Ben Solo Deserved Better

[lux-astralis]

a quick visual guide to the enemies to lovers trope because a lot of y’all are confused

[dvrkren]

ben solo didn’t go through that much to just die and have his identity stolen so dlf can say “it’s okay there’s still a happy ending because there’s an honorary sk*walker”

palpatine manipulating him since the womb and plaguing his thoughts and impacting his decisions, his mother wouldn’t listen to him, his parents called him a monster and Luke thought about murdering him. Snoke physically abused him and tormented him with his own neglect. He wanted to be like Vader because people feared him and Ben was always afraid.

He is one of the only characters that has trauma and actually shows symptoms of it. Mental illness isn’t glamorous. You can’t say “Anak1n was manipulated and had trauma” but then call kylo ren a ‘cry baby’ or ungrateful child. He is a comfort character to many as someone who openly shows emotion despite being marketed as a one-dimensional villain to sell toys. The character most popular amongst women (13 y/o girls I don’t mean you) in Star Wars, but is shunned by the company because they pander to dudebros and tfm.

He is a skywalker by blood and THE LAST SKYWALKER. He deserved the most in this trilogy and I’ll never not be mad at everyone giving R3y his place just like his own family did.

Let me get this straight…

They decided to make a movie taking into account feedback and complaints that certain fans had about the first two films in the trilogy. That resulted in a fan service and nostalgia filled mess that made little cohesive sense and has been slammed by critics and fans and is now the worst reviewed Star Wars movie.

They had a stellar cast, in particular Academy Award Nominee Adam Driver, one of the best actors of this generation.

He played Kylo Ren/Ben Solo, arguably the best and most popular character of the ST.

They gave him no dialogue in the second half and completely underused this immensely talented actor yet he still gave it his all and stole the movie.

They killed off his character in the most tragic, unsatisfying way.

Now, a month after the movie was released, this character they killed unceremoniously is all anyone can talk about. The one thing everyone can agree on is that Ben Solo and Adam’s portrayal of him was the highlight of the film and the ST.

#BenSoloChallenge was trending.

In memory of this character over $80k has been raised for Adam’s non profit organisation, Arts in the Armed Forces.

Reylo has skyrocketed in popularity and the fandom has created so much new content.

The Rise of Kylo Ren #1 was one of the best selling comics of 2019, even though it was only released on December 18, two weeks before the end of the year.

Adam Driver has been nominated for an Academy Award for the second year in a row.

No one is talking about the trio, Palpatine’s return, Rey Skywalker or any of the nostalgic fan service. It’s all about Ben Solo.

They in no way did this character’s journey justice. They threw him under the bus for their own selfish reasons even though it didn’t make sense for the narrative. They tried to throw him into a pit never to be seen again but the jokes on them because now Ben Solo is more alive than ever!

I hope Disney realises they made a huge mistake in killing off this character and prioritising their childhood nostalgia over a well written story.
