Through a Mirror, Darkly.

I wanted to experiment with Rey and Ben seeing but not seeing each other in dreams as small children. Here, Ben is presented not just as an embodiment of the galaxy’s darkness, but as Rey’s darkness specifically. Does her resentment and desolation about her absent parents get funneled through him? Does Ben’s love and understanding find their way to Rey? Rey also shows her darkness,something that differentiates her from being a pure martyr with flat virtuousness.

I also love the Force Bond staging in TLJ, so this comic echoes that format with panels split down the middle. In this way, it is equally Ben and Rey’s point of view.

Reblogging my first major comic foray into the reylo fandom.

Though Star Wars has had its ups and downs, and the Star Wars fandom certainlyhas had them, the Reylo fandom has been a joy. The reylo fandom’s enthusiastic response to this comic encouraged me to keep creating, sharing, and growing over these past years.

It will continue to influence my artistic journey in the future, whether it contains original or fan-centered work.

Thank you, everyone. May the Fourth be with you.
