Fanfiction request: Ben and Hux face trial, Rey and Rose visit them in their cells. Ben and Rey's love flourishes and Hux and Rose start liking each other. Eventually, Rey and Rose plot to leave with them in exile and start a new life ❤️

[kcmarsala]

Well... The Hux and Rose part isn't there, but here's a short fic that covers the reylo part of your request...

Adam’s Favourite Scene Cut?

IT SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY ENDING

[chase-antics]

Post-TROS, it takes a whole family to rehab a sandy homestead. Rey and Poe love each other in their own, bickering siblings type way. Ben and Finn let their respective spouses/family hash it out from the safety of a high ledge.

shout out to @mnemehoshiko for the enabling

Me to my husband, after he finally sees TRoS: He's not dead.

Husband: Yes, he is. He disappeared.

Me: That doesn't mean he's dead.

Husband: Yes, it does. That's what happens when Jedi die.

Me (triumphant): But he's not a Jedi! He never was!!

Husband: <blink> <blink>

Mind you, my husband is a very quick thinker and it's VERY rare that I'm able to stump him. But I definitely did on this occasion and it felt SO GOOD!!!

[kcmarsala]

I'm convinced... But...?

Ok, so, I'm convinced the ending was changed and we were originally going to get a conclusion to TRoS that would have had us all crying for entirely different reasons. At least, if I'm not convinced logically, then I am emotionally!

But here's what I still don't get... WHY?

Why do you think JJ or Kathleen Kennedy or whoever decided it needed to change? And why to what we got?

Theories. I wanna hear 'em. Go!

[benandreykissed]

I edited the last reylo scene of TROS in accordance to what a lot of people are theorizing is the original sequence of events (Ben revives Rey, he dies, Leia uses her life force to bring him back [this could explain why Maz is smiling], Rey’s shocked/relieved, then they kiss). I also added in ‘Across the Stars’ by John Williams.

3 of 3 in my household vote for this version!!!

post-TROS look. Tag yourself, I’m Anthony

[kcmarsala]

I'm Oscar. Head up, pursed lips translation: "Yeah, you did that. I trusted you that you weren't going to do that, and you did it anyway." Downcast eyes, head going back down translation: "I should have known. And now I have to live with this."

PROOF THE REYLO KISS SCENE WAS ALSO HEAVILY EDITED

WHY LUCASFILM?!?! WHY?!

[thinktheta123]

*Whispers* No. 

[chasethesublime]

Part of what makes me think this, too, is that the way he flops over so abruptly is hard to not see as comical. And if he had lived, it actually would have been a pretty funny moment. People in my theater laughed when it happened but got quiet when he faded away...like I’m pretty sure it was supposed to be a funny moment where he just passed out but instead they changed it to his death and that’s why there’s such a weird tonal disconnect.

[likemmmcookies]

Yes! Passing out right after you kiss the love of your life is such a Solo thing to do.

[kcmarsala]

the kiss

The end of TRoS was accidentally spoiled for me because I saw gifs on Tumblr that showed the kiss and Ben's smile, along with a caption lamenting his abrupt death. I saw that around 8:30 the morning of 12/20 and I had my tickets all ready to go for 10:15 that night. I'm glad I knew going into the theater how it was going to end. I don't want to imagine my emotional state had I been blindsided by that.

But here's what I don't get...

I saw the gifs. Once I realized what they meant, I went back to look at them again. And I stopped because I didn't understand. What was that smile about? What was the context of the kiss? What were they saying? I decided I needed the context around the whole scenario and then it would make sense. (I was still so f*cking naive and placing my faith in filmmakers I now realize never deserved it...) But there wasn't any. Other than the music, there was nothing to contextualize or explain anything about that moment.

Four days later, it still doesn't make sense. That whole sequence... it's all so rushed, so abrupt. There's no time for the characters to react, let alone the audience. And that's a problem of pacing. There's a video on YouTube about how the original Star Wars movie was saved in the editing room. Well, if that's the case, it seems that's where this one died. Because the idea that something changed during the editing process and a fundamental shift in the narrative was made and the footage was edited and mutated and forced into a shape it was never meant to have...

That's the only thing that DOES make sense.

Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

[kylorenaissance]

Me: reshoots are a normal part of filming and it doesn’t necessarily mean they changed the ending, these theories are wild and the result of grief and should be put to rest

Someone: NEW EVIDENCE

Me:

[kcmarsala]

Ahhh! It's so wonderful to be so well understood!!!

[leiasboybensolo-deactivated2021]

Adam Driver played three characters in these movies. Kylo Ren, Ben Solo and the person torn between the two. You can't convince me otherwise.

I have spoken.

[child-of-thekindlywest-deactiva]

He is a brilliant actor

[kcmarsala]

Just had a horrid thought...

What if the whole B.S. ending to the Skywalker saga was intended to be disappointing just to drive up sales of the Blu-ray/DVD when the come out?

Think about it. With the way streaming services and Redbox becoming so common, sales of home videos must be way down because they're just not as convenient for us as consumers. But the extras that typically get put on homme videos and nowhere else (and often at premium prices because they made cheap versions without any extras too) are now the only thing that Disney has full control over if and how we get access to them. Even more, they can advertise the hell out of there being alternate endings and deleted scenes in the homme video release, and they can get two major cash cow releases out of one movie.

What do you think? Do you think it's possible Disney, the company of magic and fairytales come true, could be so outright manipulative of our emotions and wallets?

If Force Ghosts can lift a X-wing they can cure Ben Solo, don’t @ me
