Okay, so I know we all think we know exactly what should have happened or how it could’ve been better. But as of now I actually really liked TROS.
Now, I think the reason I am so cool with it is that while I’m heartbroken my baby boy is dead, especially after bendemption, I think Rey’s reaction wasn’t all bad.
She just spent the entire battle with Palpetine removing herself from hatred and anger and connecting with all thr Jedi’s of a thousand generations.
When Ben disappears, his body fading to become one with the force as per Jedi standards, I think if anything, it would be comforting.
He will always be with her, and any lingering doubts she could’ve possible had are gone. He has been redeemed, and become the Jedi he was meant to be. And now he will live on within her and she will never be alone.
just more star wars stuff about the ending walk on walk on
went back and read my own reax to tfa and tlj and in one of them i said,
OKAY LIKE THEIR BATTLEGROUND WAS HIS HEART? HIS BODY, HIS SOUL? AND SHE WON?????? SHE WON!!!
rey killed kylo ren and he became the person ////she/// wanted him to be ohhhhhh my g
also sidebar: she killed him with his crucifix sword. and also the same way he killed han. OHHHHHH? OH WORD? WHEN SHE HEALED HIM THE SCAR ON HIS FACE THAT SHE GAVE HIM AFTER HE KILLED HIS FATHER HEALED? OH W O R D OH?
and okay look i know people are big mad about the ending but, rey’s battle was for the galaxy and ben’s battle was to find himself…. and he did.. and chose to give himself up in sacrifice? LIKE SORRY THAT IS LIKE…. FKJBDSKJBFVKJ
like i said in my og post, it’s okay that rey’s storyline is about the universe and ben’s storyline is about rey. it’s good actually!!!! like you take a man with the physicality of adam driver and you have him hold her body and choose her above himself? give his power to her? his very LIFE?
im fhbw=e wheeww you guys im shaking
like look obviously i’m not calling this corporate behemoth cash grab a feminist manifesto or whatever but this narrative beat IS powerful, to me. and it could have been handled better, everything in this movie was a mess, but the core of it is…. güüd. and adam driver was fucking doing the MOST out here. MY MANS
and also, i love that this is both a selfless act and a deeply selifsh act, all at once. like how fucking kylo ren of him i cannot. he can’t do anything by halves, he has always been relentless in whatever he has been pursuing, he’s like a fucking crusader seeking a grail, any grail. AND HE FOUND ITTTTT and like his love is that powerful? wooooowww
also look i agree that this movie did a hatchet job with a lot of stuff from tlj and that is objectively bad. but also…. ben didn’t go to exegol to kill what he hated, he went to save what he loved. and he did!!!!!!!
spoilery rise of skywalker stuff guys. but important stuff
me this whole morning as soon as i woke up: KILL THE BEAST AND LOVE THE BOY???? SHE KILLED THE MONSTER INSIDE HIM AND BROUGHT BACK THE BOY THAT SHE LOVED?????? WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF FAIRY TALE TOMFOOLERY
also i didn’t say it in my reaction post but ummm when they were using the force to stop lightsaber swings hot sexy beautiful and also the increasing desperation and futility of their fight because they knew neither one could really win because they are EQUALS…. THEY ARE THE BALANCE
and like look… there has never been a more ben kylo solo ren thing to do than to give his life up for rey…. he’s been BEGGING to be a martyr for love his whole fucking LIFE and all he was looking for was someone worthy enough for it!!!! and now his life force lives in her?????? he’s literally still alive in rey forever? I - I’M -
there really are people who are like ‘well ha ha they didn’t walk off into the sunset together’ UMMMMMM YEAH…. THEY DID???????????????? HE’S STILL WITH HER…. SHE HAS A YELLOW LIGHTSABER CAUSE SHE IS ONE HALF OF A DYAD…. SHE IS LIFE AND HE IS DEATH THEY’RE FOREVER ENTWINED
rey: i wanted to take your hand. ben’s hand
kylo: well shit why didn’t you say that two movies ago (immediately sheds the kylo persona and becomes ben again and rushes to her side)
THASSSSMABOY
i’m going to be in this pit for the foreseeable future so like, join me. it’s more fun
IT WAS A LOVE STORY ALL ALONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU. GUYS. I AM SO… ALIVE RIGHT NOW I
okay that opening scrawl i laughed so hard… THE DEAD SPEAK!!
