Spoilers for The Rise of Skywalker ahead!

On Ben Solo‘s death:

Leia to Han: Bring him back. Bring our son back.

Luke to Leia: No one’s ever truly gone.

Kylo/Ben to Rey: You’re not alone.

Rey: Neither are you.

Kylo/ Ben: Rey, wherever you are, you are hard to find.

Rey: You’re hard to get rid of.

*Leia gives up her training*

Luke to Rey: Leia sensed her son’s death at the end of her Jedi path.

Han to Ben: No, Kylo Ren is dead. My son is alive.

Palpatine to Ben: The last Skywalker will FALL like I have before! (oh look, THE FRICKIN’ TITLE COULD HAVE MADE SENSE!!!!)

Ben: *dies*

You know what? If need be, I’ll just pause the movie every time after they kiss...and that will be it. That will be the end for me. Ben and Rey, smiling and happy—In love, finally free, finally at peace, and finally FOUND.

[Star Wars TROS spoilers] Rey gets different force ghosts for different answers at the end of TROS. But seriously, I don’t think the choice is that hard.

**TROS SPOILER WARNING** I saw it and ... 💔💔💔

Well after waiting 2 years, I finally saw The Rise of Skywalker and wow I’m devastated, confused, and angry. The worst thing that they could’ve possibly done they did. They killed Ben Solo Skywalker. I don’t know why screen writers today do this bullshit “bittersweet romance” thing where the two lovers finally have each other, only for one to die when it’s not necessary?!? It’s so cruel. The way the entire ending played out after they killed him, was like the knife they’d stabbed me with was being twisted. I can’t stop crying.

Rey defeated Palpatine, Ben pulled himself out of the pit (lol yes), cradle Rey is his arms lovingly, decided to try to Force heal her (I always had a feeling Ben would bring Rey back to life, because Anakin could never save Padme). Rey is alive again she says “Ben”, caresses him, they kiss, he smiles, REYLO IS CANON, and then shock twist he slumps and then instantly fades away. He’s dead.

LIKE WHAT THE ACTUALLY FUCK IS THAT JJ???? The final Skywalker, the one you’ve been building up as a tragically misunderstood, abuse victim dies sacrificing his life for Rey’s. Han, Luke and Leia all died and hoped that Ben would return to the light. And yeah sure he did, but I would’ve thought that his family would have wanted him to return to the light and LIVE out the rest of his days happily. Doesn’t he deserve that??

There’s so many confusing aspects to this, like A) why did he become “redeemed” then die sacrificing himself just like Vader? I thought that was the problem with the OT and why we have the ST... being that Vader died too soon and didn’t complete the full redemption journey and return to that innocent happy boy he once was and teach his story to others? B) does Rey love Ben? Because the whole movie was framed like she did. But the second he died, I don’t think she called out or even cried???? She goes back to the Resistance and is happy and hugs Finn and Poe. UGH THE “TRIO”. Isn’t she devastated she’s lost her love Ben? And then when she goes back to Tatooine, she sees Force ghost Leia and Luke but no Ben??!???!? A final slap in the face. C) since Ben and Rey were a “Dyad” and were one through the Force, I feel like they should’ve been able to both easily live??? Why bother making them Dyad if it ain’t going to serve the story at all? Is it supposed to just be a cop out and explain the Force Bonds? It’s all so infuriating.

They only reason I can think of why they’d kill Ben Solo is because they wanted to close the loophole of the “Skywalkers” so that they didn’t fuck anything up with the Force’s balance again. But even then that’s seems like a very thin idea, because Rey still exists and she’s a “Palpatine” and is uber powerful? How exactly was the Force finally brought into balance through this movie? Palpatine was defeated and the Palpatine bloodline/legacy “redeemed”? It doesn’t make much sense. GAH I would’ve preferred both Ben and Rey die, since their equals, why would one live and not the other?

GAH I would’ve preferred both Ben and Rey die, since their equals, why would one live and not the other?

To be honest, I was enjoying the film for the first half. It opened with Kylo/Ben so that’s a great. And the Force Bond scenes with Kylo/Ben and Rey screaaaaamed Reylo love. But so many of the leaks were right, it was becoming quite comical. And looking back of the film now it was all very clunky and had a lot of convoluted stuff in there that was so illogical and didn’t really serve a strong purpose to the narrative or any character development. When the watery Death Star scene went down, it seemed like (trope wise) that this would be the moment the Reylo kiss happens, but the dialogue wasn’t right it wasn’t angsty. And I thought, “oh no Reylo is not happening”. But then Bendemption happened and I was okay again. And by the time Rey went to confront Palpatine, I’d realised Ben really hasn’t been given enough screen time in this film, he wasn’t going to be the “hero” in this finally showdown, this was very firmly Rey’s story/saga. Which seemed odd, because they’re equals “dual protagonists”??! As Rey defeated Palpatine I was confused as to what the hell, because there was an obvious emphasis on all the Force ghosts telling HER alone to “Rise”, including Anakin. This was deeeply concerning because what about his own grandson Ben Solo??? At this point I didn’t know what was going to happen with Ben. But then like I said before he pulled himself out of the “pit”, very romantically came back for her and saved her and then just D I E D like it was nothing. I repeat W T F.

