Star Wars Episode IX Reylo predictions
These are just a few predictions that I believe will occur in episode ix based on the trajectory of the last two films.
1)The time jump will be short. We can’t time jump years for the last movie. The reason that I believe this, is that if Ben Solo will be redeemed in the last movie, he can’t be terrorizing the galaxy for a couple of more years. Otherwise, we are in for another two and a half hours of let’s save Ben Solo. We already have two movies that have done this. I can’t sit through a third of the same thing. If he is destructive and ordering the death of planets then there will be no redemption arc. However, I do believe he will be redeemed so we need to see a different side of him. We know that he doesn’t support the annihilation of planets. We saw that in TFA and honestly, I think had Phasma not asked about the villagers in the beginning of TFA, he would have let them live. He let Finn and Poe live.
2)Hux will attempt to kill or overthrow Kylo in the first act of the movie. We have evidence that these two hate each other. Hux already attempted to kill Ben in TLJ. Had Ben not woken up when he did, we wouldn’t have a third movie. Hux may view a security holo in the throne room, but he will come to find the truth that Ben Solo committed high treason in the killing of Snoke. When the coupe occurs, I believe that Ben will escape somehow.
3)The Knights of Ren will finally make their appearance. When Ben goes into hiding, he will go back to the knights. I think they fall somewhere between the FO and the rebellion. Neither good or bad. If they are some of the jedi from the temple that went with him, he knows he is safe with them. This may also be when he meets Rey to fulfill that piece of her vision from TFA. He saves her life, again, and they remain together for the rest of the movie.
4)We will have a Reylo kiss. I also think that when they do kiss that they will see a vision of their future and see their kids. Touching hands across the galaxy allowed them a moment of clarity into where they are headed. They will turn and stand side by side, but in TLJ they still both viewed their vision through a selfish lens. However, I do think that they both saw the same thing. The amazing thing is, is that I think JJ will show us what they see. We saw what Rey saw in TFA. Rian didn’t share their vision with us, as I think it would give the next movie away. But, I do believe JJ will actually give us their vision on screen. It would actually be a beautiful way for Disney to end this saga, but also give themselves an opening if they are to continue the Skywalker saga in the future.
5)Ben Solo will be redeemed. I believe he will be redeemed early on in the movie. He will get a beautiful story. We left TLJ with everyone calling him Ben. He looked defeated and weary. I think the decision was made then. This kid has had a really rough two weeks. He knows Luke and Han both gave their lives for him. He may believe his mom is dead and Rey left him. The legacy he has been led to believe will be his greatest achievement has only become his downfall. He no longer has too much Vader in him, but too much of his father. Even Snoke called him young Solo. The last thing he sees are the dice that belong to his dad.
We know that Han has not left him since Luke told us that. Ben will meld the two halves of his life together. He will become a complete Solo/Skywalker. This denying the two halves of himself has been tearing him apart to the point that it split his spirit to the bone. I know that people want him to suffer and to suffer terribly and painfully on screen, but why? Yes, he has done terrible things due to an ideology that he had been sold on from an early age. His family did not protect him from the dark side. Han gave his life, touching his son’s face in love and forgiveness for what he did to him. Luke, also gave his life. Ben knew from the first connection with Rey, that the effort would kill her. He knew Luke projecting himself would lead to his death. Luke thought Ben was worth saving. It is not up to us to determine another person’s suffering and “necessary” payment for their sins.
6)Their Force connection will continue. These two are connected. They can not deny each other. I don’t think that they will fight against the connection in the beginning for too long. It serves a purpose for the two of them and I think that they will be extremely lonely without the other. The also become their best selves when they are with each other.
7)Reylo will be end game. They will get their happily ever after. That is how fairy tales end. According to JJ in his commentary of TFA this is a fairy tale. They will both be alive and it will be so sweet that we are all walking out of that theater with cavities. We did not wait forty-two years for a horrible ending that leaves no satisfaction to the most romantic and sexy couple in Star Wars history. The are Anakin and Padame in reverse. They are equals in the halves that they represent in the force. They are THE couple. Neither overpowers the other. They understand each other. I don’t know if the will form a Jedi order as Ben is completely disillusioned from that. However, they may help other force users understand how to blend the light and dark to be a complete force user.
After the darkness shines through the light.
The difference, they say,
Through refined Jedi sight.

The Force Awakens novelization
I think that TFA was the day and TLJ is the night, that leaves us with the resolving of gray through refined Jedi sight.
