Dear Reylo community,

Over the next two months, we'll be promoing the fics that have been posted to AO3 as a part of our events. We want to celebrate all the #rffawriters who have joined us throughout the years, and shine some light on some oldies-but-goodies.

We can't wait to take this walk down memory lane with you. It's been an absolute pleasure in the last decade to be part of such a thriving creative community, and to serve as a hub for some truly incredible stories.

Stay tuned—May the Fourth be with you!

you're owen lars. your father has fallen in love with a woman and she's enslaved. you and your father aren't rich, but eventually you manage to free her. this one woman. one woman on a planet full of injustices.

you're owen lars. the woman you call mom had another child once. it doesn't make her love you less, but she talks about him in a way that makes it clear that she loved him, too. he's off to be a jedi now and she's very proud.

you're owen lars. your mother's been kidnapped and you have to assume the worst. a man and a woman step into your home and the man announces himself to be that kid who went off to become a jedi. he knows you less than you know him and before anything else can happen, he takes off to bring back his mother, a feat you think is impossible.

you're owen lars. anakin skywalker brings your mom's corpse to your doorstep. her funeral is interrupted by a message of utmost galactic importance.

you're owen lars. your brother is dead. you never saw him again after that first time. there is another jedi on your doorstep, with a baby in his arm and you know what it means and you can't bring yourself to face him as he hands your nephew off to your wife.

you're owen lars. obi-wan ben kenobi is a pain in the ass. he was more your brother's brother than you ever were and he doesn't understand your particular kind of grief, is drowning in his own. you don't even know the full story and kenobi will never tell you all of it. but you have a child to care for so you tell him off and get back to work.

you're owen lars. you didn't know your brother, but you know your nephew and your nephew wants out of this place as soon as possible. you know he won't be safe out there but in the end you're helpless to stop him. and you know the stories, you remember the one time you met him, the days your mother died. and you do this for her and you do this for your father and you do this for your brother and you do this for your nephew.

you're owen lars. your last act is to protect your brother's child. your child.

[generallemarc]

You're Owen Lars. You unknowingly raised a child to be the spitting image of his father's better nature while ensuring he was never hurt by the things that created his father's darker half. Your child saves the lives of billions, redeems your brother, and brings him back from the abyss that by all rights should have consumed him. You were and are a dilligent, loving, caring father, and for that you have saved the galaxy.

Steven Soderbergh talks about his frustration with the cancellation of the film 'The Hunt for Ben Solo'

Since you [Steven Soderbergh] brought up Star Wars, I was reading the Kathleen Kennedy exit interview again before we got on the call. I think what surprised a lot of people from the outside was that it appears it was basically a green light, and then essentially the head of Disney kills it for “story reasons,” which has never stopped them from doing anything in the Star Wars universe. And I was wondering if that elucidated anything for you? Did you know how disappointed she was? 

Steven Soderbergh: "No, it was no surprise that she was frustrated. We were all frustrated. You know, that was two and a half years of free work for me and Adam and Rebecca Blunt. When Adam and I discussed him talking about it publicly, I said, “Look, do not editorialize or speculate about the why. Just say what happened, because all we know is what happened.” The stated reason [from Disney] was “We don’t think Ben Solo could be alive.” And that was all we were told. And so there’s nothing to do about it, you know, except move on. And as I posted, I’d kind of made the movie in my head, and just felt bad that nobody else was going to get to see it. I thought the conversation was strictly going to be a practical one—where they go, what is this going to cost? And I had a really good answer for that. But it never even got to that point. It’s insane. We’re all very disappointed."