Now here’s all the other stuff I didn’t like about the film: - There was zero character development, except for Ben finally turning to the light and then he DIED - SNOKE WAS A PALPATINE CLONE???????? WTF JJ ARE YOU SMOKING CRACK? This was an early red flag that I should have heeded. I feel like all the fanboys finally feel satisfied with knowing Snoke’s backstory. - Where the fuck was Rose? Why didn’t she say like 3 words and get .5 screen time? that was some bulllllllllsshit. Why was she introduced in TLJ just to be sidelined? - Why the FUCK did they bother to make Finn Force sensitive? They hinted at it, and he never even got to tell anyone. It didn’t serve the story at all?!?!? Such a waste of time - Poe got to have a romantic happy ending with Zorri, while Reylo did not. - The C-P30 memory wipe had no lasting consequences, R2-D2 restored him in like 2 hrs? This screentime could’ve been used for Ben. All of Kijimi could’ve been scrapped to be honest. - The Knights of Ren were extremely useless, you could’ve swapped them for stormtroopers and it wouldn’t have made a different. Very disappointing. - Jannah was also useless, this screentime and scripttime could’ve been used for Rose. Her stormtroopers rebellion story was so heavy handed and terribly done. - Same goes for Dominic’s character, why did he exist? - Lando being back was also under-utilised, he had history with Ben why didn’t they use that? - Sooo many of the terrible leaks were true: the necklace grab, Luke/Leia training, Hux being a mole which was confusing and then he just died, Rey thinking she killed Chewie, the Sith dagger and C-3PO blah blah, Ben falling into “a pit” lol, the film finishing with Rey going to Tattooine and saying “I’m Rey, Rey Skywalker.” As soon as I saw Tatooine, I wanted to vomit because I knew that horrible horrible line was coming. - It wasn’t explained as to why Kylo remade his mask - Ben and Rey didn’t say I love you. And tbh, it’s probably good then didn’t since JJ killed Ben. - The finally “war” was very underwhelming and took place on one star destroyer - I was really hoping for some awesome Force Bond “world between worlds” jumping location stuff, and/or awesome new Reylo powers (but it was just healing)... so this was underwhelming. - I don’t know why Ben didn’t kill Palpatine instantly, opening scene? - They really emphasised babies and children on Pasaana with Rey, so I thought this was obvious foreshadowed of her and Ben’s future.... but no. - Pyrde wasn’t that interesting of a character, well acted but one-dimensional. - I really really hated Rey being a Palpatine. It makes no sense? I loved her being a no body and getting her powers from herself. What about her father, Palpatine’s son?? Did Palpatine try to get his son to kill him as well??? It’s so illogical. Also if everyone has to be if legacy blood, does this mean that Finn is a Konobi?! HAHAHA. I also hate how they added the fact that Leia and Luke “knew” she was a Palps all along. BAHAHAHAHA. Terrible. - Palptine wanted Rey to kill him, so he could live through her as a vessel. But then he Palpatine took Rey’s and Ben’s life essence, but they didn’t die? But he was back to his 100%. Then Rey killed Palps with the power of “all the Jedi”, and somehow Palpatine died? I thought he was going to go into her if she killed him? Or is the clause that she has to be angry and kill him with hatred? Boyyyyyyyyyy it’s so stupid. I can’t even.

Here’s the stuff I did like: - The Reylo kiss and Ben’s smile. - Ben offering his hand to Rey again, and all their Force Bonds of them trying to one-up each other with how well they know each other’s fears etc. - Him crushing the Sith wayfinding was hawwwwt. He was like if you’re going there, you’re gonna have to go with me. (Also leaves open a plothole of how the fuck did Ben navigate his way there in the finale) - Rey not killing the snake but healing it, yeah it was really odd but I don’t like how previous Jedi always slaughter animals so this was a plus for me. - Ben Solo in his “redeemed” outfit, he looked soo fine, and it reminded me of Han too which was sweet. - Leia’s death being the prompt to finally turning Ben back to the light. Finally a mother she did something right, looool. - I thought it was weird for Star Wars, but I did like Han being back as a memory, to talk with Ben. And the “Dad....” “I know” killed me. I knew they needed to resolve the one evil deed Ben performed, so this worked fine. - I loved Rey mediating with the rocks at the start of the film, and I loved her and Ben’s prequelsque Force jumping. - I loved that Jodie Comer was Rey’s mum!!!!! (I love Jodie) - I did like how the Luke’s water sunken X-wing from TLJ was used in this film, it was predictable but satisfying somehow. - There was so much FinnPoe tension through the film like Poe was jealous of Rey, it was hilarious. - I liked the queer kiss, even though it wasn’t much.

