    AMAZING the first time.

    It lost a little emotion in my second viewing. I'm putting it down to the kid who decided to yell BOOM! at the top of his lungs right as she hit Snoke's ship. The poor kid didn't expect the soundtrack to cut to space mics in a vacuum. Unfortunately Laura lost that moment to five seconds filled only with the sound of an audience laughing.

    Maybe wrong scene...

    Reylo isn't dead, but it's not really alive either. Not a zombie, but just a shambling concept needing extremely good writing to work. And we have JJ "I love writing cringey romances" Abrams! At the helm for IX. Wcgw?

    Aside from that, I deff found some romantic undertones in their scenes throughout TLJ, and it's ambiguous if the whole force bond is really still there at the end.

    Then Kylo went and f*cked it up in the throne room

    Finn and Rose kissed you guys, and in modern Disney speak that means they're already soul mates who will be in love forever! Finnrey is dead.

    Holdo scene was BAMF. I liked her as a character.

    ReyLo (ugh can we please rename it) romantic or not is the underlying theme of this trilogy. That much is certain.
    She knows him in a way that no one else can and vice versa. He understands her in a way that no one else can. Her light was born as an answer to his darkness. They share a forcebond and that final scene where Kylo looks up and sees Rey far away inside the Millenium Falcon basically confirms that it lives even through all the tumult and even past Snoke's death.
    The forcebond endures. There's a reason they wrote it in.
    This follows the template of so many romances- first you have the suggestion of interest (in TFA), intensification (in TLJ), conflict (in the end) and the resolution (Episode 9). I've seen people compare it to Jane Eyre or Pride and Prejudice (imba darcy never killed anyone yeah neither has Elizabeth Bennet it's not literal you clown)
    Him asking her to join him is the first proposal that the heroine rejects. It's the moment when Jane Eyre leaves after finding out that Mr. Rochester still has a living wife. It's when Han get's frozen in carbonite and we see no hope for Leia and Han. It's the lowest moment in their story. Hopeless. And we all know how those stories ended.

    First of all, can you re edit your comment to put my spoiler about the throne room in a box?

    Sorry, when I say Reylo I mean romance. Because it seems like a cringey ship name to me too.
    Otherwise I just say Rey and Kylo.

    I thought that when he picked up the dice it served as a conduit, and that last scene was meant to highlight how he'd f*cked it up and killed being close to her unless a miracle happens. Save us JJ you "great" relationship, romance or not, writer!

    If there's resolution in IX following your structure, I hope we see them banging! Like lighting off fireworks together, not that other thing:p

    JJ Abrams isn't bad as a director. He's just a bad ideas guy. The scriptwriter is another dude -Chris Terrio. But that scares me more than any JJ Abrams bland script ever could. This is the dude that wrote BvS and Justice League. I'm desperately hoping that they replace him in time for Epi 9 because if I see a Martha scene in my Star Wars, you best believe I'm gonna cry a lot. In a bad way. Hopefully, JJ's propensity to play it safe will act as a counterbalance to Chris Terrio's balls to wall madness

    I firmly believe that they won't end the Skywalker Saga on a tragic note where everyone's dead and it's all despondent and hopeless. That's how you end the middle chapter, not the final one.

    Chris Terrio did an okay script for Argo and suddenly he's everyone's favourite writer. Guy makes me cringe. Please watch Star Trek into darkness, you'll understand why I find JJ's romance writing bad. I like him as a director if he's given a simple film, like TFA being the first part of a trilogy, but with IX he has to deal with baggage from two films and he's not exactly exemplary if he has too much to deal with.

    Maybe they will end IX with a dance party and Kylo and Rey doing the robot dance! It'd be really hopeful and happy, and fit Chris Terrio's writing.

    When Chris Terrio was announced as the scriptwriter for Episode 9 I legit stared at the screen for a minute and then whispered: "what the blast". Kathy Kennedy, I love you girl, but you need to Treverrow his arse.
    I'm terrified of what JJ will do. But I have hope. The set up is so absolutely beautiful. It's tragic and dramatic and if done right, it could go down as a classic. But jesus, Terrio is gonna chew it up and spit it out if left unsupervised

    At least we didn't get Treverrow AND Terrio. The awfulness of their combined bad writing would've collapsed the space time continuum, and might've achieved an even worse remarkable feat, something worse than the prequels. Rey and Ren probably would've had hour long staring contest scenes, meant to be "romantic" by virtue of sharing eye contact.

    At least with JJ we get a competently shot film. It'll probably be "okay"; nothing great, but hopefully not too bad.

    I think the fandom needs JJ's familiarity after the chaotic neutral that is Rian Johnson. What a mad cap. Love him. Trevorrow isn't invited to the SW party and hopefully, Kathy Club Bouncer Kennedy will boot Terrio off the yacht too

    I'm gonna need more beefcake in the next movie JJ DELIVER

    Thats why I prefer TLJ over TFA. Much stronger acting and scene direction, and more risks (as "risky" as a Disney film can be) than what JJ would've done. I prefer RJ over him by a loooong mile. I'm not bashing JJ, I think he's a decent director. But RJ I just prefer in so many ways.

    Trevorrow ruined Jurassic park for me. Hopefully they exile him from Disney completely after Jurassic World 2 gets torn apart by critics, but if it makes boatloads of money, I doubt it.

    Can we change this post to ReyPoe? I think ReyLo is over, the ending made it clear IMO.

    If you want a ReyPoe thread make it. This is for those who still believe, like myself. Though I wouldn't mind ReyPoe.

    I know, this was more of a tongue and cheek reply. I think we need more information before there is a post about it.

    So IS Reylo dead? Come on people, this meant to be a shipping thread! We need crazy memes and some rabid fangirls/boys up in here! And maybe some pictures of Kylo’s eight pack!

    O yeah. Not only is ReyBen (or Reylo or whatever we are going to call it) alive, but it is sort of a big deal in this trilogy - like it or not.

    For your consideration.


    #SpaceKissInIX is totally happening. Like, you can take it to the bank, happening.
