This is the best Star Wars channel I have seen. I have no fear that a Poe and Rey relationship will happen. It would be such a weak story considering you have to bring Kylo out of the darkness realistically. Finn has been friendzoned which was the right thing to do but if you can imagine Kylo sitting down with a therapist after the trilogy and explaining everything that went down; I can't imagine that the joy of a new friend being the reason or a long lost cousin. He's going to fall in love just like his father and grandfather.
Man Born I love your reasoning! I’ve been thinking similarly as well. Disney might as well go big or go home. Friendship is powerful, but I believe that in order to make this trilogy a timeless classic, they will have to go a little deeper than that, they’ll have to make the story more raw and emotional.
This is also my opinion. When the family didn't help Ben to come "home", how friendship could? Only a romantic deep love can do miracles. Letting Rey be in love with Poe and letting Kylo be her relative would be cheap. Letting Rey and Kylo fall for each other would make this story BIG.
Also, about the whole fear of Poe and Rey, I remember Mark Hamill saying to Rian about something in TLJ “oh no the fans won’t like that.” And then Rian said something about “well we’re going to make the movie we want to make.” So I think Lucasfilms and the crew will go with the story they originally wanted, backlash be damned. You guys are right: this is Star Wars, it’s not going anywhere 😊
I think their couple relationship is what’s going to be moved along by whatever the plot might be. The way he has looked at her from the start in TFA in like every scene they are in together is like “she is mine” so I think his romantic feelings for her will be further along than Rey’s feelings for him. She’s seen him do a terrible thing and it’s going to take time or a grand gesture on his part to change her feelings. I’ve read somewhere that they get to spend quite a bit of time together in this movie. I can’t wait for that. I’d love a kiss...it could happen...but if they can’t get there in this movie, it will be the next. In the meantime, I’ll be happy with lots of romantic drama between them. Cheers ladies. Another great video!
I just have to say, that I have greatly enjoyed listening to this podcast for this past year. You all have given great analysis in all your videos, that has been much food for thought and also hilarious. You all have made the wait more bearable and fun. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts and analysis post TLJ. See you ladies on the otherside.✌
I just want to say that I love your podcasts so much. I get so excited whenever you post one and I always love how in depth you go into your theories. Your evidence always makes me so confident about being a reylo shipper haha! I hope you guys have a wonderful day and I hope the movie is everything you hope it will be :)
Another great discussion! Adam Driver is a fantastic actor, I love him. I never saw Kylo as totally evil. I could see he was struggling from the start, so I completely saw it the way Adam was portraying it. I'm certain of two things. 1. Kylo is returning to the light and 2. He will develop feelings for Rey.
It’s 2:00 am where I am and here I am... seconds after I got the notification for a new video lolol. Love you guys! Can’t wait to come back here after TLJ!
Great videos! This was one of my favorites. I have almost no doubt that Reylo will happen, I just worry that it won't be as clear as I want it to be in The Last Jedi.
What I expect: Kylo goes turn coat and becomes Ben again. Luke does some OP force powers and makes it to the next film (Since Ms. Fisher is no longer with us) Poe goes a bit rouge and dabbles in extermist activty ala Saw Gerrera Finn and Rose hit it off and survive the movie. Rey is still Rey and people find more ways to complain about her marysueness Oh and who can forget...REYYYYYYLOOOOOOOOO!!!! But what if Rey's real name is Kirah? What will the ship name be? Berah? Kien? Benrah? Kiren?
I always enjoy listening to your videos! They have always been a must for passing time while on break at work, and binge listening on lazy weekends! Please keep up the good work! There are so many men making Star Wars content, its refreshing to get a female prospective on everything! Also, way to get a huge shout out on Vincent Vendetta's Reylo - Part 3 video earlier today! About a 3rd of his video was referencing y'alls' work!
Lee! Have you seen this Tweet: "Adam Driver in THE LAST JEDI obligingly serves the most STAR WARS beefcake since Luke went sleeveless on Dagobah." ~Kyle Buchanan :)
Jeni! OMG I saw that Tweet!!! I am more hopeful than ever that RIAN GETS IT! With everything going on in TLJ, he still made time to include the essential shirtless Kylo scene. Praise you Rian-sama, show me your ways! 😍😍😭
This rabid fan boy loves your videos & I agree with pretty much everything you say here (especially Kylo flesh😍) apart from your need for resolution & answers. I have had to wait for 40 years for a book to have several of my questions answered, "From A Certain Point of View"! I love the mystery & the vagueness. Life is mysterious & vague. We seldom get to see the full picture. Why shouldn't Star Wars reflect that? Plus no one needs to tie anything up in this movie. KK has confirmed that this saga is going on forever now (thank the maker!) Enjoy the ride ladies & I shall continue to enjoy your insightful speculation.
