And now we get this:

AND THIS:

AND THIS:

AND THIS:

REYLO IS REAL.

We don’t know how far they can go, we don’t know if there can truly be a happy ending for them except in our hearts, we don't know if there willl even be a kiss with tongue, but they’ve gotten this far and Reylos were right. We were right. About everything. And Reylo is canon, bitches.

Bless us, everyone. Thanksgiving came early this year. 🙏 😭

Rey and Kylo are going to take the term 'power couple' to a next level.

[suaviter]

So this must be near the end of the film, right??? The bruise on her forehead is there and stuff's looking intense holy shit

My first thought was that she was reaching for someone who's falling or being blown away (because presumably she's on a ship in space that's been heavily damaged???) á la this ↓

But then I notice the sparks falling behind her and I just…

You see, ever since the trailer dropped I've been wanting to see Rey's raw powah™ manifesting in a truly, devastatingly frightening way (sorta like Jean Grey's dark phoenix powers?).

Maybe this is that kind of scene??? Maybe this is where Rey realizes that Luke's fear of her powers was sort of justified??? That she may indeed be a monster and a threat??? Maybe right after this moment, when Rey is shook and full of self-doubt Kylo comes to her and offers his hand??? Tells her that he's not afraid of her????

Jfc guys, my mind is reeling holy hell

Why Rey is a Palpatine

SPOILER WARNING! Some of these reflections are based on possible spoilers I have read and are also a good shot at speculation. 

I think there are many elements that make this theory interesting, not only for the storyline but for the future of the Sequel Trilogy, and why it should end with episode IX, so here it goes : After searching the internet for two years, reading and analyzing very different types of theories, speculations and reddit stuff, I am coming to the conclusion that Rey comes from the Palpatine line. She would then be his grand-daughter and her parents are going to come from the dark side, I place my bet on stormtroopers. 

1) On a storyboard level, you have to look macro at the whole three trilogies. They is going to be a mirror effect.

The PT was about a light Skywalker falling to the Dark Side because of love, and because of the manipulations of a Palpatine.

The ST is about a dark Skywalker being redeemed to the Light thanks to the love of a Palpatine. (by love, i mean not necessarily romantic)

Together in the PT : they introduce mayhem to the galaxy

Together in the ST : they restore peace in the galaxy (final episode)

Why do I think this? It was Lucas’s first idea that the ST should be a mirror of the PT, so maybe the kept the general idea. It also ties the three trilogies together in an interesting fashion. 

2) We then have mirroring effects and parallels of ST with the PT/ Kylo and Rey. Let’s pay attention to symbolism. 

Kylo Ren/Ben Solo, the Skywalker of the trilogy. Comes from the Light, falls to the Dark Side. He is first introduced with a very Darth Vaderesque look. He starts where Vader finishes : brutal, murderous, and he wears a mask that also distorts his voice. This is the reverse of Anakin which we see first as an innocent child, who is a slave, but is Light. 

Rey, the Palpatine of the trilogy, comes from Darkness but starts as a reverse of Sheev : an innocent and beautiful person. She is the Light. She wears a whitish costume when she is first introduced. 

Anakin Skywalker and Sheev Palpatine are both the strongest force wielders in the PT. Kylo Ren and Rey are the strongest RAW powah™ in the ST. (Even Luke is scared shitless.)

They are set as equals, incarnations of two opposite principles (ying/yang)

3)  They will meet in the middle. 

In order to restore peace, they necessarily need to meet in the middle, as they are set as opponents in the beginning. This is why I think they share so much : loneliness, a feeling of longing, a feeling a abandonment, a sense that they are looking for their own destiny. Both need each other in order to find themselves but the other will also trigger their own opposite side: 

Rey could go further down the dark side giving in to anger, her sense of abandonment but also passion. Passion can be a very destructive feeling. We already see her with anger in TFA when she beats Kylo. That will be full fledged in TLJ. Hate/Passion go together...

Kylo can go towards his light side giving in to his compassion for her. Kylo is said to be the incarnation of both principles, and his light side bubbles up all the time. He has a soft spot for Rey, and offers to teach her. 

This leads me to better understand how and why they have to become grayish. 

4) Rey in spanish means KING (come on, is that totally casual?) It’s more understandable if we see she is the heir to the throne of the Empire. (Princess rey *cough* prince Kylo *cough*)

If indeed Rey turns out to be a Palpatine, I am pretty sure that the trilogy will end on their union, whatever that is (romantic, or not), and restore peace in the galaxy, going beyond Light and Darkness. This is why Reylo is so important in the end. It doesn’t matter if it’s romantic or not. It’s their union and their symbolic importance for the galaxy that matters. 

Episode 7 : Ennemies

Episode 8 : They meet in the middle. Darkness rises and light to meet it.

Episode 9 : Friends (lovers, friends, whatever, but unified for the greater good!) Consolidation of Grey. 

(If they do take the trilogy on a romantic level it’s going to be a heck of a soap opera!!)

