The most interesting, compelling, wonderful Star Wars character ever - and I’ve been a fan since 1983 when I watched ROTJ in theaters at 8 years of age.
JJ Abrams and the Disney decision makers clearly had no idea what they had in this character - they clearly had no idea what audiences wanted to see for this character - they clearly have no idea what the word “hopeful” means - and they clearly don’t understand what a happy ending is, nor the fact that the final film in a NINE MOVIE SERIES THAT SPANNED OVER FOUR DECADES really should have fucking had one!
I can’t remember ever being so disappointed walking out of a theater before in my life, and all I do is watch movies...
Wow

Spot of reading in this month’s @empiremagazine
Kylo in the beginning of the movie
Finding out that Rey is being trained by his mother
Every force bond moment
Kylo realizing that Rey is in his quarters
Rey rejecting his hand again
Part 1
Tragic romances can work beautifully, so long as the audience gets to see the actual romance before it all goes downhill.
Romeo and Juliet exchanged wedding vows in secret. Anakin and Padme spent time frolicking through the fields of Naboo together. Will and Louisa went to Mauritius for a romantic getaway. Jack and Rose had their iconic "I'm flying!" scene.
But Ben and Rey had none of that. A man who was preyed upon since conception, who wanted nothing more than to be "free of [his] pain," was freed only in death. A woman who spent her entire life longing for a family of her own was finally(!!!) rewarded with one for all of ten seconds, before regressing back to square one, as if her whole journey was a nihilistic game of 'Snakes and Ladders.'
That ending is neither 'hopeful' nor cathartic. And it certainly has no place in a fairytale.
just watched a video that showed up on my youtube recommendations of a couple who vlogged their experience at the premiere, they don't say much (*coughs*NDA*coughs*) but they did say that they loved it and that they didn't see a reason why people might not enjoy it. Because I wasn't familiar with them I looked up their reaction for the TROS trailer, which was: "I love kylo, I don't want him to die" so...how would this person be happy with the leaked ending exactly?
* Kylo Ren , every single time someone asks him to kill Rey * Well yes , but actually no
“Then they should have no problem retrieving the droid. Unharmed.
I want that map. For your sake, I suggest you get it”.
“Forget the droid. We have what we need”.
Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy sounds
*I am a creature in a mask, fear me*
*I’ am not a creature in a mask*
“don’t be afraid i feel it too”
The map, where is it. WHERE IS IT
*Not extracting the map*
*Not extracting the map*
*Not extracting the map*
*Not extracting the map*
*Not extracting the map*
*Not extracting the map*
*Still not extracting the map*
*nope…*
*Definitely not extracting the map*
Not only the prisoner escaped, a stormtrooper helped him to escape, a Tie Fighter was stolen and the destruction of the base is quite important.
Reaction -Calm and clear :“The one from the village. FN-2187″.
The girl (who is collaborating with the resistance for the first time in her life , is not even a soldier,and is still in the base ) escaped. Reaction:
“She’s just beginning to test her powers. The longer it takes to find her, the more dangerous she becomes”. “Put every hangar on lock-down. She’s going to try to steal a ship”
“ The longer it takes the more dangerous she becomes”
The longer it takes…
“ the more dangerous she becomes”
dangerous
“The longer it takes”…
“The longer it takes”…
“The longer it takes”…
she’s completely cornered… Just stop her right?
I guess when he sees her again he will be furious…
right?
*Runs towards her completely unarmed*
Furious?Mad?: Not -even -a -little
Let’s not forget Rey last name:“I’m not giving you anything”
And Rey last name: “I ship Myself to him”
And Rey last name: “I don’t know what personal space is”
“No. The Supreme leader is wise”.
You know what? You don’t need your grandfather’s lightsaber right now.You have your own red lightsaber in your waist…
Just grab it and fight..
Except that you don’t want to fight, right?
You just want her to stay with you
Okay this time, he’s really furious…
You should inform your army that she’s running away…
Boy…
You should inform your army that she’s running away…
she’s running away… inform your army
No?Okey…
Do you still have doubts about what will happen in IX?
Guys - It’s been announced recently that the American Music Awards will be honoring me with the Artist of the Decade Award at this year’s ceremony. I’ve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I’m allowed to next year. Additionally - and this isn’t the way I had planned on telling you this news - Netflix has created a documentary about my life for the past few years. Scott and Scooter have declined the use of my older music or performance footage for this project, even though there is no mention of either of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film.
Scott Borchetta told my team that they’ll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs next year (which is something I’m both legally allowed to do and looking forward to) and also told my team that I need to stop talking about him and Scooter Braun.
I feel very strongly that sharing what is happening to me could change the awareness level for other artists and potentially help them avoid a similar fate. The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you’ll be punished.
This is WRONG. Neither of these men had a hand in the writing of those songs. They did nothing to create the relationship I have with my fans. So this is where I’m asking for your help.
Please let Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun know how you feel about this. Scooter also manages several artists who I really believe care about other artists and their work. Please ask them for help with this - I’m hoping that maybe they can talk some sense into the men who are exercising tyrannical control over someone who just wants to play the music she wrote. I’m especially asking for help from The Carlyle Group, who put up money for the sale of my music to these two men.
I just want to be able to perform MY OWN music. That’s it. I’ve tried to work this out privately through my team but have not been able to resolve anything. Right now my performance at the AMA’s, the Netflix documentary and any other recorded events I am planning to play until November of 2020 are a question mark.
I love you guys and I thought you should know what’s been going on.

It seems Disney Lucasfilm will retcon Ben Solo’s backround story in order to make it fit TROS.
Ben Solo never meant to die. Right before the premiere of this garbage movie, DLF released a comic called “ The Rise of Kylo Ren” in which it’s crystal clear that he doesn’t have to do anything to the Temple fire or the dead Jedi students. He even tried to help them.
It does look like Disney Lucasfilm is going to rewrite and undone everything what has been set up before the reddit fanbro TROS came out and destroyed everything. We all know JJ Abrams ignored and rewrote everything what The Last Jedi, The Force Awakens and the other canon materials set up.
Imagine this level of stupidity…It’s like someone says 2+6=94 and demands you to re-create science to make his stupid shit acceptable…jfc
In short: gaslighting
Thankfully we are not brainless idiots.
