Glad you came back! Love your podcasts! So excited about the poster and trailer. The poster in particular was brilliant. So excited on how the Kylo & Rey relationship will develop and hoping the romance happens eventually. It just all makes sense with the storyline so far. IMO it is going to be epic and perhaps unexpected for some. But I trust Rian, I am sure he will do it in the best possible way. He is a great director and even Kathy Kennedy said that after "The Last Jedi" his star will rise.
Thanks for your comment, Ana. 100% agree, and we all trust Rian Johnson implicitly. It is Trevorrow we are worried about, but that's a story for another time. Glad you enjoyed this!
Thank you, Winter. We are starting to get the hang of it; we are all self-taught for this project as far as audio and video editing. Hopefully we will continue to improve. ^^
Thank you! (It's easy to spot the other 80's kids when you mention stuff like He-man and Thundercats lol.) By the way we really liked your previous comment in the Luke podcast. It seems we agree regarding what to expect in The Last Jedi, especially about the tone and character dynamics.
Can I just point out something that I haven't heard any one mention yet, Kylie most dominant and aggressive scene with Rey where the two army already fighting, happens when he first encounters her on Takadona before her force pushes her unconscious. He establishes dominance by positioning himself behind her and fining his lightsaber in a controlled threatening manner and then (and here's the moment no one seems to notice) a storm trooper approaches the pair and he literally moves from behind her to the front of her positioning himself between her and the new threat! Why has no one mentioned this? Am I looking to much into it or dies it seem like he's not only already protective of her but also it feels like he's a teen in his bedroom as his parents walk in and he's like what, I'm not doing anything! Lol
Samantha, thanks for your excellent feedback. We have definitely noticed Kylo Ren's dominant body language when approaching Rey in Takodana. We didn't think he was blocking her off from a new threat when he hears the storm troopers approach; on the contrary, we interpreted that moment as him quickly drawing away from Rey when the stormtroopers approach because he doesn't want to be "caught" with her in that intimate stance - if you look at the clip from TFA, they are positioned as lovers, facing each other with her looking up and him looking down - it almost looks like he's whispering into her ear, except its actually him reading her mind at the time. But he's completely in her personal space, and they are aligned as if they are about to kiss - it's a disarming shot that we believe foreshadows the nature of their future relationship, just like the famous "bridal carry". Compare that Takodana filming choice to the way they shot Finn's confession, with Rey standing a few steps above Finn in the corridor at Maz's Castle. We believe if they had shot that scene with Rey and Finn at eye level - or with Finn looking down at Rey and her up at him - it would have conveyed coded romantic language (i.e., "they could kiss at any time now") and that wasn't intended in the moment, so they solved that by inserting a very obvious heigh disparity that would take some of that body language away and diffuse the romantic tension. We love this type of shot break down and storytelling analysis, and it sounds like you do as well. We highly recommend our "Visual Storytelling in The Force Awakens" part 1 and 2 podcast, where we discuss this kind of thing in detail: th-cam.com/video/1lnjzWf84yo/w-d-xo.html
Star Wars Connection no probs, I'm really loving your channel. So sorry for the typos though, I'm not used to my new phones key board and I was so excited I didn't read through before I posted lol. Keep it up guys and thanks for the link
Hey crew! when they showed that picture of kylo at the panel did you think he had yellow eyes? and what do you think about daisy ridley's red dress at the panel?
Hey Hussain, regarding Kylo's appearance we were hoping for the best but fearing the worst (yellow eyes eyes, but also a horrible scar, zombified makeup like Anakin towards the end of ROTS, etc). We thought best case scenario we would see him masked. We were surprised and relieved that they chose to humanize him, and we all agree that it bodes very well for the redemption arc we were predicting. To answer your question, we didn't see yellow eyes in the picture but it might be wishful projection lol. Daisy's red dress and her serious manner when speaking about Rey's disappointment on meeting Luke and seeing that he's not perfect is...interesting. She is the Anakin and the Luke of this trilogy, so we shouldn't be surprised to see her tempted by the dark side. How far will she go though? Maybe somewhere in between Anakin and Luke? It really gives you a lot to think about. We doubt she will ever go so far as to kill younglings (or kill any good guys) because Disney is probably very aware of her importance as a role model for little girls everywhere and they want to sell merchandise, but it's still possible that she will fall to the dark side to some degree. What do you think?
