“ I did want to take your hand, Bens hand ”

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.

How my nightmares look like ever since I watched TROS

[justbecauseitsover]

I found another great example of why BEN Solo was not meant to DIE until LATE in the editing process

This twitter thread explains it perfectly

And then someone also noticed this:

TROS Editor on kiss and Ben’s death, again

I am sparing you the awful writing of the article by selecting a couple of extracts but the link is below.

KISS

According to Brandon, there was a lot of back-and-forth about whether the scene would happen at all. She cut a lot of different versions of “should they/shouldn’t they,” she said.

“I always said, ‘The movie will tell us whether they should kiss or not. We will know by the time we get to the end of our process, if it should happen.’ And I felt it should, and [director J.J. Abrams] agreed with me, and other people who saw the film agreed.”

Brandon praised the performances in the scene, especially the moment Kylo Ren smiles, the first time the character has smiled in three movies.

“I know it’s not for everybody,” she said of the kiss. “I know there will be people who wish they hadn’t, but this is a film that was never going to please everyone, and I think that the reviews are kind of reflective of that. The things that certain people love, other people hated. And that’s the phenomenon of Star Wars.”

Ben’s death

 In order to save Rey, Kylo had to give up all that was left of his life force.

“He got his redemption, I think, in a lovely way. And right after he disappears, [his mother] Leia disappears. I’d like to think that they’re together,” she said.

ME

Blaming the bad reviews on the kiss really? lol  Every time they deflect it on the fans, instead of saying they were in love and soulmates and it was meant  to be …etc. spineless until the end.

THATS NOT WHAT U CALL REDEMPTION AT ALL AND IN WHAT WAY WAS BENS DEAD LOVELY???

[just-raconteur]

how tros was *probably* supposed to end

this is a re-imagined version of the ending as interpreted by the original editing and score (this is version 1, version 2 is more manipulated, but more romantic.. will probably upload later)

*please credit if you repost on tumblr or twitter

There haven’t

been a

single day

where I

didn’t think

or cry

about this

precious and

gorgeous man

called

Ben Solo

[hopelesslyreylo-deactivated2021]

I don’t know how true this is as DLF and JJ said there were no test screenings...

But damn...did they just pull an ending out of a hat and that’s the ending they went with?

TROS; What Really Happened?! (Reylo Kiss)

before I get started I was becoming more and more confused trying to piece this together (the editing of this film is just…wow) so forgive me if I’m not making total sense. I hope it’s clear though. I also just want to clarify that I LOVE their kiss. it’s so beautiful and it is just glorious, so please don’t think I’m hating on it. I’m just showing an example of how messy the film is in the this scene.

1. Ben Revives Rey

2. Rey Waking Up

3. Ben Then “Dies”

4. Leia Uses Her Life Force As She Fades (explains Maz happy smile) + the whole “belonging you seek is not behind you it is ahead.” line from TFA.

5. Rey Watches Ben Come Back (Relieved Look)

6. Ben RISES + Stares

7. THEN THE KISS + SMILE

that’s basically it. this could be 2 scenes merged together to try and make it look like he dies after the kiss. when really it’s the other way round. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. this could also just be reshoots. the kiss could’ve been a reshoot because they would’ve kissed in the ending (Adam was on the set of Tatooine) but as they cut that ending (Daisy stated the ending “the crew was shaken in a way I had not seen before. and I thought, ‘my god if this is people’s immediate reaction when the scene isn’t even ready, imagine what it will be like to see it in the movies, with the John Williams soundtrack and all that.”) they chose to make them kiss here instead? BUT WE CAN AGREE EVERYTHING IS SUPER WEIRD AF.

THOSE SNEAKY EDITORS

Ben wasnt suppose to die and here is a reason why. If u look at the original clip, u see how weird and unnatural Reys arms looks. In the reversed one, Reys elbow/arm looks more normal when she tries to pull Ben up then in the one where she tries to prevent Ben from smashing his head into the ground. Also why woukd Rey support her arm with her other hand if she was pulled, it would make more sense if she would support her arm to pull Ben up! 

THOSE SNEAKY EDITORS REVERSED THE SCENE 

It would also make sense why Reys expression isnt that sad but more concerned CUZ BEN ISNT DEAD

TROS Fix-It Ending

Welp, this movie truly broke me – I’ve gone and written a fanfic, y’all. Well, sorta. More like a lost alternate ending, written in screenplay format since, you know, it’s a movie, lol.

Anyway, I woke up with this in my head and needed to get it out. No time to work out any finer details and minutiae, so forgive any errors. It’s cheesy but I DON’T CARE. I just hope it makes someone feel better.

Begins after The Kiss:

[kuruki-san]
