Kylo’s grip was waning.
After the fiasco at Crait, he heard the whispers behind his back, that which echoed throughout the First Order. It came from no one source; everyone was thinking it: that Kylo was unhinged. A terrible leader. Distracted. Incomplete in his training. Too involved in personal affairs. He’d cost them the victory. Now the Resistance ran free, right when they were in their grasp. He failed. Nothing like Snoke.
Snoke? Did Rey really kill Snoke? And the guards? Alone?
Kylo could feel his army turning on him. He made examples where he could, to reinstate fear, but it wasn’t enough. In fact, it only made them hate him more.
Even sitting alone in his room, he could feel the outside turmoil of the First Order. The rumors and twistings. He was devising what new ways he could arrest their obedience, when she appeared.
Blinking at the stranger from the waiting room, Rey swallowed hard. She didn’t like the fact that he was speaking to her. It made the moment too real. She didn’t want to miss him when she woke up.
“Shhh…don’t talk,” Rey muttered, crawling her nude body over his.
Lifting a dark brow, Kylo eyed her with a surprised look on his face. Apparently, she was feeling much better than he thought she would.
“Don’t talk…?”
Shaking her dizzy head, Rey pushed away the plush comforter and straddled the man’s sharp hips. It really didn’t matter that she wasn’t completely aroused, her dream lovers always found a way to take her from zero to ecstasy in no time.
“Shhh…shut up…just lie there and let me ride you,” Rey ordered.
Taken aback by her boldness, Kylo huffed in a mixture of excitement and disbelief. He couldn’t remember the last time she had taken the reins. He liked it. A lot.
His day was off to a good start for sure.
“Yes, Ma’am,” he replied, relaxing his head back upon the pillow.

“For the upcoming season the Organa Opera Ballet plans on performing Swan Lake. Only problem is that the principal dancer, Organa’s son, won’t share the stage with any of the female dancers. On his quest to find the perfect Swan Queen he meets Rey - a British undergraduate, that lacks the technique and most definitely does not want to listen, but somehow manages to completely bewitch young Solo. He recognizes both passion and temper, perfect for portraying Odile - but will she be able to transform into a delicate and subtle Odette as well?”

So I just finished watching Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ……. Spoilers …………
1) First I REALLY wanted to love this movie and thought hopefully the bad reviews were just exaggerating but GOD NOW I FINALLY GET IT that plot was so badly predictable and cheap…. I mean Rey being Palpatine’s granddaughter felt like J.J just picked a random theory from YouTube and pasted it into the movie hoping the fans will love it, J.J when you said that you were going to use the prequels as inspiration we did not expect you to literally take a character from the prequels and smash his ass there…….. HOW ABOUT REVING SNOKE OR CREATE A WHOLE NEW UNIQUE VILLIAN THAT TIES IN TO THE STORY BY HAVING THEM CONNECT TO SNOKE’S DEATH AND FORCE THE DARK AND LIGHT SIDE TO DEFEAT HIM !?!?!?!?
I swear was it because I sat in the front row that I got a crap experience? because I am not even exaggerating when I say the whole back row enjoyed and applauded the movie while the first row stayed silent I mean what????? ………….. I know it is hard to create a whole new character and plot line when everyone online predicted every plot possible and that you had to work with what The Last Jedi gave you but yesus christ anything is better than a copy and paste attempt……… and I don’t even remember if there was any connection between Palpatine and Snoke or if Snoke did anything for the plot at all…… like damn ……… J.J basically said Snoke Who? We don’t know him …………uhhhhh???????
2) If you are going for the cheap plot line then at least make an interesting build up to it because jeez it seemed like everything was being put into your face, the cameos, the plotlines and the “suprising” climax ……. like everything was coming in so fast that there was no time to slow down, take a breather and just build up the tension like CHILL MY GUY ………….
