I am a guy and I am 100% pro Reylo. I relate to both of them, especially to Kylo and I think their strange relation is an amazing theme for SW. It gives me Revan-Bastila vibes but it's even more engaging. Thank You for these vids, as always great thoughts and analysys, everytime You post I get more knowledge about Star Wars. 8 days!!!!
I can't believe that after two years of speculation and hoping, everything is getting validated, little by little! Come on Rian, don't let me down....I need some intense Reylo drama in my Star Wars! Great job on this video, guys. The Asian marketing is giving me LIFE.
🤗 My favorite RJ post was when someone asked him how KR could possibly be redeemed and he replied: “How indeed.” Obviously it’s going to be an epic story arc!
I'm loving all this coverage, you guys! And your kiss discourse always makes me giggle. I don't have anyone else to talk to about SW this in depth, so I truly appreciate it. Please keep up the great work!
Honestly this is a great video, because you talk about how Star Wars is coming up in the Western parts of the globe. It's amazing how you did this and how you view things. I'm from Asia(Philippines so SW is SUPER famous) and everything you said was spot on true. Anyways I just love your channel and I hope you could continue making videos like this.♥️♥️Lots of Love from a Reylo Fan!!
Hamil-done__ I know right and like remember the Film Theory one? The one that said Kylo and Rey were siblings? I cried because I felt my faith in Reylo waiver, but then I binge watched these vids then I believed again!😂
I laughed so much when you talked about that kdrama show and reylo and compared them. It was so funny and I just giggled so much. Awesome video as always 💙❤️
Hey girls. Another fantastic installment. I'm starting to get spoiled with all these releases on a more routine basis now. Please keep the episodes coming lol. That said so many amazing points in this episode. The stand out for me was the Kdrama guy meets girl formula parallel with Reylo. Totally on point. I cannot wait to see what all of this means for the direction of Reylo. In the home stretch now 10 days and counting. Anyways as always thanks for sharing. Tumbling to my Tumblr page now. May the FORCE be with you ;D
Really enjoy watching your videos and can't wait for Reylo in Episodes VIII and IV! Like you say, the marketing is clearing pointing in that direction! Only 9 days to go! Eeeeeeeek! 😁❤️
Korea and Japan have been a hotbed for merch sales and the like for other hollywood cinematic universes like marvel. Don't think disney's about to pass that up by deceiving them with false reylo hints. Also, judging by general East Asian tastes in romance (dramas, anime, manga et al.) they'll be more than accepting of hot and passionate reylo compared to the west. Trust me, Asians love redemptions and dark romances.
I just had a thought. What if Leia saves or protects Kylo at some point in the movie. Sort of betraying her own rebellion. That would be interesting to see.
I love the conversations that Star Wars Connection has, and I just love Star Wars so much and I am so excited now to see what happens in The Last Jedi. Go Reylo!
Awww man....just two days ago, I found your videos. I'm not even a hardcore fan of SW, but I'm really, REALLY rooting for you and the Reylo community and theorists. It would almost physically hurt if all of this turns out to be wrong XD Hehe, well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I'm also hoping for a kiss in TLJ, but I have been doubting that it will happen lately. But I feel more reassured now that the kiss will happen because of the marketing. I am so incredibly worried and scared and excited for this movie. It almost doesn't feel like a movie to me anymore. Star Wars is my entire world and life! I love your videos. It feels like I'm chatting with you. You girls desirves so much credit for your awesome videos. Thank you for putting so much effort into them 💙❤️
Dionsama kinda cant wait for her to be just to see the devastation of every subscriber here. Lol j/k. Im a subscriber here, but man, i must say, this reminds me a lot of the 70s, before ep 5, regarding luke and Leia...and we all know how that went. :-)
OMG I also want to see Anakin! I want to see an Anakin/Padme reunion soo much...still fanatically hoping she wasn’t dead but just trapped under a spell that awakens or something. Their love story is just too tragic and it’s sad how she never lost faith in him but still died apart from him.