thank you so much for the insight that's really interesting...I thought kylo might have yellow eyes for a little bit since he felt the darkness after killing han but then when he reaches ach to and sees rey his yellow eyes vanish but that might be a little sappy....what do you think about leia's dark clothing? is there a possibility that she's like luke in return of the jedi?
Sorry he stepped from the front of her around to the other side of her to completely block her off from the view of the storm troopers. Also branded his lightsaber*
Hey Emma, in this context the word "counter" means pretty much the same as anywhere else. Kylo and Rey are counterparts, so on opposing sides but equally matched/skilled/powerful. If one can defeat the other in the video game, it will be because of the players' skill, not because of one character being weaker than the other.
actually a counter is a char that has toolkit to shut down opposing char but it's good neither of you game, 400hrs Overwatch leads to crippling depression 😆
I wonder if Rey is going to re-establish another Jedi order and amend the code Both Rey and Kylo have something in common ( a lack of family, Anakin suffered from a lack of family, and the rules that governed him kept him from protecting his mom, following his heart to Padme and goes to the Dark Side as a way to protect her (of course this is the bate and switch promise), so there's a need for attachment, for family, for love, and maybe Rey/Kylo will balance that "dark side" of the Jedi code that has led so many astray. They know what it is like to be alone. Of course, this is just speculation, but The poster shows Ray's lightsaber splits the both Luke and Kylo are in red (the color of blood, but also the color of Dark side of the force or is that still canon? LOL).
Love all your videos; appreciate the awesome info on Reylo and other theories about this trilogy. I wondered if any of you have seen a video by Crabbok called "Kylo Ren is the real hero of Episode 7" here on youtube? He has some interesting theories on Kylo himself and much of it seems very possible especially as it supports Reylo theory as well....
If you guys are interested I am writing a fanfic called Entwined a Reylo fanfic by -DarkGuardian- you can find it on Wattpad ~ I would love some feedback if you get the time. Keep in mind it is a fan fic so while some will follow the storyline pretty much after the second chapter it's my own story and not likely how episode viii will go. It's my first fan fic and kinda dark but I'm having a blast.
part 2... If they make Kylo-Ren,as, Darth-Vader, The actor who plays Kylo-Ren, won't make that much money,if he play DARTH VADER.... They will get the actor's that, make Darth-Vader,action-looks, as, Darth-Vader, looks... They may piece the actor that plays Kylo-Ren, if and when the helmet comes off???😂

This is really great stuff. Great catch on the He-man comparison!

I think Rey getting together with a transformed Kylo would be ok. I think this should be referred to as "Bey" instead of Reylo.

what is a "counter" in a video game? is this a common thing?
sorry I dont play video games...

actually a counter is a char that has toolkit to shut down opposing char but it's good neither of you game, 400hrs Overwatch leads to crippling depression 😆
huh. I thought that any character could beat another depending on player's skill, but i guess Ive just never played a game like this before...
I wonder if Rey is going to re-establish another Jedi order and amend the code Both Rey and Kylo have something in common ( a lack of family, Anakin suffered from a lack of family, and the rules that governed him kept him from protecting his mom, following his heart to Padme and goes to the Dark Side as a way to protect her (of course this is the bate and switch promise), so there's a need for attachment, for family, for love, and maybe Rey/Kylo will balance that "dark side" of the Jedi code that has led so many astray.

Thank you! We have not seen that, thanks for the recommendation. ^^
Rey is going evil, the plot twist is not "Hey, Ben Solo's back". He's further in the Hero's Journey then her.

Hi... It's the worst think they can do, is make Kylo-Ren,as, DARTH-VADER, over time...👎👎👎...