And Finally 

5) Sheev Palpatine thought Jakku was a special place. He even built a laboratory there in the Aftermath series. And, of course, who shows up specifically on THIS planet? 

What do you think? 

[lorerunner]

No Lore! Don't do that to yourself! I was asking LORK to eat the red skittles!

Well dat stupid humie git couldn't 'andle da raw speed o' moi skittles powah! Now dat I gots dis all eaten up, ah feels like ah could do anyfin! Da world's on slow mo ta me now! Toim ta show dat stupid da Flash what real speed looks loik!

[starwarsconnectionarchive-blog]

In today’s episode we discuss the second TLJ behind the scenes reel. We know we’re not the only ones who weren’t impressed by its total lack of Kylo Ren awesomeness.

The Kylo-lessness of the BTS2 reel made for some salt-fueled speculation in today’s installment:

What could Luke have said to Rey that would make her angry enough to beat him with her stick? 

Was it an ill-timed yo mama diss something pertaining to her family/origins? Could it have something to do with one nefarious nephew? 🤔

Are the scenes below all connected?

Does it mean that RUKE is confirmed Luke is withholding Force knowledge from Rey, making her resentment towards him all the greater? (Spoiler alert: probably, duh.) 

If so, Luke is a hot mess of a teacher. Luckily we know someone who is available to tutor Rey. 

A question for Poe:   

We  speculate as to what would earn Poe Dameron 27 slaps.

We share thoughts on the “ReyPoe confirmed” talk that popped up after a screenshot of the actors laughing between takes made the rounds. 

In other news, haters be hatin’: Lee and Willow make no secret of the fact that they don’t care for ReyPoe one bit - but since they are not ding dongs, they ship and let ship. You hear that, Anne?  

Meanwhile, LF must have sensed a disturbance in the Force, because they have since released an amaaaazing and incredible behind the scenes training featurette in which Adam Driver actually speaks. 🙌

Still no scenes of Kylo and Rey together, though we keep hearing their raw powah, oh so thin boundaries and powerful connection are at the heart of the movie. Now what can that mean??

Today’s episode features art by the lovely and talented @ksart-things 😍😍😍

Personally I think we would all die if we see a shirtless Kylo ren in the last Jedi. Would it be wrong if we all try to get a pic of that haha. I'm excited to see reylo scenes and see how they go from wanting to fight to having a convo not involving light sabers. Snarky sarcastic comments will make me happy. If rey sees how Ben turned into Kylo ren I have a feeeling it will be heartbreaking

Hey nonnikins!

Sorry for the late reply, I was making and eating dinner with the hubby for I am a domestic goddess™.

Regarding shirtless Kylo: While I will certainly not be unhappy with a shirtless Kylo scene, I kind of hope they don’t do it unless it’s important for character growth or relevant to the plot. One of my pet peeves in film is the gratuitous shower scene which serves no purpose but to show us that the guy (or girl, or enby) has a slammin’ bod.

Like, we all know it’s really fanservice anyway, but I like for it to at least be a little classy and a little relevant. If, for example, he were dressing wounds that were given to him by one of the other characters, and it showcased some vulnerability, that might be a good way to go. I mean, I won’t complain if we do get a more gratuitous scene, because Adam Driver is gorgeous. But from a storytelling perspective, I personally prefer if nudity or partial nudity is actually relevant to the film and not solely for the sake of a thirsty audience.

“Would it be wrong if we all try to get a pic of that haha”. This is actually an interesting question. Considering Adam is an actor, and he consents to showing himself on film in varying degrees of undress (like in the TV show Girls), then I’d say it’s okay for fans to take screenshots of it. The same goes for modeling photos. However, if it were a photo taken by paparazzi without Adam’s consent, I think it would be wrong for fans to circulate or seek to obtain a copy of said photo. Unless the actor (Adam in this scenario) came out and said they were okay with it, I think photos of a revealing nature taken without consent should be respectfully left alone. It’s like the difference between your girlfriend sending you a raunchy picture, and you taking one while she’s sleeping. Just because she said okay to one does not mean carte blanche to the other.

I’m excited to see Reylo, too. And not even necessarily in a romantic sense. I love these two characters, and I think they have an interesting dynamic. Kylo is clearly fascinated by Rey, and this whole “raw powah” thing is going to make for some interesting parallels.

I absolutely agree that if Rey gets any flashbacks of Ben Solo, they will be sad. It’s obviously part of selling the redemption story to the audience. If the hero sympathizes with him, so will we.

Much love,Millie x

[skywalkerapologist]

Driver's quote from the EW article on Rey and Kylo: “I think that there is something familiar there, as well as something to be feared, or something…that he can’t quite place.” That sure sounds like they're related to me.

I was all 👀 👀👀at that too, but it could also be that they share the same RAW POWAH or some BS like that.

TLJ SPOILERS (my review!!)

.

.

.

