Rey: “I need to go alone.”

Finn: “Yeah, alone with friends.”

In honor of

May the 4th,

Here are my top favorite ships of Star Wars, from the least favorite to the top favorite:

Kylo Ren/Ben x Rey Skywalker/Palpatine

Why I like them:

Honestly, this isn’t my FAVORITE ship, since I’m not a huge fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope, nor am I a fan of bad boys x good girls. Also, the whole soulmate thing was a bit forced in last minute. HOWEVER, I like a lot of the fan art of this couple, as well as the what they could have had if things were different. I blame a lot of the fandom’s headcanons 😆 . I saw the potential in their back and forth banter in The Last Jedi, and enjoyed when Ben finally came to his senses and fought for the good side with Rey in Rise of Skywalker.

Jyn x Cassian

Why I like them:

Honestly, I thought it was hilarious that one of the reviews for the movie claimed that this was the best film with a female lead because there was ‘no romance between the heroine and the hero,” because when I watched it, the shipper in me thought “well, yeah, because they all died before anything could happen 😜”. This is another ship I saw with potential because how much Jyn and Cassian influenced each other for the better, despite their rocky start. They went from almost biting each other’s heads off, to reluctantly trusting each other, to having each other’s back, to finding comfort in each other as their time ran out.

Carth Onasi x Fem!Revan

Why I like this couple:

The first computer Star Wars game I played was Knights of the Old Republic, and thanks to that I went down a hole in the Star Wars Universe. Normally, I’m not a fan of Person A getting together with Person B who was partially responsible for the murder of your spouse and almost-murder-but-still-wound-up-messed-up-beyond-redemption-because-of-trauma child. However, the storytelling of KOTOR and the character arc that Carth undergoes via his interactions with Fem!Revan as well as her own development (based on the player’s choices) wonderfully portrays the power of redemption, earning trust, and forgiveness that it makes sense for this couple to end up together. This is why I pretend Carth’s cameo in KOTOR 2 didn’t happen, because the confirmation that Fem!Revan left to undo the harm she caused but was never able to reunite with Carth (who spends the rest of his life waiting for her and never knowing her eventual fate) is too sad.

Exile x Mical/The Disciple

Why I like them:

The choice was either the sweet nice guy with an English accent, or the Han Solo-Copy. No offense to Atton, but when I had to pick between him or Mical, I preferred Mical. He’s a gentleman, a scholar, and shows nothing but support for the Exile even though he didn’t have that great of an opinion on the Jedi at first.

Visas Marr x Male!Exile

Why I like them:

This couple admittedly has similar dynamics and even dialogue options as Fem!Exile x Mical, but with the splash of a more traumatic background for Visas and an even deeper understanding and connection. I like Visas as a character, as she is a sith only because she was basically tortured into being one, not because she’s a bad person. She loved the Exile from afar because of their similar situations of being broken away from the Force, and (if you play a kindhearted Exile) fell for him further because of his kindness. The Exile (again, should the player make the proper decisions) also doesn’t hold Visas’s past nor her connection to the main Sith Lord against her and treats her like how a normal person should be treated: with respect.

Rey x Poe Dameron

Why I like them:

Yes, they bicker a lot, but their first meetings in the films and the novels were really cute. Also, they’re both really talented pilots who get along great with machines, and with great taste in friends (Hi Finn!).

Han Solo x Leia Organa Skywalker

Why I like them:

The only slap-slap-kiss couple that has rights. THE Star Wars couple. Ne’er do well Rogue with a Hidden heart of Gold x Haughty Princess who loves her people and learns to loosen up? Only these two can pull it off so well.

Finn x Rey

I 👏🏻 LOVE 👏🏿 THESE 👏🏻 TWO 👏🏿!!!!

I loved them as soon as they appeared on screen together. Finn can be a coward, but he’s still such a sweetheart and a good guy who’ll keep doing whatever is right. Rey is prickly and hard of trusting, but when she becomes friends with someone it’s really adorable how she gets incredibly loyal and attached to them. While Poe befriended and gave Finn a reason to leave the First Order, Rey gave him the courage and confidence to fight them. While Han Solo gave Rey a paternal mentor figure who she looked up to, Finn was the one who respected her for her strength while helping her realize it was okay for her to open up and be vulnerable. That and their interactions are always adorable and heartwarming. Whatever ship you’re on or building, and whatever your opinions may be on the sequel trilogy, I think it is obvious that Finn and Rey’s relationship with each other was so necessary to each other throughout their entire stories.

(because eveyrone else is messaging you to vent i wanna join in too). Seriously does anyone actually know what Rose does in this movie? For how long reylos and tlj stans used her to prop themselves up and hide their antiblackness I'm surprised no one's even mentioning her. They're also surprisingly silent about their "second favorite ship" Finnrose being ignored considering how much they - again, propped it up as though they really cared about either of them.

i think all she does is give a pep talk or something it’s so sad

[skywalkerapologist]

Sooo what're they arguing about this time???

Under a cut since the answer mentions how parts of fandom have felt about TROS leaks. No specific spoilers though.

Basically R/ylos haven’t been happy with recent leaks for...reasons and have been harassing the leakers about it (because shooting the messenger makes total sense). MSW makes a joke about “horny 14 year olds” in reference to the R/ylos doing the harassing and the fandom collectively loses its shit. Cue crying about how “bullied” poor R/ylos are even though they constantly bring this shit on themselves by acting like assholes to literally everyone else.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not “Team Jason” by any means since he’s also a douche but the mutual meltdown has been amusing to watch.

I didn't wanna get involved but like... I'm really not seeing the issue. I understood what you were saying from the get-go. I'm not even sure why we're still talking about it. There are other things ppl can worry about. Like actual re//ylos. Weird how quickly things can escalate. Maybe I'm just used to walking away and ignoring ppl, but I applaud you for deciding to try to explain yourself regardless.

Hey, thanks for the support! Yeah I figured people deserved an explanation, but I think I’ve said about everything I can for now and it’s probably a good time to turn off anon again smh

Do Finn and Rey ever fully argue? If so, about what? Petty arguments or serious arguments? How long does it take them to make up, and how do they make up? Who normally apologizes first, or do they normally both come back to each other at the same time? Does it sometimes take Poe, Leia and Rose to play the voice of reason, or do they come to their senses by themselves?

Finn and Rey are pretty much a couple who are very civil when it comes to big decisions. They are able to listen to each other liberally. However I could see them as emotional people starting arguements over one of them getting them into a near death experience. They would scream why would you do that, you could have died, you need to stop doing that. 

But once emotions calm down, they manage to forgive each other and liberally talk to each other. Because I see them as a team and they manage to always make decisions together.

From a german interview? (sorry if u already saw this) || Question: "I got the impression in Episode 8, that there was some very strong love interest vibe between Finn and Rose?"John Boyega: "[Shakes Head]. You gotta extend that. Finn and Rose. Finn and Poe. Finn and Rey."

finn and poe! finn and rey!

[mandaloriangf]

ok fill me in: what happened with john and daisy ?

there was an interview where he poked fun of the shape of her head or something and reylos of course assumed that mean john is an evil bully