‘supreme leader kylo ren’ will never not be funny
OKAY OPENING WITH KYLO I SCREAMED…. HIS BEAUTIFUL FACE
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN TO YOU…. HOW MUCH
okay and his ruthless hell bent search for this silly macguffin…. we love a demonic legend
and ALSO his determination to kill the past!!!!!! HE HAS LITERALLY BEEN CIRCLING THIS THE WHOLE SERIES
look, i am biased because kylo is my favourite and he has been the one thing that’s been consistently written and done across this trilogy and i’m very spoiled because i got everything i wanted here
but KYLO REN. KYLO REN!!!!!!!!!!!
laughed my ASS off at the snoke in the tube and palpatine being like ‘surprise bitch…. bet you thought you’d seen the last of me’
laughed decidedly LESS at ‘i’ve been every voice you’ve ever heard in your head’
look this isn’t going to be a review…. just my thoughts really and this decidedly isn’t a comparison with the last jedi which it seems like everyone wants to do in a weird victorious kind of way
but kylo killing snoke/his abuser in tlj was a terrifying powerful moment to watch and i loved it fiercely and still do, and for kylo to see that he hadn’t done that at all…. and that evil still abides…. fucking nightmare, honestly
and that’s when i started getting a feeling in the back of my head because look he is so determined to kill the past
(let the past die)
that he will kill himself as well to do it. that has always been kylo’s character since the very beginning. SO!!!!!
also the structural integrity of palp’s hideaway…. not great
palps: kill rey heh heh
kylo: i am absolutely not gonna do that but okay
omfg when kylo was like ME AND MY KNIGHTS OF REN ARE GOING HUNTING
i cannot explain to you how HILARIOUS the knights of ren are to me
they do nothing! they say nothing! they just stand around and look stupid in their stupid helmets….. i laughed every single time they were on screen
it’s like kylo’s uselessness manifests into what 6? 7 more useless things. the Knights of Ren
‘we’re going hunting’ are you TWELVE YEARS OLD
this film felt like it was going a million miles an hour, all the time, and that started for me in that first scene in the falcon which was going all over the place? for some reason?
anyway THERE’S A MOLE IN THE FIRST ORDER and i know it is hux but i kind of wanted it to be kylo on the side…. though i know he is not capable of any such subterfuge. about as subtle as a wrecking ball… and my SON
loved the comraderie with poe and finn. i liked the lived-in feeling of the relationships between the rebellion characters this time around
felt like they had that new alien dude in the falcon for no reason and for two seconds like… why
(to sell toys, of course. the same reason why they have a new tiny droid)
but that of course is just the first in a long line of new and underdeveloped characters in this movie. but you know what? i can accept this because the core emotional story was strong and also, it’s star wars? a big sprawling mess is what it has always, always been. ANYWHOMST
REY IN THE FOREST LEVITATING!!!!
the white outfit!!! how at one she is with nature??? SORRY IT WAS BEAUTIFUL
and okay the specific framing of rey and rey’s power in this movie as not only a part of the force but so specifically as a woman using the force… like the power of empathy! the power of healing!!! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL WHATEVER
when she called leia her MASTER? MY HEART
THE POWER OF WOMEN!!!
on the flip side, doesn’t it kind of feel like poe has a problem with women?
like as soon as he started riffing with rey i was like GET A JOB STAY AWAY FROM HER
but in hindsight i feel kind of better about them and their interactions… more on that later
FINN! finn in this movie was WONDERFUL
(except it annoyed me how they had the whole ‘there’s something i want to say to you’ and never had him say it… like even if he was going to say he loved rey okay just don’t leave it hanging like that?)