Another great episode! Everytime I see an update I smile, you're the best. I hope you're right about about the kiss but even an almost kiss would satisfy me, I'm just so exited for this movie.
I love your videos sooooo much!! When I first watched TFA at theaters I was initially "ok Finn/rey is going to be end game I guess", but when I bought the DVD and watched it over and over again, I was shifting more towards Reylo, especially during the interrogation scene xD I personally don't think there will be a kiss(it's too soon for me), but I won't lie and say I will freak out if it happens. But I think there will be memorable Reylo moments in TLJ. ❤❤❤❤
Tbf the marketing in China is pretty tightly controlled and they cut down the number of theaters it was shown in pretty soon after it premiered. I think the one place where Star Wars is most popular in Asia is Japan, I think we share more longstanding cinematic and pop culture ties with them than we do with China or Korea (the latter is changing ofc).
When you mentioned Boys over Flowers I about died!!! I'm addicted to the Japanese version Hana Yori Dango. There are so many similarities it's nuts. I love your videos and can't wait for more!!
I'm right there with you hoping for a kiss and a relationship between Kylo and Rey ^_^ I love listening to your videos!! You girls have very good points and definitely helped me see the Reylo already happening in the Force Awakens. Your videos also help me to pass the time while waiting for the Last Jedi to be released....WHICH I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
There's more than meets the eye with Poe. Remember he is one of the first people you see in TFA and he's on Jakku. He is the FIRST person shown in this poster under Luke.
Another person said it means Rey dies which I thought was weird. I said what you guys did to, that Daisy's career is budding and she should be free to explore other projects instead of always being known as Rey from Star Wars. Adam, Oscar and Gwendoline have the luck of having doing other things though Gwendoline is also in another Epic series GOT that may follow her around and Daisy has not and neither has John and I would hate to see them type cast and if I were an actor i would do the same. But, I do think at some point there may be another movie about the Skywalkers or at least have them in it but maybe not totally about them. And you are right, they have lives too. I also think we wail have a Willow type kiss. Kylo will be hit by some space fairy dust and lose his mind. One of you know what I'm talking about. Also, good reference with The Ring of the Nibrlungs, the story of Seigfield and Bunhilde tragic romance.
OMG yassss WILLOW! Mad Martigan and Sorsha FTW 😍 We don't want any sort of involuntary kiss, though - no "dust of broken heart" please. Some of us would be OK with a battlefield kiss like in Willow. Would not mind that one bit.
Yes, you remembered. I emailed you about that a while ago. That is one of the things I though would win one of them over. Since TLJ is taking place right after TFA, it is safe to presume that Rey still has confusing possibly hatred for Kylp/Ben (from now on I'm just using Kylo to mean both aspects here) because I have brought it up in other videos that he had what she never did, a family and the very idea that he would not appreciate that in her mind must seem unheard of. However, she does not know the whole story and I am sure that any conversation she has with Leia will soften her feelings about him. Also, hate is another form of love. A twisted, erratic, almost obsessive and possibly dangerous form but it is a part of it. Fear is the opposite of love, not hate. I think Kylo just going from the end of TFA is "spellbound" by Rey and he will be thinking about her always. I have also said that from both novelizations that he has not lied to her, but they left that part out of the movie and Adam told Larry King that they left out a lot because they knew there were other things at work and would be explained further in this one. I just hope they don't cute and edit out a lot of crucial material. I believe that kylo trusts Rey more than anyone right now and the way the Jedi are, being just as bad as the Sith in deception, she will somehow lose faith in Luke too and she will come to trust Kylo. I don't want an unwanted kiss, involuntary is a weird word and in this case as with the Willow scene I associate it more with spontaneous and unexpected, possibly a bit shocking depending on who's doing the kissing. I can see them fighting where he has disarmed her and he just stops, turns off in lightsaber and talks to her very gently and expresses his feelings towards her, bringing up a part of his past and how it got to this point and it all taking place in a minute or two at most and her softening up and then it happens because I think she will grow to feel sorry for him and may become a little angry at Han and Leia. Kylo loves his mother and is the one person besides Rey that he could never bring himself to kill outright. It will be interesting to see what happens. I got my ticket for the 14th.