Aaand I totally agree with the eye candy thing. Women had to endure the "male gaze " for so long... I guess men can endure a bit of male eye candy too haha
Holy mother, lee is a native spanish speaker? her english is so good!! Felicidades en tu inglés Lee, me empujas a mejorar el mío jajaja... and also, thanks to the entire SW CONNECTION group! You guys have been amazing these last months (I began listening back in april) thank you for supporting other reylos. I am of the same opinion as mary, that we won't get a kiss or anything like that, but whatever happens in this movie, let's just enjoy it as much as we can, because IT'S STAR WARS! Keep up the good work :)
Hola chicas! ^^ Soy mitad chilena. Aprendí ingles en el pre-escolar y estudie completamente en ingles hasta el 7mo de primaria, mientras que en mi casa me hablaban en español. Después continue mi educación en español hasta que termine la uni y me mude a Estados Unidos. Mi ingles es raro porque pronuncio la mayoría de las palabras con "native fluency", pero porque no tengo educación formal en ingles desde los años 8vo de primaria hasta el postgrado universitario, a veces en los podcasts pronuncio palabras en ingles de forma extraña. Tienen que ver a los fanboys angustiándose por como digo palabras como "melancolía" en ingles -- "It's pronounced mellon-CHOLY, not MELLAN-choly WTF is wrong with you??" Me recuerda a Hermione y Ron - "It's leviOHHHHsa, not levioSAHHHH". Whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Me alegra mucho ver a otras fans de Star Wars, especialmente reylos, de habla hispana. Si todo sale bien vamos a estar celebrando dentro de muy poco! Gracias por escucharnos!
¡Con razón y que bueno! Para serte sincera, y ahora que lo pienso, ni idea de como rayos se pronuncia MELANCHOLIA en inglés :( so kudos to you for trying hahaha ... A mí tambien me alegra mucho saber que hay reylos de habla hispana o latinas, especialmente por todo aquello de que somos "nazis" ante los ojos de antis -.-.... Yo soy Venezolana (born and raised) y pues aprendí inglés tanto en casa como en escuela. And yeah, I get it. I feel like these lasts days, we have all lowered our expectations a bit. And for the better, because we'll focus on just enjoying the movie rather than expecting certain or especific things to happen (but, that doesn't mean I won't be passing out if we get the kiss tho) .. Exactly, *introduce kylo ren's voice* "we'll see" ..only 6 days to go!!!!
Alejandra Miche que genial! Yo soy mexicana, y bueno escuchando los podcast sabía que había personas de diferentes países pero que bonito es saber que eres latinoamerica jaja de hecho tus opiniones son de las que más me gustan de todas las personas que participan en los podcast!
Love your vids, I feel Kylo will save his girl rey from snoke lend his saber to her and kick some imperial guards butt. As for Luke I hope doesn't die.
When you were talking about Snoke not noticing about how Kylo doesn't really hate Rey but kind of admires her power, it reminded me something very similar, kind of the same dinamic in Harry Potter. You know, Voldemort's worst mistake was how he didn't get the love that Snape had for Lily, and that love was the thing that got Snape to join Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix. Maybe it's something very similar, based on the torture scene...
Hey Lee ! No sabía que el español es tu lengua materna! Que agradable sorpresa escucharte decir "Los Últimos Jedi" en mi idioma. Excelente podcast como siempre, siempre me alegran el día , y realmente espero que tus predicciones se cumplan!
Thanks girls! Spoilers? Anyways, I think might get some sort of drama between Kylo and Rey here with probably subtle hints of attraction. Whether they’ll capitalize on that tension in 9 is something interesting to look forward to!
Cole 999 **** spoiler warning*** I believe the reylo plot since TFA and actually enjoyed the late night Force Skype between her in kylo LOL but will they not be disappointed? it feels like they gave so much reylo comfirmation throughout the movie and then took it mostly away at the end. With kylo Ren ordering Reys ship be destroyed with no thought then vowing to find her and kill her. Yes it gave a tad bit of hope when they was still seeing eachother without the manipulation of snoke but then but then again it left it up for interpretation Especially at the end with the, 'hi I'm Rey". oh I know I'm Poe. Proceed 2 Googly eyeing and smile. It looks like another 2 years old will reylo really happen or not but now it looks like the poe and Rey shippers can actually have a little bit of Hope unfortunately. On a random thought I guess it really wasn't important where snoke came from lmao he was a prick anyway
I love your channel❤️ I just have one wish that I really want to come true, I would really love to see Rey and Kylo team up and fight. We have already seen little clues to suggest that this might happen so I am pretty excited. If this does happen I want them to at least hug or something after they finish the fight! It may be too far out there but if it does happen it will be one of the best moments of my life!!😆😉
I’m super worried that Rey and Kylo are related. I saw somewhere that Rian Johnson went with who JJ Abrams wanted to be Rey’s parents and he said something like, “it doesn’t mean that a lot of thought didn’t go into this.” And that paired with Daisy’s comment that she thought that her parents were obvious has me really scared that Luke is her father. I will be so mad if she’s a Skywalker. And the idea that this big connection that Rey and Kylo has is a result of them being cousins, will be really dumb and anticlimactic.
