Hmm. New leaks indicate Luke will appear to rey and Kylo as a Force Ghost in a callback to the last scene of ROTJ. I don’t like it. At best it means Kylo and Rey are related and he got some bullshit redemption. At worst it means some bullshit romance blessed by Luke’s ghost will happen between Rey and Kylo but the movie ends with them making eyes at each other. I don’t want to believe they’d go there but I will never trust Lucasfilm again after TLJ.

I’d be disappointed if it happens that way, too, but I also have no idea if this is a credible leak or on the level of the Leia’s death/reylow baby bullshit.

is it weird that i know what rian was trying to do with poe at the beginning but i’m also fully aware that logically poe was right anyway? like, if poe hadn’t gone ahead with the attack on the dreadnaught the movie would have been over before they even made the first hyperspeed jump. rian’s an idiot.

I thought Poe was in the right, too, and more importantly, Leia let the attack with the bombers go forward so it felt really weird that she blamed him for how the mission went.

What AU scenario would be more unlikely and ridiculous: Yoda going to the dark side or Palpatine becoming a better person?

The latter by far. That green puppet has done so much harm I’m half ready to believe he’s already Dark Side anyway. At the very least his puritan authoritarianism helped push Anakin toward Palpatine, which is more of a coup for the Dark Side than most actual Sith ever achieved.

Also, like, he legit used Force Lightning from beyond his swampy little grave cackling about burning ancient Jedi texts. It’s not even subtle at this point.

I disagree about Vader’s motive being unclear when he was the main villain (he wasn’t in ANH). In TESB, he wanted to bring Luke over to his side out of parental love; in RotJ, he was sent into a depressive phase by Luke’s rejection and stayed there until snapping out of it to save him. I think it’s reasonably straightforward; additionally, he had no known backstory at first, while we can get the basics of Kylo’s backstory, and it doesn’t seem compatible with his character.

Kylo Ren’s motivation is clear in the sequel trilogy, too. He wants power. He wants to end the old ways and reshape the universe in his image. Do you find it so unbelievable that a privileged boy who grew up with every advantage, who has it constantly reinforced that he is special from birth and is destined to save the universe, then sets out to do just that? Except the belief in his own specialness mutates, in an extreme but logical way, into a monstrous conviction in blood supremacy and rule by the “right” kind of people? I find it all too believable, personally.

This may sound controversial but I ship reylo, sigh. But that won’t stop me from respecting peoples opinion not to, actually I encourage people to ship whatever they want. It’d be so boring if everyone liked the same thing. All i want is for people to actively respect everyone’s opinion and choice for shipping something. I’m so sorry if it seems like I’m aiming this at you or others I know many people haven’t done anything wrong, that isn’t my intent at all I just want to find common ground. xx

If shipping reylow is a choice, so is the choice not to ship it and to push back/laugh at some of the horrible/laughable opinions coming out of that fandom. Ship whatever you like and I certainly don’t believe in hassling people just for what they ship. But saying that it’s your opinion doesn’t make it immune to disagreement, nor does disagreement equal disrespect.