I don't think that anything explicitly romantic is going to happen between them in the 8, but i think that the tension is going to get stronger and stronger, they will get closer and it will allow the romance in the 9. It will make the general audience crave something to happen.
Yayy for F4! BoF was my first Kdrama, I am a huge Kdrama fan and addict so it is interesting to hear the similarities between Reylo and Jan Di + Pyo's relationship. Didn't think about that. You girls are definitely optimists, I don't think there will be a kiss but I would put my money on obvious even passionate gazes and lost puppy eyes.
There is a new tv spot where Rey grabs Kylo Light saber. Would love your ladies take on this. Just look up Rey grabs Kylo Light saber in google. Thank you! :)
It is a TV spot, so this was shown nationally. I love your ladies channel. I 100% subscribe and told a few of my close friends about you! :) Keep up the great work.
Hey Alfred, thanks for your comment and thanks for your support of our channel! We are in the process of uploading our "TLJ predictions" podcast, which unfortunately was recorded before that TV spot came out so we don't make mention of it. We're not going to be recording any new episodes until after we see TLJ. We do find that saber pull very interesting, because Kylo Ren's lightsaber is so representative of him and tied to his identity. Denise has been talking about the fact that Rey is shown to have a protective stance over Kylo Ren in a lot of the marketing for TLJ, so if she pulls his saber it might mean that he is unable to wield it for some reason and she might be protecting him and herself with his saber. Either way, it's very significant. 👍 Curious to hear your thoughts on it?
You are very welcome. :) It is a pleasure and joy to sit through many of your conversations. It is nice to hear "actual" rational thought about Rey and Kylo as potential romance. I feel bad though that you've been bullied by some for your beliefs about the pairing but happy to see a good community that support you ( including myself) Just please keep being yourself because it very truly endearing. I really enjoyed that observation on the magazine with Rey is standing on her guard as Denise said protecting Kylo as he is not in any defensive position. In a passive stance and which It is very romantic in a way. To me it reflects a loving relationship or being of one where in someone that you may not always agreed with coming to ones defense in a time of need where it is a men or a women or whatever you would like to identity as. It is what we may all long for someone standing up for who we are when someone has power over you and in this case I imagine that it is Snoke for Kylo. Kylo Ren's light saber is his soul. It is is identity. This is a tool clearly is one of a kind made. ( also a bit of a show of tool with the two small streams at the bottom) haha but to have Rey take that and wield it as her own ... a lot of symbolism. I am not sure if Kylo gets hurt and she picks it up or he slides it to her. A lot of questions like where is her Saber, is this before or after the graphic torture scene. This is exciting! :) haha I am an amateur commentator at best but those are just some simple thoughts haha. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I appreciate that. I can't wait to hear your thoughts. I will have to wait because the only tickets I could get with good seating was on the 18th on a Monday in Imax. :( but :) for getting good seats. Do you do your Podcast all together or is everyone if different places?
Hey Alfred, thanks so much for your kind words. We definitely agree with your insight regarding Rey and Kylo Ren and the romantic undertones that seem obvious to us but are somehow flying over the heads of a lot of people! Feel free to email us so we can chat more. ^^ To answer your question, we are spread out all over the galaxy. Denise and Irina are in Canada, Mary is in the UK, Lee is in the U.S, and we have people in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, etc. It can be hell to coordinate a time to meet for recordings because of the time differences between us, lol. Most of us are watching TLJ on December 14th or 15th, so hopefully we can have our reaction vid out ASAP.
