He looks so tired and lost.

It felt amazing being apart of this final fight. For me, after episode 8, I wanted more clarity. I had so many questions. I am the Star Wars fan—on set—that likes to debate everything or bring it up. And so, for me, I just wanted to see more. I want to know more about these characters. — JOHN BOYEGA at Star Wars Convention Chicago 2019

netflix casting ben barnes as one of the hottest characters in YA is a power move

Fair warning

I’m going to be salty as fuck about TROS for the foreseeable future (ever? Probably forever.) while still celebrating the beauty (and unnecessary painful tragedy) of Ben Solo A FUCKING LEGEND along with the beautiful love story about healing that Reylo COULD HAVE EASILY been.

I will cherry pick the shit out of the FEW “good” scenes in TROS but otherwise completely reject the narrative. I will NOT apologize for this offensive nightmare ending that destroyed the franchise.

If salt isn’t your brand of coping I can respect that and I’ll attempt to tag those posts “TROS salt”.

Unpopular opinion

I won’t be satisfied if reylo will be just “hinted”. I want a scene that make their love as clear as the sunlight.

But in the Saga of Larten Crepsley, he and Wester looked at each other confused. “They had never seen a deep gaze in any man’s eyes” roughly translated, but still there

“I saw something, too.” 

I wrote twitter meta about the one good thing about this film (Adam Driver’s acting, the PURE character work he did with zero dialogue) because I finally figured out what he was talking about when he said he was using “mask work” with Kylo Ren. He wasn’t playing through a mask only when he wore the helmet, he was acting as if his very FACE was a stoic blank mask he was looking through. That’s why Kylo Ren as a character has such a specific feeling to him, and why the audience instantly responded to Ben Solo, who could show his emotions.

This character was always 100% a young boy hiding behind a mask that hid and disallowed every emotion except for his anger, the only emotion that men are allowed to feel. This character is an exploration of how toxic masculinity harms men. And what miracles can happen for men internally when they embrace emotionality and forgive themselves and use their energy to do good. (I’m crying about him again.)
