I totally need all of your Reylo theories in light of the new footage? Like, did Palpatine try to possess Ben, fail, then go for Rey? Do you think Snoke was actually Palpatine all along? I have so many questions!!!! ( Also happy belated birthday!)

Okay so let’s start. That poster though! Palps is obviously going to be driving the conflict of this story, not Kylo or the FO against the resistance. That conflict will more or less be background noise. What does Palps want? Power AND to fuck with the Skywalkers in some capacity. He wants Ben end of story. Ben is the Skywalker and Palpatine is back on his bullshit.

Palpatine, I believe, was behind Snoke and his manipulation of Ben in some sense, either through actually being Snoke (through possesion) OR Snoke was simply his pawn in grooming Ben for Palpatine to use later. Now that his pawn or meat vessel was taken out by Ben he needs a new strategy in turning him. I think he already started playing the long game by strengthening the bond between Rey and Ben when he noted that Ben had “compassion” for her. He’s used love as a tool successfully once before with Anakin to turn him and so far Ben has been resistant to fully turning otherwise.

The only other option is (if Ben doesn’t already know about palpatine) he rolls up and just offers Ben an apprenticeship with his “amazingly powerful” self. Do I think Ben would be into that? Hell no. Not after killing/becoming free from his old “master” (finally!) and proceeding to give a stirring speech about “letting old things die” INCLUDING the Sith. Ben is firmly over the dogma and I think he’s already trudging (grumpily) towards a more “grey” outlook in the Force. Palpatine wouldn’t have anything to offer him that I could think of besides “saving” or “sparing” Rey which is why Palpatine’s sights will be set on her in this film. He wants to hold the trump card against Ben if Ben won’t join him outright.

Moving forward on the assumption that dark Rey is a true plot point and not just a vision, the movie will show Ben gradually finding his way towards the light while Rey falls to the darkness through Palpatine’s influence. Their relationship will become “desperate” as Ben tries to keep her from falling while (ironically) people at large still see him as the villain. I explained how I think Rey could be convinced to “turn” here and, additionally, made this post about the ring that Palps could be influencing her with.

This set up (with Rey falling) would, bonus, help the audience to better accept Bendemption as they see Ben working towards the light through the whole movie and ultimately having to help pull Rey back from the darkness which he knows first hand isn’t the right path (resulting in a sort of double redemption which is RAD! Couples redemption?) Through the compassion he’s had for her from the very first film he will (as the Skywalker) finally defeat the evil shadow that’s been cast over his family by saving his love from Palpatine.

I also think we could get a JUICY reverse Anidala scene where “dark” Rey is mortally wounded during their battle (I think by Palpatine intentionally because Ben would only be trying to subdue her) and Palpatine would offer to give him the power to save his love if he fully commits to the dark side and joins him. Ben will refuse knowing the false promises of the Sith and he will succeed where Anakin failed in seeking power to save Padme’s life (POETIC CINEMA!)

He will be UNHINGED at this point because Palps hurt/potentially killed Rey and he will kill him epically with the legacy saber because Anakin’s saber MUST be used to kill Palps while in Ben’s hands I’m sorry. Then he will go to Rey where some angst happens because she’s seemingly dying but the force is like “naw” because of their bond and love and Ben making the right choice etc magic happy ending.

I know this idea has been reversed in the past with Ben dying in this scenario BUT (imo) Ben needs to be THE CLEAR HERO at the end of the story not just some “redeemed villain” that was taken pity upon by our heroine. Anakin already more or less got the “pitied redeemed villain” ending (YAWN will not repeat). The Skywalker has to set things right at the end of the Skywalker Saga and he fucking will.

Ok hear me out

Idk if I’m specualating, or if this is just me brain blasting over here but just bare with me. There are certain things I’m just connecting, some of these things other people have pointed out, but I don’t know (and correct me if I’m wrong) if anyone has pointed this all specifically out.

So I’m gonna section these out to keep my thoughts organized. Firstly there is the whole elevator spiel. “I saw something too. Because of what I saw, I know when the moment comes you’ll be the one to turn. You’ll stand with me.” And yes I am making the dark!Rey connection. I would 100% believe Ben had seen dark!Rey. And hold to the end for my explanation, but don’t think he was/is completely excited about what he saw.

Secondly is after the fight in the throne room, “No, no! You’re still holding on, let go!” Aswell as reagarding all the other times he had mentioned “let the past die.” And the most interesting thing I find from this that Ben was trying to teach Rey a lesson in the way of the Jedi. I’m citing from the wookieepedia page under the Miscellaneous tenets of the Jedi code that are not directly mentioned but are known by Jedi’s. “A Jedi does not cling to the past…” why? Because the past can invoke hate and fear which can as we know lead to the dark side.

Now why would Ben do this? Well in my speculation, I don’t think Ben ever wanted her to go to the dark side. Perhaps back in TFA maybe dark!Rey might have been what he had in mind. But I do believe that after there bond and connection grew, he knows he does not need her to change. Now connecting this back to the elevator scene, the way he stated it was very matter of fact, it wasn’t exactly oh I’m excited for what I saw, but I know what I did like was knowing that you stood with me. And adding in the throne room scene and might I add the one time he ever raises his voice to her out of what I would believe to be fear and panic. He does not want her to go to the dark side, he’s been there, he knows what he went through and would not want the same for her. I could imagine he would want her to understand the dark side and embrace some of it because that’s finding balance, and while for him he needs to welcome back some of the light.

So what conclusion am I trying to reach here? Ben Organa Solo whether by vision or by legitmanly happening, he will be broken to see Rey go dark. And trust me I am loving the bad ass dark Rey, and it’s so important for it be in the moving at whatever capacity that it is it. How it will be for him could be potentially devastating and how hard he will fight for her, I am so fucking ready!

what if when they are fighting on the death star they are actually fighting but don't really want to hurt eachother, they're just kinda expected to fight eachother if that makes sense? Cause I know it's a common theory but I don't think they are training but ANYWAY what if halfway through the fight they end up in this position (or something like this, their faces should be a bit closer for sure tho)

and we can see on both of their faces how much they don't want to hurt eachother (tears not needed but preferred), we see them say some stuff along the lines of "I don't want to do this/hurt you" etc. and then a massive wave knocks one of them overboard and the other one jumps after them?! this will 100% not happen but I just had a thought and thought I'd share it because the only friend I have that watches star wars thinks rey and kylo are siblings so I need to tell someone

I officially suck at tags btw