FORCE FUCKING SENSITIVE!!!!!!
look i really think they did they best they could with a really difficult job in incorporating leia and previous footage into this movie. it wouldn’t have felt right without her and the scenes were a bit clunky but again, a very very difficult thing to do
LEIA AND REY’S RELATIONSHIP….. MY HEART HURTS
i love that rey’s storyline has depth and motivation and kylo’s storyline is literally revolving around rey like she’s the sun
like i literally love this. MORE OF THIS!!!
FORCE BOND STILL EXISTSSSSSSSS
KNEW IT CALLED IT CLAIMED IT LOVE IT
the soft gasp rey does whenever kylo is about to show up for forceskype i love this song
the knights of ren standing around while kylo’s helmet got fixed omfg they are the stupidesttttt
kylo: maybe i don’t want to wear the helmet
the knights of ren: maybe shut the fuck up
Let’s Go To Burning Man
i actually kind of liked seeing these people doing their own cool cultural thing. like again this movie went at lightspeed but i did enjoy that. what’s better than this? just aliens being dudes
when rey talked to that little girl and she asked her last name i was like LOLLLL HERE WE GOOOOOOOO
as soon as lando showed up it was like ‘oh it’s lando’
‘i offered you my hand’
‘I’LL OFFER YOU MY HAND AGAIN’
WHY DID HE SAY THIS… LIKE IT WAS A PROPOSAL
I WAS SCREECHING SORRY… WOW.
i have never really found C3PO funny but um he was going off in this movie… when they all looked at him and then he looked away I CACKLED
and the mind wipe like whew man… one day we’re gonna have a conversation about Droids And The Uncomfortable Conclusions About Droids in these movies
but also, i wish they’d had the guts to stick with it and not restore his memory because, what a symbol for the past dying and the end of a saga? like 3PO has been there since the start!! the star wars live in his memory banks ???? and R2 as well i suppose
don’t think too long about this cause then you realise that for some reason they’re still using like 80 year old iphones and R2 and 3PO should be decommissioned for scraps
WHEN HE TOOK THE NECKLACE OFF HER I FOUND IT HOT I FOUND IT SEXY I FOUND IT UMMMM
the sand was a cool visual thing but then THE SNAKE
it felt so GREEK HERO MYTH but then rey stops the script!!
AND DOESN’T FIGHT IT
AND SHE HEALS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as soon as rey healed that snake i was like
‘kylo ren is that snake’
blah blah dagger blah
the sith language and being forbidden actually interests me. i want more proper sith lore
basically i want a revan and bastila movie. make it so
keri russell was WASTED in this movie
but that one scene with her and rey where they had Mutual Respect was so much better and more important than anything she did with poe
poe is like… sure i guess. i mean i liked him better in this movie than tlj and i liked him more as the movie when on but hmmst
but hey if i get to have a kylo then the poe people can have i poe. i begrudge no one
except, uh…. hux people. y’all really got done this movie huh. ouch
double as bad cause there was literally no point to the new general character. should have just been hux and then had him die in the final battle?
but i laughed when he was like ‘i don’t want you to WIN. i want kylo to LOSE’
THAT’S KING PETTY
omfg when kylo was like ‘where are you’ and then saw the vader mask and was like ‘oh you’re in my room’
SCREECHED
KYLO’S EVIL BOARD MEETING
LAUGHED MY ASS OFF
WHEN HE SMACKED THAT DUDE TO THE ROOF
sorry the first order is a startup. not even an ‘evil’ one especially because they’re all just a bit evil
when kylo reacted to that guy saying ‘we should take more children’ and the small thread winding through this movie about children being indoctrinated and rey and ben stopping THAT cycle.. important to me and i wish it had been bigger but i was glad it was there
all kylo did in the first half of this movie was chase after his girlfriend and tell her how they were meant to be together and that he wasn’t going to kill her even though he should. i love one stupid man
kylo flying his ship at rey deliberately wanting to ‘push her’ and her jumping over it and crashing the whole damn thing
and then him just getting up and walking out of the wreck not a scratch on him
like some kind of hero in a romance novel in his stupid cape lmfaoaoooo… you love to see it
THE PUSH/PULL WITH THE TRANSPORT?
