Yin/Yang ◐ Rey/Ben {STAR WARS} #1: "I will always be with you."
Welcome to the Ben Solo ♥ Rey { REYLO } Appreciation Thread Reylo Appreciation thread on the Star Wars board HERE "If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?" -- from DISNEY's 'BEAUTY & THE BEAST' KYLO: "YOU STILL WANT TO KILL ME?" REY: "THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE BEING HUNTED BY A CREATURE IN A MASK..." KYLO: "WHEN YOU CALLED ME A MONSTER -" REY: "YOU ARE A MONSTER" KYLO: "...YES, I AM" "Love doesn't lead to the dark side. Passion can lead to rage and fear, and can be controlled, but passion is not the same thing as love. Controlling your passions while being in love, that's what they should teach you to beware, but love itself will save you, not condemn you." — Jolee Bindo, Knights of the Old Republic The Red Thread of Fate ~ DESTINED FLAMES An Ancient Chinese Belief ‘An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.’ Mind Readers | Cliffhangers | Force Skype Yin and Yang | Force Dyad | Power Couple Yin Meets Yang | Yin and Yang – Balance in Relationships Names Courtesy of Rian Johnson, via THE LAST JEDI Blu-ray Commentary ~ PAINFULLY INTIMATE | PRIMAL CONNECTION | OUR HEROES TRUE EQUALS | BACK-TO-BACK | COMPLICATED ENEMIES 'Journal of the Whills' (Poetry 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} Chapter 1 ~ Who's That Girl? Focus, Fate and Fascination 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." Parallels: The Monster Bridal Carry Igniting The Spark 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 THAT 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." ♥ ♥ Finding the Force in the Forest 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} Chapter 2 ~ You Are Not Alone. ♥ Frenzied Force Face-Time KYLO: "CAN YOU SEE MY SURROUNDINGS? I CAN'T SEE YOURS... JUST YOU" Joshua Rothkopf {TimeOut, New York}: "Johnson creates a mystical form of FaceTime between Rey and Kylo Ren. Their running conversation hints at the inevitability of their meeting in the flesh; it even vibrates with a sexual charge. Star Wars has long been a form of Wagnerian opera, but rarely has it treated space and time this pliably." 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!"" Tom Shone (Sunday Times): "Think of it as the Force’s answer to texting. Soon they are at it like teenagers." Rian Johnson {TLJ Special Features}: "I needed Rey and Kylo to talk, during the course of the film. I knew that I wanted to develop a relationship between them." The Man Behind The Mask KYLO: "WHY IS THE FORCE CONNECTING US? YOU AND I? [...] YOU HAVE THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES, FROM THE FOREST" 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.”" Rian Johnson {TLJ Blu-Ray Commentary}: "[Adam and Daisy] were never not off-camera for each other." Parallels: Parental Guidance ♫ 'Fire in the Water' ♫ REY: "IT ISN'T TOO LATE." Tom Shone: "The lightsabers are not the only thing giving off extra heat these days." The New Paper: "The push and pull plays out like a seduction, and their palpable chemistry makes it all work." Parallels: Soul-Searching "His gaze was hungry, and knowing." [TLJ Novel] REY: "I'D RATHER NOT DO THIS NOW" KYLO: "YEAH, ME TOO" REY: "WHY DID YOU HATE YOUR FATHER? GIVE ME AN HONEST ANSWER" KYLO: "I DIDN'T HATE HIM" Michael Semanick: "There’s one time when the force connection catches them off guard — when Kylo had just gotten done working out and Rey was walking somewhere..." Rian Johnson: "...The unavoidable intimate conversation with this person that she wants to just hate." Matt Martin (LucasFilm): "He actually spent a lot of time shirtless, just hoping for that connection to kick in." ♫ Every Time We Touch, I Get This Feeling... ♫ REY: "I'VE NEVER FELT SO ALONE" KYLO: "YOU'RE NOT ALONE" REY: "NEITHER ARE YOU" Michael Semanick: "Rian wanted the rain and fire to peel away as their hands were getting closer. Having a big sound there just didn’t have the intimacy that the scene demanded. It can be so hard to get the balance right to where the audience is feeling the same thing as the characters. I wanted the audience to lean in and feel those hands about to connect. When you take the sound out and the music out, then it’s just two hands coming together slowly. It was about finding that balance to make the audience feel like they’re in that moment, in that little hut, and they’re about to touch and see into each other’s souls, so to speak. That was a challenge, but it was fun because when you get it, and you see the audience react, everyone feels good about that scene." LA Times to Rian: "So … is this the first time Kylo has ever held hands with a girl?" Rian Johnson: "I actually talked about that with Adam. Adam was like, “So … have I actually kissed a girl before?” Daisy Ridley {TLJ Special Features, 'The Director & The Jedi'}: "It’s only when they touch that either of them actually see what could be. And through that they build this kind of incredible intimacy. Luke should be the one nurturing Rey, and it’s actually Kylo that is." "I've been Waiting for You." Eternal Struggle REY: "BEN [...] YOU'LL TURN. I'LL HELP YOU. I'VE SEEN IT" KYLO: "I SAW SOMETHING TOO [...] REY" 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." Tom Shone: "The subtitle of this movie ought to have been Inter-Galactic Bad Boys and the Women Who Love Them." Parallels: "Why do we Fall? So we can Learn to pick ourselves Up." Team Work KYLO: "I KNOW WHAT I HAVE TO DO." REY: "BEN!" Tom Shone: "There’s one great scene where they briefly join forces and slay a roomful of Snoke’s lieutenants that is just crying out for a climactic, blood-drenched kiss." 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."