3) I am not even sure I saw the same characters let alone a movie from the Star Wars sequel trilogy……. Like the characters mostly Rey and Kylo Ren make a complete 180 turn just like that, we had Rey in The Last Jedi hate Kylo Ren to having empathy towards him and now in this movie she went from trying to kill Kylo Ren to loving him and Kylo Ren all sudden turns to the light side, like when the movie started with her hating his ass again I remember I was constantly questioning, “Hey WHY are you trying to KILL him? Don’t you remember all those INTIMATE FORCE BOND scenes you two had together oh and the fact HE WAS BETRAYED BY HIS PARENTS AND HAD AN UNCLE WHO CONSIDERED KILLING HIM ……… and it is comedic how he is portrayed as Ben Solo BUT I LOVED HOW AMAZING HE LOOKED AND IT WAS GLORIOUS SEEING BEN SOLO BUT like you can’t take it seriously and almost forget that he struggled with the dark, had this torture in him and was a skilled and trained force user but this is exactly what I feared…….
Randomly once he turns to the light he is all smiles and is stumbling out of no where to the point where it felt so out of place with his character as a whole, OH AND DON’T GET ME WRONG I LOVE REYLO, THAT KISS WAS EVERYTHING AND I AM SO HAPPY THEY MADE REYLO CANNON BUT IT JUST DID NOT MAKE SENSE……… believe me when I say that I am just so shocked, confused, and dissapointed………..
4) What should have happened was Rey and Kylo Ren should had less scenes where they fought and more scenes that gave them the opportunity to understand each other ……. I understand Rey’s rage on him for trying to destroy the resistance, killing Han and choosing the dark side but please I was hoping they shared alot of reasonable sexual tension that made them further understand each other’s pain and allow their bond to grow not JUST LIKE OH I SAVED YOU NOW I LOVE YOU ……… Again like these are incredible moments but THEY JUST NEEDED BETTER BUILD UP ……. I HONESTLY WOULD LOVE AND WOULD HAVE ALMOST FAINTED with the reylo scenes but the movie prevented me to take it all in and I dont know maybe it has something to do with HOW I WAS LEFT CONFUSED WITH the FAST PACING , HORRIBLE CHARACTER ARCS, THAT GOD AWFUL DIALOGUE especially from Palpatine and the random predictable plot lines, I don’t know how the audience was laughing and clapping at almost every scene because all I wanted to do was laugh and cry about how the man who written the fun and wonderful Force Awakens movie down graded to this mess ………. J.J WE ROOTED FOR YOU WE ALL ROOTED FOR YOU HOW DARE YOU ?!?!?!?!!?
LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
5) OH AND WHY DID YOU JUST MAKE HER KILL PALPATINE ON HER OWN ?????? IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE FOR KYLO REN TO TURN TO THE LIGHT AND NOT HELP HER KILL HIM INSTEAS…….. YOU LITERALLY THREW HIS ASS AWAY UNTIL THE ALMIGHTY POWERFUL REY KILLED PALPATINE ……….. She only trained for like 5 minutes and even if she did train more than what we saw it still is not an excuse to just have her kill him just by holding two lightsabers in front of her face and be like, "Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience ……….” I DON’T CARE IF SHE IS HIS GRANDDAUGHTER you need BETTER BUILD UP like I don’t know maybe SHOW US MASTER LEIA TRAIN REY …….. since she already randomly got the lightening powers which by the way looked like a bad CGI effect and is another example of a random plot that happened without no build up, do you see what I mean like the lightening just came out of her hands because she had so much “strength” ……… what I was going to say was if she was going to kill Palpatine why not try to use those powers again instead of WASTING THEM FOR ONE SCENE like wtf ………..
BY THE WAY HOW IS ONLY REY DEFEATING PALPATINE SUPPOSED TO BRING BALANCE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE DARK AND LIGHT COMING TOGETHER TO STOP THE PURE EVIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!
6) Also it still does not make sense how Kylo Ren just turned to the light side like that and yes I am aware he was talking to his dad in his head and his mother died fine it is a good reason for him to turn to the light but still given his pure anger and dark side in him which is the character we have grown to see him as he should still be able to communicate he has suffered years of abuse from Snoke, went through pain and betrayal from his Uncle AND his parents ………. then it would make sense to still have the dark side in him and with Rey’s light side can have the light AND the dark finally come together ………… And speaking of bad character arc Rey just automatically about to join Palpatine was not believable at all like I get that she was trying to gain power to save the resistance and this was an opportunity for Kylo Ren to save her but did she really believe becoming “one” with Palpatine would save her friends like she really looked like she already decided to take his hand and she should have been smart enough to know he is cruel and lying to her …….. HE JUST SAID HE WANTED TO MERGE WITH HER BODY TO BECOME A WHOLE POWERFUL BEING ………..