So there that’s everything I needed to say. I would’ve been sad and confused if Reylo didn’t happen, (because they’d set it up for 2 films), but I’m devastated that they killed Ben. Bendemption isn’t truely complete if he doesn’t get to live. I know he means so much to people, people who connected with him/who faced similar trauma as him. I know they’ll be a devastated as I am and that is what makes it so much worst. I saw someone say on Twitter a few weeks ago that it’s be horrible for Ben to die, who had suffered so much only for Rey to take the name of “Skywalker”, basically stealing his identity.

And yeah that’s exactly what happened. Ben deserved better, the fans deserved better, and the Reylo’s deserved better. 💔💔💔💔💔💔 In a few hours I’m seeing it again with my family this time, and I really don’t want want to rewatch it.... isn’t that horrible.

The Rise of Sheev Jr.

SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE! #TheRiseOfSkywalker #TheRiseOfSkywalkerSpoilers

[ellamariehemsworth]

RISE OF SKYWALKER SPOILERS/VENT.

Ok so we can all agree that certain characters deserved better. I.E. Ben and Rose. Ben's arch mirrored his Grandfather to some degree, even helping the one person he loved most in the galaxy fight Palpatine. Now, people are saying that we should write Disney and demand that Ben be brought back. I disagree. Ben died a heroic death. And he was with the one he loved. In the end, that was the best way for him to go. If you really think that you could write a better ending, great. That's why we have fanfiction and roleplays. Now onto Rose, she was a badass in all the scenes that she was in. She fought her hardest and I was saddened to hear that the writers blamed the late Carrie Fisher for sidling Kelly Marie Tran. (I do believe that Carrie would have made a huge stink about it if that is the case.) Rose is an awesome character who sadly deserved a better change to expand her character. Now, onto Palpatine and his role here. Don't get me wrong, The Emperor is a great villian. Chilling. But his game is always the same. Destroy the Rebellion and crush the Jedi by taking the last one and attempting to get them to turn to the dark side. It feels played out. Onto THAT SCENE with Ben and his Dad. I felt bad for Ben. You could tell that he was feeling the loss of his mother unlike the losses of his Dad and Uncle. He was truly hurting and I think that he felt like he was a failure and he wouldn't see his mother again. His memory of his Dad brought him back and made him rethink everything that he did. He was the Last Skywalker. And the burden of all that made it more real when he uttered "Dad." Again, mirroring his Uncle calling Vader "Father." Now onto that kiss. Not the Reylo one, although I will be talking about that, the other one. The one that is causing such a stir that it has been edited out in some countries. It is 2020 people. People are free to love who ever they want so long as the other person is of age and willing. It's as if people forget that sci-fi is supposed to bring us a future that we can hope for. (Not including Terminator.) Now onto the Reylo Kiss. It was true love . much like Han and Leia's. Now can we get onto everyone bitching about the trilogy is about Rey saving every body..? Did you all forget who rescued Luke and Han at least twice in the original one? LEIA DID. It was LEIA who went back to Bespin to get Luke. It was Leia who rallied the troops on Hoth. It was Leia who shot open a garabage shute when they were being shot at on the 1 st Death Star. In the legend universe, it's Leia who saves her brother from Palpatine after Luke turns to the dark side. It's Leia who saves her son in the end. Star Wars has always been about strong women. It didn't just start with Rey.

The last smile.

I so sad for the finale of this trilogy. But I enjoyed this shipment as long as it lasted.

I love all of the cheesy ‘Christine’ moments in TROS, when Rey slowly turns around as she senes Kylo/Ben. Made an edit with the appropriate music (the opening bars of Wishing you were somehow here again) #reylo #TheRiseofSkywalkerspoilers

[spaceacekid]

So we're not gonna talk about the fact that Lando saved the galaxy twice and doesn't get credit for it?

Ok then

The Rise of Skywalker Uncut.

Based on theories about Happy Reylo and reversed shots in TRoS. This happened, right? 

[maythegeekbewithyou]

STARWARS SPOILERS AHEAD

Honestly, I‘m happy that they did not show Ben’s Force ghost at the end of The Rise of Skywalker. That way, there’s a backdoor open to bring him back - a ghost would have been a definite ending. (Still better than Rey being okay about it in a second, but one can always hope).

World between worlds, it is!