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." Ben Morris (The Last Jedi VFX Supervisor): "They just had this horrific fight, but Rian wanted this incredible intimacy and this cascading, twinkling waterfall of sparks from the fight before. I think it's beautifully executed and it gives such ambiance to that moment, as they come together and have a conversation, before they tear the saber in half."

How had Rey not noticed before that he had the long face and posture of his father, the warm brown eyes of his mother?' Adam Driver: "There's no more ambiguity [...] Ben finally knows his purpose or destiny. He has to let her know that they're together." Rae Carson: 'Ben pulled her against his chest and hugged her to himself for a moment. He'd just found her, really found her. He'd wasted his life, he knew that now. [...] Ben poured everything into her. He found reservoirs he didn't know he had. He gave her his whole self.' 'She was glad to see him. Glad to be with him in this moment.

The duality concept in Rey having originally worn Kylo's mask in the RISE OF SKYWALKER artwork and the potential in that shared darkness
What a wasted opportunity. Rey was a Palpatine and they did NOTHING with it... They just had her replace the name with Skywalker. __________________

Thank you for opening this thread
Tros was just a disappointment overall, the only thing I liked was that Reylo was canon for 5 seconds |

Yep me too hun I mean it was HUGE that they even gave us that. But yep, movie-wise, it pretty much sucked. Ben Solo was killed exactly like his grandfather. There was no progression in the overall saga and it just sent the message that Skywalkers are doomed. __________________

Name a redeemed villain who looked more soft or terrified when holding the body of his great love than Ben Solo And also determined to sacrifice himself to bring her back

Epic scene (with LITERAL sparks around them!) in The Last Jedi of Kylo attempting to shed his Ben persona and persuade Rey to join him on the throne -
Take note of his immediate anger when Rey pleads with him not to "go this way"; his defenses are up and he tries to convince himself as much as her that the good side is not for him. 'Thou doth protest too much' comes to mind. __________________

This video is DEFINITELY worth watching
Josh has been one of the best cast interviewers since the TWILIGHT era (one to never judge and always engaging in polite discourse). He and Daisy make SEVERAL brilliant Adam Driver and Reylo references in this __________________

I cannot stress enough how ridiculous it is that the marketing department for RISE OF SKYWALKER manipulated audiences into believing we would witness a relationship of equals, showing clips of Kylo/Ben and Rey at one with each other, only for Palpatine to lightning-strike Ben down a pit where he broke all his bones to the point of near-death and then he has to climb out of a pit only to face his actual death by (ironically) reviving Rey. And people still have the nerve to say that he was a selfish/cruel character JJ Abrams and Chris Terrio will forever be in my bad books for this.

I love that many fans are committed to the idea that somewhere, somehow, these soulmates will be reunited
Not sure that it will ever happen in a film again, but perhaps in reading material I would imagine that author Claudia Gray (who wrote a Leia book and various other SW novels) would write them well, just saying __________________

This tweet is SO true and it's disgusting that a series that was once so respectful of family tree / generations of bloodlines (at least in the George Lucas perspective) has basically turned its back on it.
Why? I guess because JJ Abrams and Chris Terrio were too afraid to let a redeemed complex villain live. Because they allowed the 'redemption = death' believers dictate it all. They pretended as if Rey wasn't alive because of Ben in the end. __________________
