*sighs* hello.
here, have some hurt/comfort reylo.
you're welcome.
Reylo being the heart of Star Wars (much like Anidala before them) is showcased beautifully in TLJ & barely there in TROS.
I'll never understand how incompetent JJ Abrams is at making a fucking Star Wars movie. Like I'm sitting here thinking "How tf is this dude still making movies??? Why is he the definition of boring? Why is he so blind to how Rian Johnson almost saved The Sequel Trilogy by fixing the mess you made"

College Reylo
After Ben's death Rey becomes a workaholic. She throws herself fully at her work to avoid greiving and feeling the half of herself missing. She knows hes gone, but doesn't want to face the fact fully. It all boils over years later when someone approches needing directions to get around the newly rebuilt republic. he looks so similar to ben that she finds herself feeling sad and looking at him for to long. Her fortress she built around herself to protect against reality crumbles a little revealing the hole in her heart. Her need for him is still there, she wants to act like its not but can't help it. She needs him to be standing in front of her she needs to feel the comfort and the sense of home she felt on Exegol before it was ripped away without warning. But the stranger isn't ben, he isn't here she starts to feel the coldness again and lonelyness that ate away at her for years before he appeared.
Hoooooooo boy once I get the hang of animating again and stop being the slowest and most easily distracted artist on the face of the earth it’s OVER for the Reylos 😤
and this is actually how tros ends! wow trilogy finished what a happy ending
Ben and Uncle Luke
When [Ben] says "Join me," and then..."Please," in that really beautiful, you know, distinctive, intimate way. I feel you could've ended the movie there[.] It felt like the "I love you," "I know" moment to me. Not that he was declaring his love for her in that moment, but that he was saying, "I need you. I really need you. [...] I can't exist without you, and if you don't come with me, I'm not sure I can do it."
--Leslye Headland (House of R podcast)
Ben Solo and Rey: dyad in the force. Two that are one. One soul, force whatever you wanna call it split into two bodies.
TRoS acting like it makes total logical sense: Well, I guess we should kill one of the halves!
