Rey and Kylo Ren were connected in The Last Jedi in a way never before seen in the galaxy far, far away, but that wasn’t enough for some. Many fans hope Episode IX will make their Star Wars “shipping” dreams come true by making “Reylo” a rey-ality. Is it merely wishful thinking though that two enemies will find love in each other’s arms, or is it their destiny to end up together? The answer might already have been found in the unlikeliest of places–their lightsaber fighting techniques, which might prove they are already paired up together even if they don’t know it. On this edition of Nerdist News Jessica Chobot explains how the discovery of one Tumblr user could mean the future of Kylo and Rey’s relationship is already written, after they realized her lightsaber moves on Ahch-To were identical to the ones Ben Solo later used against his uncle Luke on Crait. Do these movements show they are already connected on a deeper level than even they might realize, or is it just a coincidence? It wouldn’t be the first time the franchise used similar imagery to connect events and people. And why might The Force Awakens’ junior novelization be yet another clue in what will happen with this “will-they-or-won’t-they” twosome?

As the boss of Lucasfilm, it was presumably her decision to hire and then fire the directors of Solo A Star Wars Story and Star Wars Episode 9. She is also seen as the driving force between the biggest disturbance in the Force in the history of the franchise. The Last Jedi split fans and inspired a backlash of unprecedented fury and vitriol which many see as a major contributing factor to the failure of the Solo spin-off. Kennedy has always been seen more as a business than creative leader, but with attacks on both fronts, new reports indicate she has either stepped aside or been moved away from Episode 9.

It’s been four years since the animated series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” was abruptly canceled, leaving stories unfinished and fans clamoring for more.
At San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, a panel on the show’s 10th anniversary revealed that the series is being resurrected. The audience went nuts.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi just turned a year old, which means it’s a great time to revisit one of its best scenes and dig into what makes it so special. The analysis here comes from Script to Screen, a fantastic Twitter account that yesterday posted a comparison of the end of the film’s Throne Room sequence, with the final, emotional confrontation between Rey and Kylo Ren amidst the wreckage of Snoke’s former seat of power. Watch it: on the top, the scene as it plays in the film, and on the bottom, the script’s version. First, the obvious difference: in the script version, Luke’s lightsaber is on for a lot of the scene, whereas in the film it’s deactivated as soon as the battle’s over. It’s an elegant change for the better, I think. While having it on foregrounds it in the viewer’s minds for Rey’s eventual decision to reclaim it for herself, it’s a lot more subtle and, frankly, logical, for it to be off the whole time. What’s really striking, though, about this comparison is how minimal the script is. It’s all in the dialogue, and the strength of the scene comes down entirely to the emotional, desperate, yearning performances of Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver. There are a couple ways to interpret this scene. The first is that Ben is simply manipulating Rey, negging her in order to push her to join him. The other is that Ben really believes what he’s saying, as cruel as it is. He calls Rey nothing because he authentically believes the galaxy has rejected both of them, and he wants to let her know that he cares about her, that he finds meaning in their connection when no one else does. It’s still a revealing, hurtful line, but a tragic one. Ben’s fatal flaw is how he sees himself and his place in the world, and he fails here by imposing that perspective onto the one person trying to help him.