7) The only time I felt suprised was when they made Hux the spy and help the resistance …… See that is something no one expected and led up to something interesting but even then it still does not make sense with his intimidating nature from the first movie but I guess J.J decided to continue The Last Jedi’s approach to a comedic Hux …….. like I hoped he would secretly plan to kill Kylo Ren by having a hidden weapon to kill force users but I guess that was “too much” for this movie and what was the point of having General Allegiant Pryde become a servant to Palpatine if he does nothing but die, the movie really looked like they hinted he was going to do an interesting plot twist with him maybe being the second villian, perhaps he was one of the hooded figures working under Palpatine or he had a hidden power that Palpatine gave him LIKE DUDE MY ASS THOUGHT AFTER REY REFUSED HIM HE WILL USE PRYDE’S BODY TO MAKE IT EASIER TO KILL EVERYONE IN DISGUISE but nah nevermind ………
8) I am just going to lay this straight, there should have been more Luke Skywalker scenes, like come on we all agree ……. Oh yeah and during an interview J.j teased that apparently AHSOKA WAS IN THE MOVIE AND SHE NEVER WAS AND NOT EVEN HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN MADE A CAMEO ………..
UPDATE: So apparently J.J added Anakin’s and Ahsoka’s voice to the scene where all the jedi talk to Rey but still it is disappointing how you can’t tell they are even included in the movie……. oh yeah and Lando was there just because……….
…….I barely remembered the Knights of Ren were in the movie to be honest ………… like really J.J you are not even going try to add a scene where the Knights of Ren actually COMMUNICATE for once with Ben Solo and question why he all of a sudden had a change of heart?????
9) Palpatine is another example of how fast paced the movie was because he was shoved down our throats from the very beginning of the movie like “Oh yeah we are just starting with Palpatine here like we are just placing him in the first scene to get it over with haha ……..” ,the other characters like Poe just happened to know who he was with no one giving Palpatine a proper introduction ………. I mean DID THE MOVIE EVEN MENTION HOW HE CAME BACK TO LIFE ?!?!?!?!?!?
Everything was obviously made for the fan bait and you can tell that they had to reshoot scenes because of how badly edited the movie was and how much they crammed in every plot to the point where I felt like I saw a 1 hour long movie, seriously that fast paced plot made the movie feel like it flashed before my eyes ….. yeah ……..that bad …………
10) I CAN’T GET OVER HOW LEIA DIED ……. I am just confused on how she died which was the same confusion I had with Luke’s death like I don’t understand how Rey stabbing Kylo Ren made Leia die like that …… did she just enter Kylo Ren’s life force and once Rey stabbed him she stabbed Leia as well ?????…….. Oh yeah and the funeral was so dismissed and quick and definitely not only to honor Carrie Fisher but just to the amazing character of Leia Organa, J.J should have taken the time to savor her funeral and last moments on screen ………..
11) Rey should have used the yellow lightsaber like what was the point of having it and what a disappointing and predictable ending …….. I found myself already calling out what will happen during each scene like exactly when cameos would appear and that Rey would obviously call herself a “Skywalker” …….. Do you know what a great ending would have been? Ben Solo and Rey BOTH using their dark and light side powers to kill Palpatine and then creating a new jedi order called, “The Skywalkers” that was made up of both light and dark side users and then the balance is finally made ………….
……..but no Rey is the rising Skywalker if that even makes sense, the resistance and first order never witnessed Rey’s and Kylo Ren’s love, I DESPERATELY WANTED TO SEE FINN JEALOUS AND ANGRY AS HE WATCHED THE REYLO KISS AND HAVE POE PISSED WHILE HE THREATENS TO KILL KYLO REN AND HE OR FINN COULD HAVE BEEN THE ONES TO KILL BEN SOLO OUT OF HATE AND REY WOULD ACCIDENTLY USE THE FORCE TO KNOCK THEM OVER FOR KILLING HER MAN AND THAT WOULD HAVE MADE AN INTERESTING CONFLICT BETWEEN HER AND THE RESISTANCE !!!!!!!!!! LIKE PLEASE J.J WHY !?!?!?!?!!?!? oh and Finn ummmm……. JUST SPIT OUT THAT YOU LOVE REY ALREADY SHIT WE BEEN KNEW IT WON’T EVEN MATTER BECAUSE SHE IS TOO BUSY WANTING THE DARK SIDE IN HER ANYWAYS…………
By the way Finn kept mentioning he felt Rey or he felt something is occurring, like someone asked him while shit happened, “How do you know?, and Finn was like, "I can feel it …….” like DUDE ARE YOU FORCE SENSITIVE OR NOT !?!?!?!!? In The Force Awakens he also heard the cries of the Republic when The First Order killed them and this would have been an great opportunity for him to discover he is force sensitive and gain a cool climax where he helps Rey in some way of course not against Palpatine because he is a newbie to the force but if him being force sensitive was too much for the plot then why hint at it it at all????????