THEIR POWERRRRRR
and then rey with her fuckin LIGHTNING
as soon as that happened i was like, oh lol rey palps then….
but also, THE LOOK OF WONDER BUT ALSO VICTORY ON KYLO’S FACE
ADAM DRIVER SIR
okay to be honest the whole soujourn to the like space swiss village is kind of a blur to me
keri russell was wasted, did i say that already?
although okay that bit when poe was like ‘were you a stormtrooper? were you a scavenger?’ maybe give him his rights
when kylo said WE’RE TWO PARTS OF THE SAME BEING
A DYAD
TWO WHO ARE AS ONE
two? WHO ARE? AS ONEEEEEE
NEITHER WHOLE WITHOUT THE MOTHERFUCKING OTHER I
‘i never lied to you’ AND HE NEVER HAS AND NEVER FUCKING DIDDD!!!!!
all the stormtroopers getting knocked back and kylo steadying himself with the force lol… it’s these little things ok
JODIE COMER?
rEy PaLpAtInE
I LAUGHED MY ASSSS OFFFFFFF
like… sure jj. sure
look, i have always understood and respected the choice to make rey ‘nobody’ (like anakin was! the force just makes who it needs to create the balance!) but if rey was going to be anyone i guess…. this is the best choice?
and i think there IS merit in the story going from ‘person burdened with legacy vs person with no legacy’ to ‘person with a legacy of good turning evil and person with a legacy of evil turning good’
i gotta think longer and more about this but. besides its inherent silliness i do not hatethis ‘twist’
this movie jumped from planet to planet like a ping pong ball! it felt a bit jarring but my mum pointed out that the galaxy IS big and they’ve never really done this before and i was like hmmm Points Were Made
THE FIGHT ON THE OLD DEATH STAR
KYLO DODGING REY’S SWIPES AND NOT EVEN PULLING HIS SABER UNTIL HE HAD TO
THEN ONLY FIGHTING DEFENSIVELY
and her DESPERATION
ALMOST LIKE SHE’S FIGHTING HERSELF
BECAUSE THEY ARE TWO HALVES! OF ONE WHOLE!
and then oh my god
‘you can’t go back to her (leia). just like i can’t’
and the VICTORY in his eyes and the acknowledgment of the truth in hers
because THEY ARE THE SSSAAAAAAMMMMMMMMEEEE
when rey SCREECHED and force threw finn back…. oh fuck
(sidebar the way finn was so determinedly THERE for rey this whole movie… even when she said about the sith throne… his faith in her didn’t waver im verklempt)
WHEN HE DISAPPEARED AND REY LOOKED BACK HORRIFIED
because he can’t go! because the fight is what they have and what she’s clinging on to!
AND THEN HE WALKED UP OUT THE WATTTTEERRRRRRRRR
absolute romantic nonsense.
AND THEN
SHE KILLED HIM
SHE KILLED HIM!!!!!!
SHE KILLED KYLO REN WITH HIS OWN DAMN CRUCIFIX SWORD
I COULD NOT
BE LEEEEAAAF
THIS HAS BEEN MY DREAM ENDGAME SINCE THE START AND IT’S HERE TWO THIRDS THROUGH THE FUCKING LAST MOVIE?
A GIFT. LICH RALLY A GIFT TO MEEEEE
leia gave her LIFE for her SON I…
this was the only moment in the movie where i started to get some tears cause like… IT WAS JUST SO MUCH
AND REY…. TOOK LEIA’S ENERGY THROUGH THE FORCE…
AND SHE PUT HER HANDS ON HIM
AND SHE HEALED HIM
SHE’S A SCAVENGER
SHE FIXES BROKEN THINGGGGSSSSS
HE DIED BECAUSE SHE KILLED HIM
AND HE LIVES BECAUSE SHE HEALED HIM…
WHEN. WILL. YOUR. FAVES?????????