OK SO I JUST WATCHED IT AND WOOOOW

1. REY AND BEN. yeah that's all. It's says enough on its own lmao

2. That uhhh... Milk scene.... Was the weirdest shit I've ever seen lmao

3. THE HUT SCENE!!! I just... It was so beautiful, and how he took off his glove, which was just so telling of... Well, him being himself, him being vulnerable. He wasn't hiding behind a mask to Rey, no, he was being himself, and that's just so beautiful

4. Also lmao at Rey being like PUT SOME CLOTHES ON and Ben just straight up ignores her lmao

5. Luke was perfect. And well... The way he went, it was just so fitting tbh. Well done

6. OK but at that part where Luke dusts his shoulder after getting blasted at the whole goddamn cinema started clapping like honestly I suddenly love my people lmao

7. They did this again when it was revealed Luke was actually just sitting on a rock lmao and yes same tbh

8. I?? Love?? Amilyn Holdo?? So?? Much??? Honestly I was so sad when... You know...

9. Poe got character development and I'm so happy lol

10. Finn and Rose. Again no words needed. Perfection

11. Shout-out to Paige Tico for making me attached to her in like the first 5 minutes lmao

12. Rose

13. That scene where Poe hugs BB8 like??? So beautiful

14. Honestly DJ I trusted you (almost)

15. BB8

16. OK but that scene where Leia just straight up majestically floats through space like an actual goddamn princess lmao like honestly that's so Leia

17. THE PRAETORIAN GUARD FIGHT

18. Snoke's death should be in those "Oddly Satisfying" videos like honestly I never knew such sadistic glee till his pieces scattered lmao

19. OK but Snoke's death being so anticlimactic was honestly just... Really poetic. It showed that no matter how strong you are, how much control you think you have, you don't. I mean I could probably phrase this better but it's late and my thoughts are scrambled lol

20. Again I love how Rey and Ben were, but what I lived the most is that when Ben, during that one moment, reverted back to Kylo (the mask) she rejected him, because he honestly needs to fix himself, and he can't do that if she goes with him

21. Luke and Leia's scene killed me. Yes, I am indeed a ghost writing this long ass review lol

22. Also Snoke is an ass. That is all. He's an ass.

23. But seriously that moment where they were all in the throne room and he just decided to manipulate Rey and Ben both by saying their bond was his doing, making them feel as though it shouldn't exist, that it was a perverse lie, BUT THEN IN THE END YOU SEE IT STILL EXISTS DESPITE SNOKE'S DEATH LIKE AAAAAHH

24. Luke's death was, once again, beautiful. It was like Yoda's, in a way, and he just accepted that his part was played. He had no role in any of this anymore. He had fulfilled his purpose, and was able to die in peace. Hence "Peace and Purpose"

25. Also I love that Ben wasn't the one who killed him.

26. OK but honestly Luke really messed up with Ben. I mean he tried to kill a child in his sleep. And then what Luke said "I saw the eyes of a child betrayed by his master" or something like that

27. Anyway the porgs were cuter than I thought they'd be, BUT THE CRYSTAL FOXES THO

28. AND THE FATHIERS

29. And that ending! Rey's disappointed face as she looked at Ben and closed the door, and Ben's sad face, as the dice disappeared, symbolizing that he could not escape his past (I think)

30. OK BUT now that Rey's saber is broken, DOES THAT MEAN SHE REBUILDS IT AND IT'S CRACKLY??? I MEAN NICE

31. The while movie in general. Enough said lol. I mean it was so great that my sister (who hasn't seen star wars and only knew the base outline of the movie that I literally told her today) loved it, and was sad when certain characters died (not you Snoke) and I'm like highkey sure she's trying to chill and appear calm regarding Rey and Ben lol

32. also I forgot this but when Luke showed up in the hut during the Hut Scene™ and exploded it I could literally feel everyone thinking "oh shit Luke what the hell NO srsly bro don't no wonder Ben hates you" and honestly I agree 100 percent lmao

33. Oh and I love the recurring thing that Ben says ie "Say it" because it shows not only that Rey's lying to herself, but also that Ben is too, only he's unable to see the good as Rey is the bad, and I just really love this parallel

34. Anyway since it's obvious that if Ben dies Rey will too (raw powah + 2 halves + Force Bond?? Duh) so either they're gonna pull a Romeo and Juliet in 9 (pls no) or they're gonna inverse Anidala and have Ben make comments on sand (lol)

35. ALSO "Join me and we'll rule the galaxy together!" "Anakin, please, you're going down a path I can't follow!"... Ring any bells? THAT'S RIGHT "Join me Rey, together we will rule the galaxy (or something idk)" "Please, Ben, don't do this. Don't go this way. (or something)"

36. ALSO I sense a pattern with Ben, he's inversing Anakin, 7 was the Vader stage, 8 was ep.3 stage (see above), AND 9 WILL (hopefully) BE THE EP.2 STAGE (get ready for Extra as hell Emperor Ben floating pears and making commentary about sand lmao)

37. I was joking about the sand and pears.

38. Also Yoda appeared and was Classic Yoda as always lmao

Anyway I wanna know Rian's ao3 account because honestly I'd read everything there lol