Lol, we are bringing copies too! You can find it on our Tumblr: starwarsconnection.tumblr.com/post/168350216304/in-todays-episode-we-share-our-predictions-for
First off I really enjoy yours podcast I was put on to it randomly 3 weeks ago and just devoured all of y'all's content within a few days at work. But I feel fairly certain that kylo Ren is going to reach out to Ray and turn away from snoke butt the scene of him in the trailer is a different scene then Ray's reaction. It was cut to make you think they're together and I'm not saying they won't be but the scene they showed isn't her reaction There's a promo trailer that proves that. Which actually makes me glad they didn't give away that scene in continuity so at least it'll be a little different
Taiwan version of the trailer has titles and the "Raw power quote" has a "You element" in the female release , so it's technically proved that it's Rey who is Snoke talking to. (But it can be just a bad translation to titles)
I think Rey does come from the the dark side, maybe even has imperial roots. Considering visual storytelling - when we first see Kylo, he is coming out from a bright, floodlit ship into the darkness of the night. When we are introduced to Rey, she has this cloth mask and googles made from stormtrooper "shades", and she comes out of the ruined, dark star destroyer into the light of the day. That looks very symbolic imo.
Holy shrimp, you guys...I just watched Life As A House and it destroyed me in the best possible way. Just WOW. So glad you mentioned it! Hayden so deserves the benefit of the doubt.
in sith histories, it's common that the apprentice eventually turns against the master, so i'm pretty sure that Kylo Ren will turn against Snoke at some time
Today is the day!!!!! I'm so excited! I just wanted you all Star Wars Connection members to know that your podcasts had given me life for the past two years. So I have to thank you for your dedication, your awesome analysis and also for all the fangirling haha I love that you are all very nice and let people ship what they want, but I also love that you don't take shit from any of those antis and macho part of the fandom that underestimate the female fandom. Anyway, enjoy the movie!!
I just recently stumbled across this whole Reylo ship and I really like your videos and the idea of them having some kind of romance. Those theories are really interesting and (at least for me) improve this new trilogy since I liked the tfa alright but wasn’t too impressed by it. While I think all those analysis sound really promising, I’m a bit cautious about it and try not to get my hopes up too much (probably because some of it reminds me of all those Sherlock/John theories a year ago which turned out to be wrong and overanalyzing the possible clues), but luckily the next movie is right around the corner and will hopefully reveal whether there really is a possibility for Reylo. I’m crossing my fingers that you are right!
i don't think so, poe rey would be ugg for me ,but i think personally that LF have push Reylo in the marketing so so much,how would they take that back and take back the reylo chemistry in the F.A ? even if general audiences don't accept it
Of course. Why do they put Rey and Kylo together in marketing (toys for example, this is very significant, the music playlist that was confirmed as an official one - so many romantic songs are in Kylo's and Rey's playlists) if they don't plan their connection????
Yes. Why do they put Rey and Kylo together in the marketing (toys, the official SW music playlists etc) if they don't plan to put them together in the movies???????? What is the logic???
About Jakku... in the book Aftermath there is an information that 1000 years BBY some great disaster turned this green planet into a desert. In the new canon the sith order starting from Darth Bane is 1000 years old (this info comes from leaked vidual dictionary for TLJ). The Jakku's calamity reminds me of the old republic empreror -Darth Vitiate- who drained an entire planet's -Nathema- forcefield and turned that planet into a one huge graveyard. Palpatine said in that book that something very important happened on Jakku and will happen in the future, so he had some secret laboratories there. I think that place is connected to Snoke somehow. Jakku is like paradise lost and Snoke himself - as Abrams said - like the fallen angel...
about Hux i think in the trailer we are seeing him in the 3rd act. he is in the thrown room i suspect when Rey enters .. not sure if he makes it out but looks like he is in the 3rd act.
I downloaded the free trial of youtube red so I could watch this on a plane ride to New York haha And we arrive back home the day before The Last Jedi comes out! It’s hard to believe we’re this close. I already go nuts over any footage or pictures so I’ll probably go ballistic when we see the movie!