‘IWANTEDTO TAKE YOUR HAND. BEN’S HAND’
take my hand? take my whole life too
IIRENGOWENRGKLJEWNGFKJBKJBKJBKJLB
ALL THE BEAUTIFUL WINDSWEPT CLOSE UP SHOTS OF KYLO’S BEAUTIFUL WINDSWEPT FACE IN THIS MOVIE. I WAS BREATHLESS
KYLO STNADING ON THE EDGE OF THAT SEA WITH THE WIND GOING AND HIS LEG OUT LIKE THE STUPID BYRONIC HERO HE IS
HEATHCLIFF? HEATHCLIFF ON THE MOOR?
HAN’S HAND ON BEN’S FACE
HE CALLED HIM. DAD
‘kylo ren is dead’
OHHHHHH BABBBBYYYYYY
look i loved the crossguard saber but i understood why it had to go
and like ben shedding the persona he had built as a defence mechanism… rey killed that part of him? powerful too powerful
i know i have rose coloured glasses because i care about the core story of kylo/rey enough and i’m passionate enough about it but okay the way they are entwined with one another on the journey to identity is the greatest thing a silly blockbuster series has maybe ever given me
it’s tam lin. IT’S FAIRY TALE NONSENSE AND I LOVE IT
i 100% know in my bones they wanted the scene with han to be leia but they obviously couldnt have that so that was fine. when ben turned his head around and heard her and felt her…. DONT LOOK AT ME
the most emotional moment in this movie was when chewie heard about leia and broke down and collapsed and screamed
:(
us too buddy. damn
rey stealing kylo’s ship and yeeting away lmfao
and when she went back to ach-to and burned it and was like IM STAYING HERE 4EVA >:(
she’s literally the exact same stupid reckless as kylo and i love
rose was wasted in this movie. very annoying
i DID laugh when they said ‘we should pull a holdo manoeuvre’ like of course that’s the one thing jj took from tlj. ohhhh jj
loved finn meeting the ex stormtrooper lady. i always felt like the one weakness of tlj is that it dropped this thread of finn’s indoctrination that i thought was being woven alongside rey and kylo’s issues with their childhoods in force awakens. the look of wonder on his face when she said that the whole battalion defected…. and saying the force lead them to do it like it lead him… and you could see john boyega feeling that with his whole heart!!!
i laughed at palps’ fleet of star destroyers that like all have death star capabilities now? so dumb
and also, a star destroyer is basically an aircraft carrier…. do you think the people who make star wars realise the empire is america? no…??? alright imma head out
missed opportunity for a shot of jar jar or a gungan when the galaxy fleet showed up like those towboats at dunkirk. to be HONEST
where did sheev palps find that stadium of goons? are they on retainer?
yeah so palpatine’s lair is the underworld and rey is eurydice and ben is orpheus. YEAH. YEAHHHHHHHHH
LEIA WAS TRAINED AS A MFING JEDI
THAT FLASHBACK WAS EVERYTHING FUCK
LEIA’S SABER!!!!!!!!!
i have Questions about leia ‘seeing her son dying at the end of her journey’ like ?
BUT HER PUTTING AWAY THE SABER TO PROTECT BEN!!!!
THIS FAMILY
fuck. benjy solo in that jumper…. USING A BLASTER LIKE HIS DAD…..
THE X WING AND THE TIE FIGHTER PARKED NEXT TO EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!
PALPATINE CALLING THEIR BOND ‘AS POWERFUL AS LIFE AND THE FORCE ITSELF’
NOT FOR GENERATIONS HAS THEIR BEEN A DYAD LIKE THEM!!!
