HUMOR Pregnant Rey rumor, nonono don't go wait!

if the insane fanfict writers have their way, it's Ren who's pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen. : o p

 

I for one look forward for this "He said, she said" for the next year and a half...

 

Yes, so much yes . This is what makes the ride fun. Unfortunately some people have trouble in let these speculations go when the real thing starts.

 

I accidentally stumbled upon this rumor in a news article last night, and if I remember correctly, it explicitly stated that Rey becomes pregnant by someone other than Kylo, who has left the galaxy even worse off than the Empire left it with his regime in the 5 years since The Last Jedi. If you ask me, it sounds a little far-fetched.

Rey and Kylo’s personal journeys are far from finished, and personally, I feel like going this route would almost be forcing them to take on the Luke/Leia/Han roles of the next trilogy that may or may not happen before they’ve even finished their own. Even if there is a time gap, these characters still have personal conflicts of their own and stories that have not been finished.

Plus, the whole idea of Rey becoming pregnant simply through touching Kylo Ren’s hand is absolutely ridiculous, even more than the whole midichlorian thing, as others have suggested. I believe when Rian was talking about how that was the closest Star Wars ever came to a sex scene, he was referring to the emotional intimacy and vulnerability between the two characters. In that moment, they had connected and were able to understand each other through the Force in a way that previously has never been exhibited in a Star Wars film.

So, in short, I really feel like this is pretty far-fetched. If nothing else, Rey is the protagonist of this trilogy, and a damn good one at that. But look at a character like Padmé. After two films where she did a considerable amount of fighting, her pregnancy in Revenge of the Sith essentially rendered her useless. Lucasfilm isn’t going to want that for Rey, especially because physically, she wouldn’t be capable of fighting or doing many of the things she’s been able to do in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.

Believe me, there are way too many issues with this rumor for it to actually be plausible.

 

I am in agreement with you that Rey being pregnant in Episode IX is far-fetched. She will need to be in peak Jedi performance and also she will be physically challenged to help defeat the First Order, Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren. I can see her have a family of her own as an end epilogue scene (much like Samwise Gamgee in LOTR) to show that the Galaxy is at peace and that Rey finally was rewarded with the one thing she desired as a character. As to who the father of her children will be: Ben Solo, Poe Dameron or Finn, is yet to be seen. She could wind up going all in the Jedi Code and not be attached to having a family and focus in on training the next generation of Jedi. I just think Rey is the Obi-wan of this trilogy to Kylo Ren's Anakin/Darth Vader.

 

This is exactly how I feel. Well said!

 

I find it funny how so many people use the word "rumor." Like, as if it is from an inside source whose information may or may not be completely accurate and complete. Instead of, "I made up this speculation on an internet forum." It only takes a teenager 15 minutes of boredom to pull a paragraph of fan-fic out of his ass and post it as a "rumor". You should have seen some of the rumors from the prequel days; does anyone remember the "Yoda farts" one from Ep III?

 

I don't think Hollywood knows how to make pregnancy empowering on film in any way. It's sad, but pregnancy is under attack from left and right in different ways. For this reason alone, I don't see them doing this with Rey. I think there could be a way that it could be done great, but I don't think as a society, or as a production even, it could be made good, or accepted by the audience.

Put it this way, a Rey pregnancy would get attacked from the left because they'd accuse the writers of focusing on Rey's femininity in a too basic way that would undermine her power and warrior persona. The right would attack a Rey pregnancy by mocking the idea a pregnant or recently pregnant woman can fight, or should fight ect... It's a no win scenario. It would get bad press from every possible angle, I don't even state them all here.

There would be bad press over how she got pregnant (hand touching, virgin pregnancy, multi-racial Finn/Rey couple, abusive bf/hubby Kylo, artificial insemination, possibly lesbian relationship, Luke/Rey age gap ect...). In some cases they might applaud it, but it would still get some major resistance in many circles and probably cause a heck of a lot more divisiveness than we already have.