I'm sorry but i didn't get romance in rouge one. I got two people who ended up respecting each other after finding out that their initial judgements of one another were false.
We have seen today in italy, it was good, but i almost lost faith in reylo :( . I'm really curious about your opinion. Star wars connection you're my only hope
LOL! I'm all for the stroking of the hair or face! Who said that by the way. :-) ...and what in the world is a TLJ Bingo Extravaganza? ...and if you saw the movie how was the Reylo connection, will it disappoint OR be on point?
When are you guys going to release some videos about TLJ? I have become a huge fan of yours in the past few months and I'm really just dying to hear what you think. There is no limit to the depth and analysis I want to hear from you on it!! I want like frame by frame analysis!!!!
My way out idea? : I think Snoke's end game has always been Rey. I think Snoke used Kylo to get to Rey because of their connection (that their connection is an old one). Snoke saw her in Kylo's mind once while he was preying on him and corrupted Kylo further with the intention to get to her one day knowing destiny would have them cross paths one day and Snoke could then make his move...
just wanted to point out, i see similarities between the roles of Kylo an Hux in the First Order and the role of Prince Valorum and General Darth Vader of the original story treatment of The Star Wars. there’s a comic book series made from lucas’ original story you guys should check out!
I think the best direction that Reylo can take is the way the dark side ending of Knights of the Old Republic took....now I know that the pre-Disney LucasArts declared that canonically the Light side ending was the proper one but none of that matters anymore since ALL things related to KotOR are no longer canon in any capacity and if it gets adopted in any way it will be through remakes or callbacks to certain events from there. But yeah....the best way this can go is Snoke turns Rey to the dark side, sends her to kill Kylo, but they instead end up joining forces and taking control of the galaxy.
*NO SPOILERS* I live in France (an American study abroad student) and Star Wars released yesterday.. unfortunately for me... In French... and though I did not understand as much dialog as I would have hoped. I can say... WOW. The new song by Ed Sheehan "perfect" listen to it right before watching this film cause its very fitting.
Star Wars Connection my daughter and I will be in London end of the month. We'll be rewatching in English there. France is very proud of their language so it is very difficult to find any major blockbuster movies in English... and certainly not in the small city I live in. Btw I love this channel. I'm a criminology/sociology major and so I look at these movies through the lens of "cause and effect"... why do this person, these people, or this situation happen. I'm particularly fond of Kylo Ren and find some very interesting results of a past I'm all to familiar with myself and find I understand his motivations pretty well actually. To me he's very relatable in terms of someone whose been: 1) willfully abandoned by his parents for their jobs... 2) been lied to about his heritage 3) been forced ( through Jedi training to suppress his feelings of abandonment, anger, and resentment) never a good idea... we see this kind of situation in American culture far too much with that results being hyper aggressive emotionally stunted men... 4) and Kylo has been manipulated... preyed on by a predator in Snoke... Of course he's a mess... seriously more people can relate to at least one of those situations... than not... Anyway I enjoy the channel and would love to chat more... cause this stuff is fascinating for me.
I think Kylo does put his hand out, but to collect his lightsaber back from Rey not for Rey take his hand .-. Btw. How cool would it be if Rey was Ben's padawan at first at the Jedi Temple and that's how they have a force bond together cos Padawans and their masters usually have force bonds too. Maybe Ben was the one that sent Rey to Jakku and then erased her memory, then destroying the temple cos he didn't have the heart to kill his own padawan. But idkkk :/ cos Padawans don't usually start off so young from 5-9 before she was sent off. Either Padawan or just student?
I got to see the movie and well.... I liked it in some ways, but for the most part I didn't like it. I'm interested to see what you girls have to say about it all.
I was really disappointed by it. The execution of certain things and many of the plot points really killed it for me, and not in a good way. IDK about anyone else but I'm not even looking forward to IX at this point.
Rey of Jakku I agree and so do most of my friends who are die hard Star Wars fans. It's a good movie and well done in some ways, just not what I expected. For me as you said, the plot points really ruined it.
Guys, go watch it again. We've been obsessing about this movie for years - of course it was bound to not live up to some expectations. But damn it's a Star Wars movie - how bad can it be? XD
I thnk Reylo will be very subtle and the romantic drama will be between Fill and Rose.... Unfortunately.....but I love the fact that a asien and a black person fall in love. For one there is no white person involved!
I disagree with the comment that the identity of Rey's parents does not matter. Rey's identity was a question that was loomed over us during the entirety off The Force Awakens. Not only do you have the context of Star Wars being about family when you talk about an existing force user, but there was the fact the she was better than everyone at everything during the movie. Without a reasonable explanation, this will make Rey a text book Mary Sue (and cheapens the story, imo).