FUCKING
DESTINED
BITCH
THEY ARE EACH OTHER’S DESTINY? WOW SORRY…. WOWOWOOWOOWOWOOWOWOW
ben versus his idiot knights of ren…. yeah i love my son
sorry rey had a vision of her AND kylo sitting on the throne but the throne is…. one seat? what are the logistics here? her on his lap? him on her lap? both of them sitting on an armrest like awkward kids taking a photo with santa?
I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOR LIKE FIVE MINUTES COMPLETELY DISTRACTED
THE LITTLE SHRUG BEN DID WHEN HE GOT THE LIGHTSABER AND WAS LIKE ‘YEAH SORRY NOW YOU’RE GONNA DIE’
I SCREAMED. IM LOVE HIM
rey giving ben the saber through the force bond!!
ACROSS SPACE??? LOVE THAT TRANSCENDS THE WORLD
palpatine taking, SPECIFICALLY, the power of rey and kylo’s BOND to strengthen himself because it is THE STRONGEST THING IN THE FUCKING UNIVERSE???????? CANONICALLY????????
REY AND BEN FIGHTING WITH LUKE AND LEIA’S SABERS
FUCKING… I FUCKING….
when palps like flicked ben away sorry i laughed… i mean i was like REALLY? FOR THE BIG FINALE HE’S GONE? but i understood why and that rey is the hero etc etc
THE JEDI SPEAKING TO REY! OBI WAN! QUI GON FUCKIN JINN
yoda is there too
AND THE POWER OF THE JEDI FLOWING THROUGH HER!!!!!
god her power…. SHE AMAZES MEEEE
(initially i thought ben was gonna kill palps for rey because of the whole The Sith Live in My Killer thing and then she’d have to kill him but HOISTED ON HIS OWN PETARDDD)
palpatine:
and the power was too much and it killed her ooooof
(the power of being a legacy… of channeling all that has some before!!! these movies get so ridiculously meta sometimes. best believe we’ll talk about THIS)
BUT HERE COMES BEN
BENJY BOYYYYY
his hair JUST long enough to be scraggly and devastating
literally dragging a broken leg
ADAM DRIVERS PHYSICALITY IN THESE MOVIES (WELL ALWAYS) (BUT SPECIFICALLY IN THIS ROLE)
and he knows
WHAT HE HAS TO DOOOO
HE FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING HE LOVED ENOUGH TO DIE FOR
I JUST CAN’T BELIEVE THIS
when he held her body holy shit… HOLY SHIT, GUYS
FULL CIRCLE????CVMSDFJNVDSLKFJVLDKJFVLKJDBFV
A PIETA…. A FUCKING PIETA
OH MY GOD THIS MOVIE
and his heartbroken face…. stumbling back to her… oh my good goddd
and then
‘I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO BUT I’M AFRAID TO DO IT’
HE DIED FOR HER
HE GAVE…. HIS LIFE….. FOR HER…..
I CANNOT BE LIEVE THISSSSSS
HE GAVE UP HIS LIFE!!!!! HIS FUCKING LIFE!!!
he fought…. his whole life…. and he gave it up….
THAT’S LOVE? THAT’S FUCKING TRUE LOVE HOLLYL SKDJBVDKBF
REVAN AND BASTILA!!!!! REVAN AND BASTILA!!!1
and then she was alive again!!! ROMEO AND JULIET OKAY WOW
AND
THEY
KISSED
I’M SORRY I DID FREAK THE FUCK OUT
HIS SOFT EYES
(super spoilery shot coming up here but)
OH MY GOD
FOR FUCK’S
SAKE.
i’m sure people will be mad about how little kylo like… talked in this movie but like sorry this was perfect
she saved his life! and she saved the world! and he quietly gave his life to her,forher?
this humble act of love? PURE LOVE?
WHAT WONDERFUL AND TERRIBLE THINGS THEY ARE CAPABLE OF.
