Welcome to the Kylo Ren / Ben Solo ♥ Rey
Appreciation Thread

"FOR WHO COULD EVER LOVE... A MONSTER?"

Quote:

KYLO: "You still wanna kill me?" / REY: "That's what happens when you're being hunted by a creature in a mask"

Quote:

REY: "You are a monster" / KYLO: "Yes, I am"

Featuring the lead performances of

{Adam Driver}

and

{Daisy Ridley}

'Journal of the Whills' (Poem extract used in The Force Awakens novel introduction)

"First comes the day
Then comes the night.
After the darkness
Shines through the light.
The difference, they say,
Is only made right
By the resolving of gray
Through refined Jedi sight."

"Kylo swore his loyalties were only to Snoke.
But he was intrigued when he captured Rey, a Jakku scavenger whose Force abilities were raw but very powerful.
A mysterious connection seemed to link the two."
~ StarWars.com {The Force Awakens}

FOCUS, FATE AND FASCINATION ('THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA' STYLE)

Quote:

KYLO: "The girl I've heard so much about
[...] Forget the droid, we have what we need"

JJ Abrams ('The Force Awakens' Co-Writer/Director): "So the idea here is that Kylo Ren’s gotten inside of Rey’s head, sees that she has seen the map and is now letting go of the droid as his goal, and focusing just on her. And clearly you think, well he must be able to just extract the information he wants now.
But because he’s taken her, you get a sense that there might be something else going on here."

INTIMATE INTERROGATION ('BEAUTY AND THE BEAST' STYLE)

Quote:

REY: "Where am I?" / KYLO: "...You're my guest"
KYLO: "You're so lonely... So afraid to leave... At night, desperate to sleep" / REY: "You... You're afraid"
SNOKE: "And the droid?" HUX: "Ren believed it was no longer valuable to us... That the girl was all we needed"

JJ Abrams: "Because of Vader, I think you expect him to need the mask. That, like Vader, it’s some kind of breathing apparatus, some sort of necessity. But when his mask comes off, you see Adam Driver
[...] And he just looks like a sort of Prince."
Rayne Roberts (LucasFilm): "There's something profound that happens between them. [Lawrence] Kasdan describes it as an "energy" between them, something more than you'd expect."

HONEST IN THE FOREST

Quote:

KYLO: "It's just us, now [...] I could show you the ways of The Force" / REY: "The Force..."
SNOKE: "You have compassion for her. I perceive the problem. It isn't her strength that is making you fail. It's your weakness"

JJ Abrams: "What you really care about is what’s gonna happen in the forest between these two characters who are now alone."
Rachael (JournaloftheStarWars.com) "There is no mention of Snoke or even the Dark side – Kylo is intent only on Rey, and the offer he makes is an offer made between the two of them [...] his regard for and fascination with Rey win out over his duty to Snoke. He selfishly wants her to himself"
Adam Driver: "The title of 'The Force Awakens' wasn’t just referring to the light side, it was the dark side as well."

"Under Luke’s tutelage, Rey learned to feel the Force around her and understand her connection to it.
But as her powers grew, her connection with Kylo strengthened as well –
and Rey became certain that their fates were somehow intertwined."
~ StarWars.com {The Last Jedi}

FRENZIED FORCE FEELINGS

Quote:

KYLO: "You have that look in your eyes, from the forest... When you called me a monster"

LA Times: "I’ve got a catchy name for Rey and Kylo’s sexy “Force connection” sessions for you: “ForceTime.”
Rian Johnson: "I’ve heard “Force Skyping,” but that’s good!""

SENSUAL, SOULFUL STRING OF SIGNALS

Quote:

REY: "It isn't too late."

Blake Howard (Graffiti With Punctuation Blog): "In the wake of Rey and Kylo’s final confrontation in “The Force Awakens” they are inexplicably connected. In this series, we see that their connection allows them to communicate across the galaxy like they’re talking across the room. These interactions feature some of the best and most sorely missed chemistry in the series since “Empire.”"