Unless they are setting it up for another twist, it looks like the new movie has confirmed my concern about her identity or origins. (My original theory was/ is that she was actually born of the force like Anakin).
I just get back from the cinema. IT'S BLOW MY MIND. NOT in the Way i expect. I'M afraid they make a trick on us. I GIVE NO SPOILERS but afer all i Will discuss with pleasure:)
it would be funny if kylo extends his hand to finn/luke/lea or someone other than Rey. I think what the marketing dep. is trying to do, is to capitalise on Reylo to sell tickets. i think its just a smart edit to get the reylo fandom intrested even more. they play up to other fractions of the SW fandom as well - so everydoby gets something they like... everyone is intrested and happy. handom fractions get into fight on who is right - ppl are talking, the hype is sustained. and $$$$$$$$$$ are flowing. smart promo team.
pink sloth I always get the feeling that that scene is from a vision, that it’s symbolic of how Kylo feels about wanting to help Rey, not necessarily that he will do that exact thing. I could of course be completely wrong though haha.

Luke does some OP force powers and makes it to the next film (Since Ms. Fisher is no longer with us)
Poe goes a bit rouge and dabbles in extermist activty ala Saw Gerrera
Finn and Rose hit it off and survive the movie.
Rey is still Rey and people find more ways to complain about her marysueness
Oh and who can forget...REYYYYYYLOOOOOOOOO!!!!
But what if Rey's real name is Kirah?
What will the ship name be? Berah? Kien? Benrah? Kiren?
I always enjoy listening to your videos! They have always been a must for passing time while on break at work, and binge listening on lazy weekends! Please keep up the good work! There are so many men making Star Wars content, its refreshing to get a female prospective on everything!
Also, way to get a huge shout out on Vincent Vendetta's Reylo - Part 3 video earlier today! About a 3rd of his video was referencing y'alls' work!
Hey Gregory B, thanks for the heads up! We haven't had a chance to watch Vincent Vendetta's new Reylo video, but will check it out. ^^
As usual, meme game on point
Lee! Have you seen this Tweet: "Adam Driver in THE LAST JEDI obligingly serves the most STAR WARS beefcake since Luke went sleeveless on Dagobah." ~Kyle Buchanan :)

I was really hoping for Adam Driver shirtless! Great news! *fanning self*

Considering rey and ben will come really close to each other I can't see ben letting poe flirt with her ^^
fczler 1896 also a force bond being something that would be very weird if she were with someone different romantically.
It would get awkward. Imagine Force linking during cuddle times with some other dude/chick. 😐
Star Wars Connection, exactly.
Star Wars connection-the ONLY channel who’s Last Jedi review interests me in the slightest. I’m ready for that vid, ladies!!!!
Thanks girls! Spoilers?
Anyways, I think might get some sort of drama between Kylo and Rey here with probably subtle hints of attraction. Whether they’ll capitalize on that tension in 9 is something interesting to look forward to!
Hey Neha! Long time no see. ^^
There are spoilers for the Phasma novel around 40:31 to 45:00 area. Otherwise a lot of speculation.
Star Wars Connection Thank you! I love your podcast and can’t wait to listen to this one :)
SPOILER WARNING
DOUBLE SPOILER WARNING
Oooooooh boi. Reylo will not disappoint you in this film.
Cole 999 **** spoiler warning***
I believe the reylo plot since TFA and actually enjoyed the late night Force Skype between her in kylo LOL but will they not be disappointed? it feels like they gave so much reylo comfirmation throughout the movie and then took it mostly away at the end. With kylo Ren ordering Reys ship be destroyed with no thought then vowing to find her and kill her. Yes it gave a tad bit of hope when they was still seeing eachother without the manipulation of snoke but then but then again it left it up for interpretation Especially at the end with the, 'hi I'm Rey". oh I know I'm Poe. Proceed 2 Googly eyeing and smile. It looks like another 2 years old will reylo really happen or not but now it looks like the poe and Rey shippers can actually have a little bit of Hope unfortunately. On a random thought I guess it really wasn't important where snoke came from lmao he was a prick anyway
Lol you got that right!! 😍
i know right its sooogoood :)))) we need more!!
I love your channel❤️ I just have one wish that I really want to come true, I would really love to see Rey and Kylo team up and fight. We have already seen little clues to suggest that this might happen so I am pretty excited. If this does happen I want them to at least hug or something after they finish the fight! It may be too far out there but if it does happen it will be one of the best moments of my life!!😆😉
I love you guys
I’m super worried that Rey and Kylo are related. I saw somewhere that Rian Johnson went with who JJ Abrams wanted to be Rey’s parents and he said something like, “it doesn’t mean that a lot of thought didn’t go into this.” And that paired with Daisy’s comment that she thought that her parents were obvious has me really scared that Luke is her father. I will be so mad if she’s a Skywalker. And the idea that this big connection that Rey and Kylo has is a result of them being cousins, will be really dumb and anticlimactic.
