AHEM *taps sign* #TheHuntForBenSolo

There are more of us, Poe.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

This film will probably be the worst of the saga forevermore. There's no fixing it or retconning it. But despite that, there's still ways to put a band-aid on the wound. Y'know what I'm about to say?

just thought about how he owns nothing in the world but that leaf and he gave it to HER 😭 I’M FINE

I'm both laughing 🤣 and crying 😭 at this!

Most pushback I've seen on #TheHuntforBenSolo has been that it would lessen his sacrifice. Which, how? Genuinely, how does it lessen the act of selflessness? Are you saying being good only counts if you suffer? Like what are you saying?

The tragedy of his arc in TLJ is that this is now his chosen identity. He comes to realize that he doesn’t need to be defined by his blood legacy (Vader)…he can be his own person…but in his own mind that person is an unforgivable monster. It’s who he thinks he is “meant to be.”

If you have really studied this scene, it is in no way a surprise when in TLJ Snoke can literally feel that doing this has only made Ben even more conflicted than he already was. “Kylo” is a facade. He’s forcing himself to be that persona. It is not something he has fallen into.

This scene is not looked at closely enough by people I think. As Han shows his son continued unconditional love even as he has just been pierced by his blade, Ben for a moment looks remorseful over what he has just done. That’s the incredible thing that happens here.

“The characters make illogical choices” you mean like humans?

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

For all the flaws of the sequel trilogy and Star Wars, I still have deep, deep affection for "What if we had a guy who was trying to be Darth Vader and was just...really bad at it"

Basically I think TLJ rewards you for paying attention in TFA and TROS punishes you for paying attention in TLJ

And you know my point here isn’t that I’m some genius who can perfectly predict stories…it’s that the Luke aspect of TLJ was in no way a contradiction of TFA. It fit with it just fine. It made sense. TFA never tells you to expect otherwise!

And so that was not something that ever really shocked me in TLJ…it shocked me in TFA instead. I just wanted to know what specifically happened that made him so depressed.

Because why would he be hiding on an island if he wanted to be involved? It didn’t make any sense. He also looked really upset to see her to me. Look at that face! That is NOT the face of someone who wants to see that lightsaber handed to him!

Something I also want to say is that I wrote a “what happens next” little one-shot fic while TFA was still in theaters where Luke’s first words to Rey were “No,” and he handed the lightsaber back to her and walked away. It seemed obvious! Idk if I can find it.

I knew in TFA that their relationship was going to be the key drama of the trilogy…Will she bring the lost Skywalker prince back home? Will he turn her to the dark to join him? Will he die rather than join her on the light? The romance always did excite me as an aspect of that.

I was a 2015 Reylo but I was fully prepared at that time for them to turn out to be siblings because I expected them to write the more predictable thing. I was delighted when TLJ leaned into them being totally unrelated and built up their relationship to potentially be romantic!

this is how Solo 2 can still happen--

Earliest draft of IX that we know of has him redeemed as he dies.

the forbes article about how "willow" was (relatively) cheap makes me think another point going on here is lucasfilm spending years as the d+ show production company, then when they had an internal film they wanted to make, the suits didn't allow it. rule of "one for them, one for me" broken.