THAT THEY PUSH EACH OTHER TO
THIS TRILOGY WAS MADE FOR ME AND ONLY ME. THERE’S NO OTHER EXPLANATION
and her look of JOY and she said, ‘BEN’
look. i have been on the record for YEARS as saying my dream endgame would be for rey to kill kylo and for him to be forceghost with her always
AND SOMEHOW UMMMM THIS IS BETTER?
1. SHE DID! KILL HIM! AND THEN BROUGHT HIM BACK
2. AND THEN HE WILLINGLY DIED FOR HER?
3. AND NOW SHE CARRIES HIM WITH HER ALWAYS??????
when his body faded and leia’s did too….. wo OOOOOOOOOOWWWW
SHE TOOK
HIS FUGGIN
LAST NAMMMEMELRKNWELKJBNLKJBFLKJBFKLRBJKLERJB
I’M SORRY THIS MOVIE WAS MADE FOR ME. KYLO REN WAS BREWED UP F O R MEEEEEEE
listen. there is a video game where a lady’s boyfriend gets killed and his soul goes into a sword and she carries the sword around with her
THAT IS THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
I CARRY YOUR HEART I CARRY IT IN MY HEART BITCH??????
THE FUCKING ORANGE SABER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and look. ben’s story is allowed to be just about rey and rey’s is allowed to be bigger than just him. that’s EQUALITY. that’s JUSTICE
look i know it’s very douchey of me but i wrote this paragraph about a character of mine in a book i wrote and it is like….. LIKE IT’S JUST KYLO REN OKAY
he was never gonna be someone who could settle down and live like a quiet life of monkhood or whatever luke was doin on ach-to….
okay when finn poe and rey hugged at the end okay I DID FEEL SOMETHING IN MY COLD DEAD HEART
FINN JUST LOVES THEM! SO MUCH! THERE IS SO MUCH LOVE IN THAT BOY’S HEART
and probably up until that moment i hadn’t really cared about having a Trio in the new movies like we had han and leia and luke but that hug had me feeling like… okay… Friendship IS Great
okay back to kylo, i tweeted this but i’ll repeat here: my favourite arc in media has always been snape’s, to me it is the perfect ‘redemption’ arc (and yes this will make people scrunchy-nosed angry, so i will point out: redemption to me has always meant redemption in the eyes of the reader/viewer, not in-world, this is true for anakin/vader too, who also has a nearly flawless ‘redemption’ arc) but now it’s kylo solo ren ben
I LOVE HIM. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I CAN’T STAND IT A LITTLE
HE FELL IN LOVE? AND IT SAVED HIM
HE WAS LOST AND HE FOUND HIS OTHER HALF
AND HE DIED BECAUSE SHE WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY IT ALL
CARRY THE LEGACY WHEN HE COULDN’T!!!
IT’S JUST SOSSOOSOOSOSOOSSO
i want a funko pop of ben in his comfy jumper running to fuck sheev palps the fuck up
i don’t even LIKE funko pops
naboo has a lot to answer for. literally all of these problems come from naboo
sure this movie was a big ole mess and i surely can’t wait for the good old disk horse
but i’m riding this high for as long as i can
because it was always about LOVE! LOVE CAN IGNITE THE STARS
so sure, this movie pandered terribly. but i am one of the people it pandered to and i am HAPPY INDEED
remember when maz kanata was like ‘your parents aren’t coming back but there is someone who still could’ YEAH IT WAS BEN!!!!!
A year of sAvE bEN s0Lo leads to nothing whereas Luke stans get this without asking. This is what it looks like when an ACTUAL BELOVED FRANCHISE LEAD comes back hope that helps
I just can’t help but think how fucking powerful the kiss between Rey and Ben was. It was stated that they are dyads in the force. Something that hasn’t been seen in generations. Their bond is so strong. One soul in two bodies. So imagine the intensity between them when they shared that kiss. When they were finally able to be with each other, as brief as it was, it was INTENSE. They were so happy. They were born for one another. They were in love.