Maybe one day as a society we will be able to imagine pregnancy in a positive way (and maybe accept other peoples decisions without casting judgment), but right now society is too touchy. It's common practice for many women to bash pregnancy (whether they've been or not) while there are also unrealistic expectations put on women (from both some other women and men). Then of course there'd be question of parental rights, safety of the child and judging the character on their parental choices (as we now see with Qui-Gon and young Anakin) ect...

So even if they nailed the perfect scenario and it was acted amazingly well and every thing was well executed, it would still be divisive. Do we see her breast feed, or dare say breast feed in public, or not? If not in public, why not? Whatever choice they'd make it would divide and get backlash from certain groups.

 

Well the Reddit "Story Board Rumor" sed she already had the child & was around age 5. This made Kylo angry. Now y wood he get angry? Is it his or someone else?

 

The left would complain about making her a mom, the right would complain about her not telling Kylo (I'm assuming if he's mad it would be due to he being the dad). There would be a microscope on the parenting by both sides. Heck, abortion could come into discussion as to why she wouldn't abort Kylo's kid in such a volatile galaxy and the child being the focus of a mad man (and if abortion gets in the discussion, check reason and calm answers at the door). I'm sure there are dozens of other issues that would crop up.

On the other hand, maybe we get a spin off movie on how Rey infiltrates a sperm bank and steals Kylo's sperm to have his baby lmao.

Seriously though, just no. The only bright side to Rey's motherhood (at this point in the game) would be unifying all the fans, but unfortunately to the detriment of the franchise.

(If you like the idea, I apologize, I'm just so convinced that the idea in your head would not be realized and it would be executed horribly. I could be wrong, but I don't see it.)

 

I’m usually of the opinion that children and Star Wars don’t go together, but I feel that a storyline with a baby or child could be “the bomb” used for the redemption of Kylo Ren. After all he has childhood issues.

Probably all this baby story is dribble but I could see it working if there was a context for it.

 

I'm 100% Anti Reylo, but assuming JJ doesn't do a "back at ya" to RJ & makes Rey a Skywalker clone, the only way the Chosen Family lives on is if Rey & Ren (insert thoughts here).

 

Of course JJ won't go back from Reylo. He's (and Kasdan too) the inventor of Reylo. But maybe the "chosen" Family doesn't need to prevail after all. Just saying.

 

In the jungle, the mighty jungle....

 

"One of the new realtionships we are focusing on was between Kylo Ren and Rey."
"[...] a character who she's gonna very interesting relationship with moving forward."
"Because he's taking her, you get the sense that there might be something else going on here."
"You're probably going to have a castle and a prince and a princess if you're looking at a fairy tale. We wanted to give these sort of, fundamental, not cosmetic, but, sort of prerequisite elements."
"But in this scene Rey is drawn to this place (inside Maz's castle), almost like Cinderella." (=> JJ calls Kylo a prince)
- JJ Abrams

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of Reylo myself, but you simply can't deny the fact that JJ hinted at it from the get go.

Furthermore Rian finished writing TLJ before TFA even hit the theaters. So there was no fan theory pleasing... Rian built on Reylo because it was set up by the previous movie and not the fans.

 

Relationships go 2 ways. Good or bad.

 

"It's much bigger." In a healthy relationship there are good, but also bad times.

 

Ahhh NinjaRen my good friend. I'm cut from the OT cloth. Good, bad no in between. I can see your cut from the ST cloth. Shades of grey.

You are what I grow beyond!

 

Well its definitey bold. Though representing the only two pregnant women in star wars as immaculate would be a rather weird choice for me. I also didn't know that the touching of hands was according to RJ the "closest to a sex we will ever see in Star Wars."

But come to think of it: when they touch, he does use orgasmic imagery:

I hope I'm not reading to much in this in reference to RJ's comment
