Reylo Week - Role Reversal Mashup Willow

So, I, personally, don’t think there’s a better role reversal mashup for Reylo than Willow’s Sorsha and Madmartigan.

If you’re not familiar with the pairing, I’ll try to explain without spoiling too much!

I would call them a prime example of the enemies-to-lovers trope. In fact, back in the Reylo dark ages (pre-TLJ summer), I actually re-watched Willow with the thought, hey, if it worked for Sorsha and Madmartigan, then Reylo has a chance.

Sorsha is the evil Queen Bavmorda’s warrior daughter. I guess she’s technically a warrior princess, in the way Kylo is a warrior prince.

Queen Bavmorda always reminded of a female Palpatine (guess they’re both from George Lucas’ imagination, right?). 

Anyways, Bavmorda sends Sorsha on the quest to find an escaped baby of prophecy that could spell her doom.

Sorta also reminds me of:

Madmartigan is a mercenary swordsman, but in the beginning, he’s only concerned with himself and getting back to what he wants to do. 

It takes a little bit for him to step up and be a hero. He was also mostly shirtless before Swolo.

During the Bringing Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge to Life panel Warwick Davis mentioned possible work on Willow 2. I really hope it happens!