but yeah there is no new order, no new generation of force users, just Rey ………. Skywalker, with a shitty, random and pointless death scene for our BELOVED Ben solo and look guys I knew someone was going to die and I already suspected it would be Ben because Disney just loves their little princess and I was willing to accept it because I got spoiled that there would be a reylo kiss and THAT IS ALL I HAVE EVER WANTED FOR ALL THESE YEARS BUT COME ON BRO like how the hell does Rey not die when using ALL her energy to save people but when Ben uses all his energy ONCE to save Rey HE dies, I DONT CARE IF HE WAS THE LAST SKYWALKER ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME YOU DO NOT KILL OFF THE MOST INTERESTING CHARACTER IN THE SEQUEL TRILLOGY WITH A SHITTY DEATH DA FUCK !!!!!!!!!!! ………. Ben Solo did not even utter one word- oh wait he did, “Ow …….”
I ACTUALLY FORGOT THAT THIS FILM WAS SUPPOSED TO TIE ALL THE MOVIES TOGETHER WHICH MAKES THE MOVIE EVEN MORE DISSAPOINTING LIKE CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN HOW THIS FINAL INSTALLMENT TIED ALL 9 MOVIES TOGETHER HOlY SHIT THAT IS AN EVEN MORE INSANE REALIZATION ……….
Oh yeah and speaking of which I almost fell asleep when Poe, Finn, and Rey were on screen but I was always intrigued when Kylo Ren was shown I swear he is the best character in the sequel trilogy which goes back to the miserable and wasteful death scene ………….
I loved that reylo kiss guys and I WAITED 4 YEARS FOR IT and again I really wanted to love this movie so badly but while I was happy they kissed was I the only one that found it hard to believe I wasn’t seeing the same characters because it is just so hard to wrap my mind they would just kiss from two scenes of them NOW showing obvious care for each other, in The Last they had sexual tension but it seemed skimmed over and they went back to being enemies and their personalities completely changed right at the last moment of their kiss I- I just cant like is it just me???? This whole movie was just so horribly edited even the most amazing moments felt weird ………..Please comment your opinions on this I am so curious ……..and I know it is just a film and I should not take it so seriously but I just can’t help myself wow just wow………. We didn’t even get Ben Solo as a force ghost looking longingly at Rey DISNEY I KNOW YOU TRICKS, STAR WARS WILL NEVER BE OVER BECAUSE YOU MAKE ON THIS FRANCHISE AND I KNOW YOUR ASSES CAN REVIVE OUR BOI JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH PALPATINE SO WHY NOT WITH ONE OF THE MOST MEANINGFUL CHARACTERS OF THE SEQUEL TRILOGY……….. I can’t believe I am going to say this but The Last Jedi may be better than The Rise of Skywalker execution wise, at least The Last Jedi tried to take it’s time for its emotional moments and did a unique plot with Luke’s force projection but everything in this movie just seemed so force……. and that is hard to say because we had our reylo kiss but I just can’t lie J.J said he planned the Palpatine plotline but no the movie obviously shoved a last minute idea and caused a shitty ripple affect……….
Now if you don’t mind I will just keep replaying that reylo kiss for who knows how long …….. if you read this whole post I love you and thank you …………
snoke’s voice rang sharply. “what’s this? - a dyad in the force…my my…”
Eyes of a fire - yellow and red at the edges, turned to me as I looked at her…but her face betrayed nothing other than pure distilled rage. It set my heart thundering in my chest and then I felt it - just briefly, as though she had experienced it too. Something invisible that connected us.
Perhaps she was born of the same darkness I had become.
