absolutely LOVED. When Leia used the force to straight up propel her through space and back onto the ship was so fucking badass, I loved every second of it, because fuck yeah she can use the force and be a fucking queen while doing it. the first scene with Rose’s sister being an absolute fucking BAMF and destroying that huge ship was absolutely fucking fantastic, I loved her so damn much even in just that one scene. and ROSE. my girl. I loved her so much. she was perfect and adorable and a fighter to the very end, just such a great character. I love Rey, like so much, but I felt like most of her stuff with Luke wasn’t as great as the other stuff with the rebels, but her coming in at the end to save their asses was fantastic. I have to say though, by far my favorite scene was when Rose and Finn (I’ll get to him, I fucking love Finn) are escaping from the super rich planet with the weird horse like creatures in the stalls, and the slave children are there. Now, I've seen some criticism that it’s totally bullshit that Finn would not show any reaction to the child slaves, and I completely agree with that and think it would’ve definitely made the scene even better. but like, the moment with the little boy in the cage, about to press the button to alert that something was wrong, but then he stops when he sees the symbol of the resistance, because somewhere inside him, this poor boy who’s been treated as a slave his whole life, who’s only ever known this existence, he sees the rebel symbol and he believes. He doesn’t know what’s out there, what’s going on in the space battles, all he knows is the here and now and the life he has, but he sees that one sign of hope that maybe, just maybe, something could change, there are people trying to help, and just for a moment, he has the power to make a difference in that. and this precious little boy who’s probably been trained to do what he’s told no matter what, who might face punishment for not doing so, he sees that symbol and he believes. he believes he can have a better life, and you can see his feeling of triumph as Finn and Rose escape, knowing that he played even a small part in that. I know I just totally overanalyzed a very small scene, but that’s honestly what I took from it, and I mean I love children, I love seeing them fight for what they think is right, no matter how big they are. and I loved the end scene of the little boy sweeping with the resistance symbol on his hand, because he knows, he knows the rebels are out there and they are going to come back and save him from the miserable life he’s only ever known, and that honestly spoke volumes to me. but, anyway. I LOVE ROSE. she was perfect and amazing. and FINN. oh, Finn. what a heart of gold he has. I loved how both Finn and Rey were constantly asking about each other and trying to figure out if the other was safe, and I mean, really how could anyone not ship them, especially over Kyfail Ren. I also of course loved Poe, and of course his interactions with Leia were great. Leia was EVERYTHING. my general. how can we proceed without you? I know they’ll find a way. but I love how cocky and brash Poe is, and how he’ll do whatever it takes to accomplish what he thinks is right. I just love that sense of justice so much. Anyway, I think that’s enough commentary. After the movie we decided to get dinner at the diner across the street. Diners are, for the most part, a new york phenomenon that are kind of hard to explain anywhere else, but basically they’re awesome and you can order literally anything you could possibly want (just don’t get their italian food, all of the Long Island diners are owned by Greek families and their italian food is not good). In true diner fashion, I ordered matzoh ball soup and a belgian waffle because I mean, that’s a classic diner meal. We ended up getting into a fairly intense but not at all heated (intense as in diving deep into the issues) conversation about different topics in America right now, such as gun control and health care, and some of the people with us were this couple from the UK that go to the church my friends go to, so it was super interesting to hear their perspective on these things, so we spent a while sitting there and just talking about that. Eventually we did leave and I drove home, my family was halfway participating in some sort of card based guessing game, which was mildly entertaining, but I mostly just chilled for the rest of the night before getting ready for bed. Tomorrow I get to see my baby nephew for the first time since he was like 2 weeks old and he just turned 5 months old today so I’m super excited to see that. my family is possibly gonna go to the city, so we may meet them there for dinner later, we’ll see. I’m tired now so I’m gonna go to bed. Goodnight loves. Be well.