I need that bingo card to bring to the movie, is there a link for it? :0
Lol, we are bringing copies too! You can find it on our Tumblr: starwarsconnection.tumblr.com/post/168350216304/in-todays-episode-we-share-our-predictions-for
First off I really enjoy yours podcast I was put on to it randomly 3 weeks ago and just devoured all of y'all's content within a few days at work. But I feel fairly certain that kylo Ren is going to reach out to Ray and turn away from snoke butt the scene of him in the trailer is a different scene then Ray's reaction. It was cut to make you think they're together and I'm not saying they won't be but the scene they showed isn't her reaction There's a promo trailer that proves that. Which actually makes me glad they didn't give away that scene in continuity so at least it'll be a little different
Looks like we are on the same page, Brandyn. Thanks for your comment!
Taiwan version of the trailer has titles and the "Raw power quote" has a "You element" in the female release , so it's technically proved that it's Rey who is Snoke talking to. (But it can be just a bad translation to titles)
I think Rey does come from the the dark side, maybe even has imperial roots. Considering visual storytelling - when we first see Kylo, he is coming out from a bright, floodlit ship into the darkness of the night. When we are introduced to Rey, she has this cloth mask and googles made from stormtrooper "shades", and she comes out of the ruined, dark star destroyer into the light of the day. That looks very symbolic imo.
@Sorine9, great comment.
Thank You. :) I love your thoughts and analysys, it inspires to look for all that symbolism and meaning.
Holy shrimp, you guys...I just watched Life As A House and it destroyed me in the best possible way. Just WOW. So glad you mentioned it! Hayden so deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Exactly, EXACTLY.
in sith histories, it's common that the apprentice eventually turns against the master, so i'm pretty sure that Kylo Ren will turn against Snoke at some time
Today is the day!!!!! I'm so excited! I just wanted you all Star Wars Connection members to know that your podcasts had given me life for the past two years. So I have to thank you for your dedication, your awesome analysis and also for all the fangirling haha I love that you are all very nice and let people ship what they want, but I also love that you don't take shit from any of those antis and macho part of the fandom that underestimate the female fandom.
Anyway, enjoy the movie!!
Thanks so much, Ans! Hope you enjoy the movie too.
Man, I’m so hyped for this film! Thanks for sharing your opinions.
Awesome work, guys! What's the bingo prize?
REYLO is enough prize lol. 😂 ❤️
Amazing video❤.
I just recently stumbled across this whole Reylo ship and I really like your videos and the idea of them having some kind of romance. Those theories are really interesting and (at least for me) improve this new trilogy since I liked the tfa alright but wasn’t too impressed by it. While I think all those analysis sound really promising, I’m a bit cautious about it and try not to get my hopes up too much (probably because some of it reminds me of all those Sherlock/John theories a year ago which turned out to be wrong and overanalyzing the possible clues), but luckily the next movie is right around the corner and will hopefully reveal whether there really is a possibility for Reylo. I’m crossing my fingers that you are right!
Hey Mause, (great name, btw lol) we are in the same boat as you. Hopefully we will all be pleasantly surprised come December 13th-15th. XD
I am a new subscriber and member of the fandom, but I love your podcasts. This is brilliant!
Thank you! Glad you found us. ^^
I love your podcasts and I can't wait to hear your review of The Last Jedi! :)
Did you guys seen the lego sets? I think Hux is alive, at least on Crait right?
Rey might be a 1/2 sister to Poe too btw lol
Another wonderful video! Thanks guys 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG I want Rey to be a Kenobi and a palpatine!
i don't think so, poe rey would be ugg for me ,but i think personally that LF have push Reylo in the marketing so so much,how would they take that back and take back the reylo chemistry in the F.A ? even if general audiences don't accept it
Of course. Why do they put Rey and Kylo together in marketing (toys for example, this is very significant, the music playlist that was confirmed as an official one - so many romantic songs are in Kylo's and Rey's playlists) if they don't plan their connection????
Yes. Why do they put Rey and Kylo together in the marketing (toys, the official SW music playlists etc) if they don't plan to put them together in the movies???????? What is the logic???
It's 6 AM in Brazil .. How can I sleep ? Hahahahahha love you girls, keep up the good work !!