If Kylo and Rey kiss I am going to cry. Mostly because I will be thinking about Anakin and Padme. I want Kylo's story to end happy, not like his Grandfather.
My biggest concern is that Kathleen K said this trilogy is going to end the skywalkers...which I'm assuming means Kylo is going to die ....so while I really really want a happy romantic ending I'm too hesitant to hope for it!
@Bethany, to provide some more context, KK said that they were exploring new storylines, and she mentioned Rey, Poe, Finn. This is different from saying the Skywalkers are over. We've talked about this before, it's always best to read the direct quote rather than what people say about the quote because a lot of the time people panic and spread misinformation or they deliberately spread misinformation to troll others. KK's omission of Kylo when discussing future storylines makes perfect sense to us. No reason to confirm that he will live and be redeemed, it's best to keep the mystery and the buzz. If she mentioned him as Ben Solo people would have assumed he'll be redeemed. If she mentioned him as Kylo Ren people will assume he'll be evil. If she doesn't mention him she's not giving away anything, but that's hardly saying that the Skywalkers are going to be killed off. Hope that helps!
@Star Wars Connection I don't know these Kdramas, but the plot u described from 6 min, it's sooo similar to "Skam" - Noora and William's story, it's very good tv show, please check it, you would love it :) and there are also very interesting point of view on socially actual subjects
Hi! I just want to say thank you for your great videos. Thanks to you I became a real Raylo fan - your videos were the first ones I saw about Force Awakens before I even watched it. Until 3 months ago I have never watched Star Wars - yes, those people do exist🍎😜😝 But I saw the original trilogy on Netflix and I wanted to give it a try . Force Awakens is by far my favorite episode. I have a question - the Last Jedi comes out on 15 December , right? I live in the Netherlands and 3 days ago I bought my ticket for the premiere of this movie on 13 December - 2 days earlier as what I've heard of. Do you know why is that? Greetings from the Netherlands, Linda.
I love your videos, and I'm a Reylo forever, but I just can't help but feel scared that they're misleading is. It's unlikely, but possible.... they could end up feeling that it's too complicated, or easily misunderstood. They could take the cowards way out and turn the obvious sexual tension into Rey's moral journey, turning Kylo into the embodied temptation of the dark side and depersonalize everything :( I hope Reylo actually happens!
It's normal to have this type of anxiety. Until we're sitting at the theater watching all the reyloness unfold in front of our eyes we can't help but worry. Hang in there, we will have answers soon.
I think the Romantic drama will largely revolve around Admiral Holdo, notice that Oscar and Laura are always together for the press, and others are alone
Holdo and Poe are together for a reason. It isn't romantic. There is a leak on reddit that is a confirmed spoiler of why they spend quite some time together. Look it up, then it will all make sense.
OH MY GOD BOYS OVER FLOWERS SO GOOD !!! i remember watching it for the first time, i was laughing because it was so bad, but the best is that it's bad but actually so good !!! Gu jun pyo
Daisy was asked did you say you don't want to do more in another interview and she said I would love to it's awesome. It terms of Kylo I believe in 9 he sacrifices himself for Rey. In that sense I disagree with the majority of fellow Reylo supporters. Kylo will be the tragic hero
A friend pointed me to watch a j Drama called Beautiful Life .. at the time i was a huge fan (Still am) of Takanori Nishikawa AKA T.M.Revolution who was in the Drama.... But It's the Saddest thing i've ever watched.. This Same friend also pointed me to a Movie called Taiyô no uta/Midnight Sun (No it not Twilight)..... It's Sad aswell...
