    But we see soon after that the projection is just this - a projection. It has no weight, no substance and cannot affect the surrounding environment. People need to accept that Snoke is as dead as Palpatine. There was a point of showing his grotesque face when Hux was inside the throne room - to show that he is truly dead and won't escape like Maul did.

    What if force possession is the dark side version of force projection?

    Half of him fell on the floor, how could he possibly survive? What, like a force ghost? Darksiders can't be force ghosts.
    And it's obvious that he lied, because he only realizes that the connection exists after Rey tells him that he underestimates Ben Solo. He asks if she saw some weakness in his apprentice, which is something that he should have already been aware of if he knew about the connection. He should have known about their conversations etc. But he didn't, so he puts 2 and 2 together on the spot and comes up with that lie to undermine Rey's confidence and make himself look stronger.

    Are you sure?

    PS. Don't forget that not only Snoke's lower half is missing, but also one of his arms. I'd love to see him crawl around the remains of The Supremacy without anyone noticing, but this won't happen because he's dead. I don't think we need a singing Munchkin coroner to confirm that.

    I saw the odd little hint to ReyFinn but no real romance. The actors themselves even said they didn’t play it romantically and Daisy said they are like siblings.

    The ST is an allegory for the journey through adolescence. In this case, in essence, it is about the nice girl falling for the bad boy and all the issues that relate to that.

    scenarios i want played out in the gap between episode 8 and 9 in the form of stories

    - Hux urging Kylo to make an advantageous political marriage to solidify his leadership of the galaxy and gain the First Order some badly needed funds, but Kylo refusing to play ball because he will never be over Rey. Amusing scenarios where Hux attempts to steer Kylo into disastrous matches with wealthy heiresses ensue, sending Kylo into a spiral of misery.

    - Unbeknownst to the First Order or the Resistance, Rey and Kylo arrange to do a covert deal over their Force bond and engineer an in-person meeting at a high-society function that requires them both to wear gorgeous and extravagant formalwear.

    - Rey and Kylo getting conspicuously sentimental over propaganda posters showing the likeness of the other person (it’s particularly easy to envisage Kylo maintaining a private collection of Rey memorabilia).

    - Kylo attempting to impress Rey with decrees and edicts that he thinks will appeal to her, only for her to be horrified by his interpretations of her wishes (for example, I could see Kylo going after Unkar Plutt and arranging for his public execution to be broadcast over the Holonet).

    - Kylo issuing an obscenely large reward for Rey’s capture and her re-activating the Bond purely to tick him off for causing her no end of bother in the form of legions of bounty hunters chasing her across the galaxy.

    - Kylo inviting Rey to the Lake Retreat of the Naberrie family on Naboo (under the pretext of a diplomatic discussion) and clumsily attempting to re-enact his grandparents’ courtship, with variable results.

    I too thought TFA was setting us up for a Finn & Rey romance. It feels like RJ created Rose just so he could push a potential Rey/Kylo romance.

    True. Both John and Daisy had confirmed a while back that Rey and Finn are just friends and that their relationship is like one of siblings. It may have started out a bit flirtatious on his part in TFA, but I think the Reylo thing got more popular or perhaps the directors had always planned them to have that kind of connection. I think in Ep IX she either ends up alone/single or she has a subtle romance with Ben/Kylo assuming he reforms for good.

    I would like to see more of these ReyLo sessions myself. I thought it some of the best stuff in TLJ.

    Why would healthy be boring. It was nice to see a male and female complimenting one another. Unhealthy relationships are boring, because they always show that.

    How about using a clone of himself?

    Palpatine actually had clones of himself (in the comics)
    That could be a possibility.

    Nobody came in contact with him after his death. I'm just saying they've planted a seed to allow J.J. a little bit of creative freedom. I think either way is a win, win. I actually think Snoke is a terrible idea for a villain and I hope he is dead. One of the characteristics that made this film great was how things were unpredictable and I hope it continues with IX.

    Jesus Christ.

    Did you just insinuate that @Porgtastic was being racist jut because she likes Rey and Kylo together? That's appalling.

    On purpose.

    I don't have the energy to engage with the hyperbolic bullcrap that people pull.

    KyLO RiN Is a raePIST and aLL """"reylos"""" are R A C I S T.

    Sure, jan. Whatever helps you with the knowledge that canon Finnrey is deader than the dinos.

    It's okay, I'm not taking her (implied?) accusation serious,
    I'm sure that some people are quite disappointed that FinnRey didn't go the way they wanted it to go.
    People do not always think rational when they are disappointed.

    To make one thing clear, my being a Reylo fan has NOTHING to do with racism, but with preference.

    I got nothing against John Boyega because he's doing an excellent job as Finn.
    But I AM an Adam Driver fan first.


    I'm off topic btw, sorry for that.
    just needed to make something clear.

    Oil for your fires:


    PS
    Psychological fact-searching about the Reylo phenomenon does in no way reflect the desires or wishes of this unit.
    I denounce and reject myself for the implication.