It's 2AM here, lol. TLJ needs to get here so we can finally get our normal sleep patterns back. XD
Star Wars Connection ua-cam.com/video/t3fswebEHj0/v-deo.html leaks from the movie, look this reylo it's happening! 😍
About Jakku... in the book Aftermath there is an information that 1000 years BBY some great disaster turned this green planet into a desert. In the new canon the sith order starting from Darth Bane is 1000 years old (this info comes from leaked vidual dictionary for TLJ). The Jakku's calamity reminds me of the old republic empreror -Darth Vitiate- who drained an entire planet's -Nathema- forcefield and turned that planet into a one huge graveyard. Palpatine said in that book that something very important happened on Jakku and will happen in the future, so he had some secret laboratories there. I think that place is connected to Snoke somehow. Jakku is like paradise lost and Snoke himself - as Abrams said - like the fallen angel...
about Hux i think in the trailer we are seeing him in the 3rd act. he is in the thrown room i suspect when Rey enters .. not sure if he makes it out but looks like he is in the 3rd act.
maybe the reason JJ retracted the statement of Rey's Parents is not in episode 7, Is because Obi Wan Kenobi's had a line in the movie?
I downloaded the free trial of youtube red so I could watch this on a plane ride to New York haha
And we arrive back home the day before The Last Jedi comes out! It’s hard to believe we’re this close. I already go nuts over any footage or pictures so I’ll probably go ballistic when we see the movie!
Enjoy your trip! Hopefully good news when you get home! ^^
Star Wars Connection Thank you!
why does Rey have kylo rens light sabre? force bond?
I think Poe based on the actor's age is a bit too old for Rey so i am not worried at all!
Are you guys going to do a video after you have seen the film
I'm sorry but i didn't get romance in rouge one. I got two people who ended up respecting each other after finding out that their initial judgements of one another were false.
Shooting from the hip Guy Same, and personally I like them better as friends.
if rey and poe happen, i will jump off a cliff. give me finnrey over that shit
We have seen today in italy, it was good, but i almost lost faith in reylo :( . I'm really curious about your opinion. Star wars connection you're my only hope
@Annamaria, believe in your dreams. Reylo is happening. XD
Star Wars Connection i hope xD after seeing the movie,now most than ever, i fear the dame-rey
Not more than Yoda's face when he leans in and whispers "You will be..." XD
Star Wars Connection ahahahaha
Having seen the movie myself, I'm waiting desperately for you reactions to TLJ
Watched episode 8 last night... Pleased hurry!!! I want to hear what you girls have to say!!!
LOL! I'm all for the stroking of the hair or face! Who said that by the way. :-)
...and what in the world is a TLJ Bingo Extravaganza?
...and if you saw the movie how was the Reylo connection, will it disappoint OR be on point?
When are you guys going to release some videos about TLJ? I have become a huge fan of yours in the past few months and I'm really just dying to hear what you think. There is no limit to the depth and analysis I want to hear from you on it!! I want like frame by frame analysis!!!!
i think i love mary haha
If Kylo kills Hux, I think it would be in Episode IX
My way out idea? : I think Snoke's end game has always been Rey. I think Snoke used Kylo to get to Rey because of their connection (that their connection is an old one). Snoke saw her in Kylo's mind once while he was preying on him and corrupted Kylo further with the intention to get to her one day knowing destiny would have them cross paths one day and Snoke could then make his move...
just wanted to point out, i see similarities between the roles of Kylo an Hux in the First Order and the role of Prince Valorum and General Darth Vader of the original story treatment of The Star Wars. there’s a comic book series made from lucas’ original story you guys should check out!
Oooh, nice! Thanks for the tip!
Ladies! Hurry up and see the movie so we can talk about some amazing scenes! Hahaha 😍
I think the best direction that Reylo can take is the way the dark side ending of Knights of the Old Republic took....now I know that the pre-Disney LucasArts declared that canonically the Light side ending was the proper one but none of that matters anymore since ALL things related to KotOR are no longer canon in any capacity and if it gets adopted in any way it will be through remakes or callbacks to certain events from there. But yeah....the best way this can go is Snoke turns Rey to the dark side, sends her to kill Kylo, but they instead end up joining forces and taking control of the galaxy.
*NO SPOILERS*
I live in France (an American study abroad student) and Star Wars released yesterday.. unfortunately for me... In French... and though I did not understand as much dialog as I would have hoped. I can say... WOW.
The new song by Ed Sheehan "perfect" listen to it right before watching this film cause its very fitting.
Laural, there's got to be an English subtitled screening somewhere out there! Good luck! ^^
Star Wars Connection my daughter and I will be in London end of the month. We'll be rewatching in English there. France is very proud of their language so it is very difficult to find any major blockbuster movies in English... and certainly not in the small city I live in.
Btw I love this channel. I'm a criminology/sociology major and so I look at these movies through the lens of "cause and effect"... why do this person, these people, or this situation happen.
