    You forgot this:
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    "I’ve got to imagine people will occasionally ask you something about Rey’s parents, since that’s such an essential Star Wars mystery. What else do you get asked, when they do ask?

    Daisy Ridley: Well, the big thing on social media is Reylo [fan art featuring romantic coupling of Rey and Kylo Ren]. I think people are interested in the romance of it, and if anything romantic is going to happen. So yeah I’d say parents first and then that.

    So what are your feelings on Reylo?

    It’s kind of amazing to me, because it’s young people that have been talking about it. It’s weird, when I was on social media — and I still do follow the Instagram stuff, if anyone’s reading this, I do follow it — but these 12-, 13-year-old girls and boys are having these really interesting conversations about abuse and manipulation and chemistry and connection. So it’s actually kind of eye-opening. I don’t think at that age I would’ve thought so deeply about something like that. So to see kids have conversations like that I think is really cool, regardless of where it ends up it’s the conversation that’s really interesting."

    They wouldn't touch this topic if it were happening. And it is not.

    Whether it's happening or not is not even the point. Even if it never does, the fact that the crew approves is a pretty huge flashing red sign that the Reylo witch-hunt some of you are doing is extremely exaggerated, unless you believe that Ridley and co are no good misogynist bastards as well. It's not everyone's cup of tea, cool. No reason to assign traits to people on the basis of disagreement though.

    Oh and liking Reylo art = 100% not happening, openly debunking Rey Solo = totally happening? :D

    Yet they'd have the son of a mass murdering monster love his father?

    They'd be willing to have an incestuous kiss between a brother and sister so to allow the better story to be told?

    And they'd stick the leading lady in a slave girl outfit and have her be made into a giant slugs plaything?

    M'kay, whatever you say sir.

    More like they find the believers "useful idiots" (the Russian concept) to hide what the real story is. They're NDA'ed and are not supposed to say.

    As for Ridley, she has a past as a '[REDACTED]child' ('spellbound by the [REDACTED]') so she might be personally into this type of disgusting garbage.

    Eh?

    Anyway, interesting how in TFA concept art they had the female Sith villain (who's master was Snoke like) seduce a young jedi:

    IMG_1465.JPG

    But no, you're right -they'd never consider having a hero and villain in a relationship... :rolleyes:

    I may be off base here but it does strike me as interesting that they release Beauty and The Beast in the same year as TLJ...

    Are those sick [REDACTED] Disney preparing the young audience for something?

    Concept art isn't canon. Talon doesn't exist. They moved on from that character real fast.

    A character can be tricked by an evildoer like Bruce Wayne was by 'Miranda Tate' in The Dark Knight Rises.

    Or like Finn might be by Kelly Marie Tran's character for all we know...

    TFA was a quite a bit more like the Wizard of Oz, in a different way than ANH was like The Wizard of Oz as George Lucas liked to say about that movie.

    Too bad the Witch didn't live so the Tumblr nuts could ship the Witch and Dorothy.

    It's just you were saying that it's disgusting and they wouldn't touch the idea...yet it was in their concept art book...

    A sexual encounter between a Sith and a Jedi. What's funny is that what "we're" proposing with ReyLo is far softer than that!

    Clearly, people who were involved in coming up with story ideas were looking at this concept. And these concepts were formed at a time before Kylo Ren and Rey's characters were cemented. Thus is it a stretch to imagine that they may have included some of these concepts for their characters? The cast seems ok with it. The designers seemed for it. A huge fan base are up for it. And Kylo Ren's hair do is certainly primed for it.

    Now imagine if the TLJ trailer does drop with Beauty and the Beast release! Oopsy.

    Absolutely coincidental Emma Watson Rey inspired hairdo and outfit for Beauty and the Beast red carpet from 4 days ago...

    Regarding the whole "the cast/crew liking this thing confirms my theory" line of thinking: fan art is fan art. Not a declaration of what will absolutely happen in a few months or years. And since it's just fans making stuff up, the creators have free reign to look at it and appreciate it, even if it doesn't match up with what's actually going to happen.

    From another angle, I absolutely despise the idea of Reylo (because Ben is an abusive, creepy dick, and to me, it would be more interesting that they develop his character in a way that isn't all about "he fell in love with the girl so he's good now") and I thought that the Instagram post about them cutting their wedding cake was hilarious. Who is to say that Daisy Ridley didn't think something along those lines when she hit the "like" button?

    ReyLo is so clearly a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. So many of the same tropes and similar dialogue.

    I'm saying it once, and after that, something else is going to have to happen.

    Enough with the ad hominem attacks. Spirited discussion and debate is just fine. Personal attacks are not. Cut it out.

    (I don't feel like I should have to name names on this - but then again, I also don't feel like I should have to explain (yet again) that personal attacks are unacceptable.)

    None of us are saying it's proof, just that the idea itself isn't "disgusting" and something that they "wouldn't touch".
