“I feel like Disney has a chance to take a stance with a relationship like that on screen. They already took the bold move to add a female front figure which I have to applaude them for. I have heard people discuss Rey being ace as well, which I’m even more hyped about. To have one main person who doesn’t end up in a relationship – sort of with Luke.” To have another asexual on the big screen would eventually be more than he could handle. “Granddaughter makes more sense yes, I can get behind that. I do wish they would allow more accents on screen though, just to…. bring more life to the big clash of cultures that comes with planets. Not just language. Someone even said she might have been an old student of his, before Ren destroyed Luke’s temple. Maybe it’s straight up both? They know one another at least, that much I can feel… even without the force. To see Kylo redeem himself in front of his mother would be a game changer. He’s being manipulated and he’s torn, but it would add for a second layer of depth.”
"That would be so incredible," Mel agreed. The rise in representation on screen, from race to sexuality to weight, was a movement she whole-heartedly supported. "You, sir, are my new movie buddy. No one else cared as much about Star Wars as I do, so I'm keeping you around for sure."