I'm particularly fond of Kylo Ren and find some very interesting results of a past I'm all to familiar with myself and find I understand his motivations pretty well actually. To me he's very relatable in terms of someone whose been:
1) willfully abandoned by his parents for their jobs...
2) been lied to about his heritage
3) been forced ( through Jedi training to suppress his feelings of abandonment, anger, and resentment) never a good idea... we see this kind of situation in American culture far too much with that results being hyper aggressive emotionally stunted men...
4) and Kylo has been manipulated... preyed on by a predator in Snoke...
Of course he's a mess... seriously more people can relate to at least one of those situations... than not...
Anyway I enjoy the channel and would love to chat more... cause this stuff is fascinating for me.
Well I’m in serious need of a new vid.
I think Kylo does put his hand out, but to collect his lightsaber back from Rey not for Rey take his hand .-.
Btw. How cool would it be if Rey was Ben's padawan at first at the Jedi Temple and that's how they have a force bond together cos Padawans and their masters usually have force bonds too. Maybe Ben was the one that sent Rey to Jakku and then erased her memory, then destroying the temple cos he didn't have the heart to kill his own padawan. But idkkk :/ cos Padawans don't usually start off so young from 5-9 before she was sent off. Either Padawan or just student?
Lol.
Star Wars Connection I just watched it and you were right, he was putting his hand out
Going to see it a day earlier in Europe, and wanted to say thank you for turning me into a devout Reylo shipper.
Enjoy!
How does it feel to have your entire wish list granted?
Bellatrix = Hux, Snape = Kylo Ren
I got to see the movie and well.... I liked it in some ways, but for the most part I didn't like it. I'm interested to see what you girls have to say about it all.
Sorry to hear. :/
We will see it soon and are very hopeful based on what we've heard so far.
I was really disappointed by it. The execution of certain things and many of the plot points really killed it for me, and not in a good way. IDK about anyone else but I'm not even looking forward to IX at this point.
Rey of Jakku I agree and so do most of my friends who are die hard Star Wars fans. It's a good movie and well done in some ways, just not what I expected. For me as you said, the plot points really ruined it.
Guys, go watch it again. We've been obsessing about this movie for years - of course it was bound to not live up to some expectations. But damn it's a Star Wars movie - how bad can it be? XD
I thnk Reylo will be very subtle and the romantic drama will be between Fill and Rose.... Unfortunately.....but I love the fact that a asien and a black person fall in love. For one there is no white person involved!
I can tell you all that you want about Reylo in TLJ but you have to ask me :)
I'll put a big
DON'T READ UNLESS YOU WANT DETAILS
Before answering ^^
Eye 🍭🍭🍭! It is telling to me that Kathleen Kennedy, a heterosexual woman, suggested Mr. Driver for the lead role. She knows what's good 💋💋💋
We were right from day 1 ...
2days to go..........
OMG YES!!!!! 😭
I disagree with the comment that the identity of Rey's parents does not matter. Rey's identity was a question that was loomed over us during the entirety off The Force Awakens. Not only do you have the context of Star Wars being about family when you talk about an existing force user, but there was the fact the she was better than everyone at everything during the movie. Without a reasonable explanation, this will make Rey a text book Mary Sue (and cheapens the story, imo).
Some of us agree with your comment, Lord Markov. This is one of those polarizing topics that can be debated for days on end - and we have, lol.
Unless they are setting it up for another twist, it looks like the new movie has confirmed my concern about her identity or origins. (My original theory was/ is that she was actually born of the force like Anakin).
Luke is going to die early in this movie. Kylo is going to become the last Jedi.
Clay Robert But he’s not a Jedi.
I just get back from the cinema. IT'S BLOW MY MIND. NOT in the Way i expect. I'M afraid they make a trick on us. I GIVE NO SPOILERS but afer all i Will discuss with pleasure:)
Let's talk more tomorrow. ^^
it would be funny if kylo extends his hand to finn/luke/lea or someone other than Rey. I think what the marketing dep. is trying to do, is to capitalise on Reylo to sell tickets. i think its just a smart edit to get the reylo fandom intrested even more. they play up to other fractions of the SW fandom as well - so everydoby gets something they like... everyone is intrested and happy. handom fractions get into fight on who is right - ppl are talking, the hype is sustained. and $$$$$$$$$$ are flowing. smart promo team.
I'm pretty sure he is not holding his hand out to Rey. Like you I'm hoping it's Luke or Leia.
pink sloth I always get the feeling that that scene is from a vision, that it’s symbolic of how Kylo feels about wanting to help Rey, not necessarily that he will do that exact thing.
I could of course be completely wrong though haha.
Story is leaking and it sounds real bad, Finns going on an extremely boring filler mission "codebreaking" that'll take forever.
