Should the protagonist of Star Wars have turned evil and dated hot baby space Hitler? Signs point to yes. Discuss here.

Reylo, or Rey, no! You decide.

Permission to selectively ignore especially bad movies? While waiting for a response I will say that Finn and Rose was way better than whatever was going on in the third sequel. And yes I do include the obviously written out dalliance between Poe and Finn in that statement.

Glad to see the sequels haven't lost their ability to spark a discussion.

I think the two of them didn't really have much romantic chemistry in Force Awakens, but all that soulful staring at eachother in Last Jedi did imply something might go on somehow, but if there was going to be an actual romance as part of a trilogy narrative, they should've pulled the trigger by the second movie if anything was going to happen because the third entry was going to be too busy trying to wrap everything else up. I guess maybe the way that they team up to fight snake only to draw totally different conclusions as to what should come next was like a big action movie version of that Padme and Anakin picnic meme.

Hell, they could even just swap sides. Kylo and Rey each had a vision of the other turning, so just have Kylo save Rey and become a hero, while Rey realizes that the only way her story is going to make sense is if she forces it to, and becomes the villain.

I was pretty into Reylo. It wasn't great- they weren't really pushing the envelope with it- but there was more meat to the idea than any of the other slim pickings of the sequel trilogy. Any space-port in a solar storm, as star wars might say.

I think it was too subtle and should have been more like the prequels, where Anakin begs Padme to have sex with him. They could just have Adam Driver turn head-on to the camera and say "I am Kylo Ren and I am horny for Rey. She makes me penis go from soft to hard." See then it's like he's similar to Anakin, get it?

TLJ would have been way better if Rey had accepted Kylo's offer, like as a way to save everyone on the planet, end the war, etc. It would have taken the series in an interesting direction other than being an inferior retelling of the original trilogy.

I don't see why she would have to become evil to date him, OP. You don't have to have the same politics as your partners.

"Balancing the force" by becoming equal amounts good and evil is the dumbest goddamn interpretation of Star Wars mysticism out there.

Sorry, I've just seen that take enough (and even seen it take a sizable foothold in the EU) that I get kind of sick of it. It's kind of everything I hate about hot takes in Star Wars. It both futher takes away agency from non-force sensitives and attempts to retcon everything about the force up to that point. Like if you want to go into more into finding a more complex stance between or apart from factions, step away from the force and look at the actual political forces of the galaxy (and it's not like the "factions" of the Sith and Jedi have all that much contiguity and coherence between them). If you wanna dive deeper into whatever mysticism about the force, you can do something weirder without um-actuallying the whole franchise.

After TFA I was sure this was going to be the arc for them both, although I didn't think Rey would go full evil - I did think we'd see a very wrathful Rey bested and then spared by a more serene Kylo toward the end of 8, setting up a more sensible team-up with both as heroes in 9.

It would have owned if Rey turned and Finn got to be the Jedi hero he was hinted at being. Or have the sequel trilogy 3nd with a bad ending so that there is something to fight against in the sequel trilogy's sequel trilogy.

Or maybe make a movie where John Boyega isn't relegated to being the butt of every joke.
