I just like Reylo Kay?

Fact being I thought I was the only one hoping for this ship to set sail. Fact is I knew to come to tumblr to see I wasn't the only one

I hope you find love in 2017!

I threw up at a frat party and I was crying in the bathroom and a drunk girl went upstairs to get me a shirt and came back with a sweater and a kitten.

a drunk girl drew an eye on the back of my hand and then patted it with satisfaction and  whispered “count olaf”

once at a barbecue a drunk girl gave the surgical scar on my shoulder a butterfly kiss and said “you’re cured”

[erincrocodile-deactivated202006]

A drunk girl at a bar I was at became worried that I wasn’t getting enough nutrition and proceeded to hold peanuts to my lips and just keep saying “peanut peanut” until I would eat it. And after I allowed her to feed me a peanut she pet my hair and said “Thank you”.

Parallels - Force Awakens/Revenge of the Sith

I have seen several parallels made between the climatic fights of Revenge of the Sith and The Force Awakens, but I haven’t seen this particular comparison made - instead of focusing on Rey as a parallel for Obi-Wan Kenobi, I’m going to focus on Rey as a parallel for Padmé Amidala.

While the circumstances are very different, it’s striking to me that in both fights you have the young male villain/anti-hero rendering the heroine unconscious (in an act of reprehensible and emotion-driven violence) and then fighting her male companion. Here you have Padmé:

And here you have Rey:

And when confronted with the heroic male figure (Obi-Wan in ROTS, Finn in TFA), who is only seeking to protect the heroine, Anakin does this (”you will not take her from me!”):

And Kylo does this (”TRAITOR!”):

These moments are echoes of each other, and they demonstrate characters acting for broadly similar reasons. Anakin and Kylo are motivated by their respective obsessions with Padmé and Rey, and they are driven to a pique of rage and anger when they believe that their control over the object of their obsession has been compromised - Anakin and Kylo perceive Obi-Wan and Finn as thieves and traitors, rivals intent on denying them the object of their obsession. 

Paranoid and tormented, both characters appear to be characterised by some level of sexual jealousy - this is explicit in ROTS (where characters expound on the precise nature of their feelings via intermittently painful dialogue) and implicit in TFA (where there is greater ambiguity, and we have to rely more on interpretation of characters’ expressions, body language and delivery). 

The greatest thing about this, however, is that Rey isn’t consigned to Padmé’s ignominious fate - she isn’t left to languish in the snow, instead recovering consciousness and taking over the fight herself. Instead of showing two men fighting over a helpless and unconscious woman, the climax of The Force Awakens shows the heroine recovering and fighting the villain to re-establish her agency and control over the situation. And that’s the best thing about parallels - they become most interesting at the point where they diverge.

Reylo IS canon

…and it’s time for me to convince everyone else. This will be spread out through several blog posts, but here three starting points of evidence as to why Reylo is and will be canon in the upcoming Star Wars films:

1. The visual and narrative parallels to Bastila Shawn and Darth Revan from KOTOR.

If you don’t know about these two romantic characters from the EU, I suggest you familiarize yourself with them. There are simply too many parallels between these two and Rey and Kylo Ren for the writers of the new Star Wars films to not have taken at least SOME inspiration from them. Bastila and Revan are at first enemies on either side of the Force and gradually fall in love. They also share a Force bond. In the new Star Wars film, Kylo’s line “don’t be afraid, I feel it too” is indirectly telling us that he and Rey share a Force bond. In the script, it further explains that Rey and Ren recognize “an energy in each other,” which we will in the next film find out is in fact their Force bond. The Force bond is subtly apparent at the end of Rey and Kylo’s fight: when their sabers are locked, their minds are on some level connecting, and she learns some things from him: aka how to fight with a lightsaber. See how she unnecessarily twirls her lightsaber when she cuts Kylo’s face? That’s his move. Where do you think she suddenly learned that? From Kylo. The teaching has already begun. Also, Kylo Re(va)n –it’s in the name. Especially because they are obvious character foils of each other, the names Kylo Ren and Rey may also be an anagram: Kylo Ren and Rey Kenobi. Just let that sink in a few moments.

2. Subtle (and Not so Subtle) Acting Add-ins.

If you think Kylo Ren and Rey are cousins, I would encourage you to revisit the movie again. I’d like you to pay close attention to Kylo’s eyes during the interrogation scene. He’s already been staring at her for God knows how long when she’s unconscious in the chair. Once he reveals himself and moves closer to her, his eyes have a tranced look, especially when he’s studying the side of Rey’s face and very nearly touches her as if he’s smitten by her. Also, dare I mention the BRIDAL CARRY. If you haven’t read this post: https://ohtze.tumblr.com/post/137735730948/death-and-the-maiden then you’re just keeping yourself from the truth. As a student of literature, it is my jobto look for narrative tropes and archetypes, and in literature and film a bridal carry screams an ongoing or foreshadowed sexual relationship. Why else do you think JJ Abrams would have decided to add in the bridal carry to the first interaction between Rey and Kylo in TFA? It wasn’t in the original script. He’s outright setting up the characters’ future romantic relationship (even if it ends up one-sided on Ren’s side). Sorry to burst your bubble if you don’t ship Reylo, but there’s no other reason why Kylo’s bridal carrying of Rey would have been included in the film.

3. Rey Giving Luke the Lightsaber.

As for whether Rey is Luke’s daughter, well, she’s definitely not. Rey is the granddaughter of Ben Kenobi, that’s what TFA told me. She’s bringing Luke his rightful lightsaber just as Ben Kenobi did in Episode 4. As for why it called to her and not Kylo? It called to her because it knew she could bring it back to Luke, not Kylo. And remember, JJ is famous for his mystery boxes and red herrings. Everything indicating that Rey is Luke’s daughter? Yeah, those are absolutely purposeful. But they are designed to mislead. Can you imagine how anticlimactic it would be if Luke were to be Rey’s father? Narratively, in the context of the movies being a trilogy, it simply doesn’t work. There would be no good story arc. After all, the sexual connotations within the interactions and visual representations of Rey and Kylo already tell you they’re not cousins. Kylo has already rejected his immediate family–you really think that a measly cousinwill sidetrack him? In the context of the narrative, that just wouldn’t make sense. And I mean come on, Rey fighting her evil cousin? Where’s the emotional weight in that?

As much as I love Reylo I think it won’t happen especially with all these antis trying to manipulate the fandom and producers on hating the ship. Sad because they have potential and chemistry all together. Plus they’re beautiful. What a waste of great romance would it be if they get manipulated by these antis though.

[hello-reylux-deactivated2019051]

OH HO HO

We would be underestimating the producers i.e. THE GREAT J.J. ABRAMS and giving these antis copious credit if we believe they can even affect one iota of Star Wars.

No, I swear. Star Wars already has everything written down from beginning till the end: From the moment Lor San Tekka gave Poe the map in Episode VII, up until the last scene of Episode IX.

Or I wouldn’t spend so much time making meta trying to figure out what they’re up to. (Notably, all the substantial, not just the speculative, meta I’ve read supports Reylo.)

They might even already have ideas for Episode X *cough*GRAYJEDI*cough*

Honestly,

Believe in Star Wars.