EUPHORIC ELEVATOR ETIQUETTE

Quote:

REY: "You'll turn... I'll help you. I've seen it" / KYLO: "I saw something too"

Kevin Litman-Navarro (Jstor Daily): "You have chemistry with someone because part of that person’s identity is, in fact, part of yours. We recognize this on a metaphorical level in the way we speak of couples. Rey and Kylo Ren become Reylo, and there is no conservation of identity. [...] No wonder #Reylo is #goals. It’s a single thing, a separate entity, decentralized across two minds—a Gordian knot of Strange Loops, braided, intertwined, and inseparable."

TENDER THIGH TOUCHING AND THRONE ROOM THRUSTING

Quote:

KYLO: "I know what I have to do."

Joanna Robinson (Vanity Fair): "I can say no moment draws more audible gasps and applause than when Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren and Daisy Ridley’s Rey whirl around in brief slow-motion, stand back-to-back, and take on a room of their shared enemies together. It’s the sexiest moment in a franchise that already featured a young Han Solo answering Leia’s earnest “I love you” with a smoldering “I know.”
Joseph Schmidt (ComicBook.com): "Seeing the two work together was one of the best moments in the saga."

THE 'PRIDE AND PREJUDICE' PROPOSAL ('NOTTING HILL' STYLE)

Quote:

KYLO: "Rey... I want you to join me. We can work together, create a new order in the galaxy.
[...] You have no place in this story! You come from nothing, you're nothing... But not to me. Join me... Please."

Brogan Morris (Vice): "One of the most beautifully twisted declarations of love ever uttered in a family blockbuster,
before quietly pleading with her to join him like he’s the most desperately lonely person in the universe."
Rian Johnson ('The Last Jedi Writer/Director): "I don't think that he's playing chess there. I think that this is something that he genuinely saw, and genuinely believes that because of this connection [they share], basically.
It's less like, 'I can use this on her.' It's more, 'Oh my god, we have this in common, this is more of a kindred spirit that even she realizes.'"
[...]It's a very naked, open, emotional appeal.
It's his version of, 'I'm just a girl standing in front of a guy'..."
Kevin Smith (Filmmaker/Actor): "You can tell, he genuinely cares about her."

PARALLELS - YOU OFFER HER THE GALAXY, SHE PLEADS WITH YOU: "DON'T GO THIS WAY"

PARALLELS - "YOU HAVE YOUR FATHER'S HEART"

YIN AND YANG - THE LIGHTSABER STRIKES BACK

Quote:

LUKE: "This is not going to go the way you think"
ROSE: "That's how we're gonna win; not fighting what we hate, but saving what we love"

CautionSpoilers.com: "His relationship with Rey is one of equals, a constant tug of war and peace.
[...] As they battle for each other’s hearts and minds."

PARALLELS - "YOU JUST COULDN'T LET ME GO, COULD YOU?
[...] AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE MEETS AN IMMOVABLE OBJECT
[...] I THINK YOU AND I ARE DESTINED TO DO THIS FOREVER"

FORCE TIME... NO GOODBYE

Quote:

REY: "Don't do this, Ben... Please don't go this way" / KYLO: "No, no... You're still... Holding on! Let go"
LEIA: "I know, my son is gone..." / LUKE: "No-one's ever really gone"

Pablo Hidalgo (LucasFilm): "It’s 'The Godfather' shot of the door closing between Michael and Kay.”

"So, um... Does closing the door to the Falcon mean closing the door to their connection?"

Bonus! ADAM DRIVER INTERVIEWS DAISY RIDLEY for V Magazine 2017: Driving Miss Daisy

CRACKLING CHEMISTRY

Ian Freer (Empire Online): “A more assured Ridley stands toe-to-toe with [Mark Hamill as Luke], but is even better in her ‘relationship’ with Ben Solo. Johnson’s conception of their bond is potentially embarrassing: Ridley and Driver not only make it work, they make it gripping."