@M. Glow, my favorite Kdrama to date is "My Love From Another Star", which dethroned my previous all time favorite, "First Shop of Coffee Prince". I also have a soft spot for "Pasta" and "Faith". Kdrama is just amazing. Even bad ones are good, lol. Highly recommended but highly addictive. Proceed with caution. XD
OK, what do you think about the idea of killing off Rey's character? That made no sense as to why either Kylo or Rey have to be killed off. The only thing they said was that they will not return to the franchise after the episode 9, for now. Both have other things they want to do and I doubt there will be more episodes that would involve them for a while. Adam's career seems to be very good, great even and Daisy's is taking off as is John's so it make sense that they go out and get more exposure. I do think that in 10 years if they think about making another movie with these characters that both Daisy and Adam would consider it, but not now or in the next few years because think about how time consuming it is for all of them, having to turn down other parts because they are tied down into this one series. That has to be frustrating for an actor.
I honestly don't think there will be a kiss between Rey and Kylo in TLJ. I mean if you think about it, Kylo is still seen as such a villain to the GA, particularly after having killed Han, and idk if people would appreciate such a villain kissing their leading lady - especially parents who take their children to see the film. Disney is targeted to such a wide age range, and what message would that send to young children who idolize Rey if she kisses a man who has just killed his own father? I think there has to be a lot more time for a redemption arc for Kylo. If there is a kiss in TLJ, I honestly feel like Finn and Rose's would make a lot more sense. Yes, they don't know each other yet, but at least they are on the same side, and don't currently have negative opinions towards each other like Rey does towards Kylo for killing Han. They are likely to bond rather quickly, I think. And the kiss would probably be small and predictable. I mean tbh I HOPE I'm wrong and there IS a kiss between Rey and Kylo because that would melt my mortal soul, but I guess we'll just have to see. And we all know the Star Wars franchise can be stingy with their kiss scenes *cough*Rogue One*cough* (I'm still not over that TT -- TT). But what are your thoughts?
I don't think Disney will be afraid. First, this movie has to establish Kylo as a relatable villain, and they'll do it by clarifying WTF went on, and what caused to kill his father, for instance. If they do it well, the doors are open for other things. As to Disney and high moral standards, they are selling Reylo dolls for kids. Now let me just remind you of another beloved Disney adventure movie franchise. In the second installment, the heroine kills (freaking kills) the franchise's most beloved character. Not only that, she kind of cheats on her romantic interest, cause she wanted to kiss the guy who she kills. (Maybe killing him makes up for wanting to kiss him?) Rogue One was not part the main Saga. It was more a war movie in space than Space Opera. Different genre. The main trilogies in SW are Space Opera. In Space Opera, romance is very important. If you want an epic story, you have to go big or go home. That said, it could be that they hold the kiss for 9, but we'll see something clear in 8. I hope people don't freak out if there's no kiss. If there's no kiss, I'll be happy hoping for 2 more years of denial from certain parts of the fandom. If you're thinking about people who have attacked us, think that spending 4 years thinking they are talking about and watching one story when it turns out it's something completely different will be a good enough revenge.
Yes that makes a lot of sense! I wouldn't be too upset if they held the kiss until episode 9, as it would make for an awesome part of the finale of such an epic tale, and I think there are so many ways you can present an obvious romance in TLJ without a kiss. However, I suppose if they wanted to retain the shock value of a reylo kiss scene, it would make the most sense to put it in episode 8, and Disney, if they so desire, could probably gracefully execute it in a way that pleases the audience. Either way, I'm content so long as it comes eventually, haha.
Lee Green ohhhhh!!!! Of course...I hear you girl,he was hot in there;nowadays not so much but he was certainly the first korean crush for many many girls; personally Rian was mine but yeah, course I get it
I am a guy and I am 100% pro Reylo. I relate to both of them, especially to Kylo and I think their strange relation is an amazing theme for SW. It gives me Revan-Bastila vibes but it's even more engaging. Thank You for these vids, as always great thoughts and analysys, everytime You post I get more knowledge about Star Wars. 8 days!!!!
I can't believe that after two years of speculation and hoping, everything is getting validated, little by little! Come on Rian, don't let me down....I need some intense Reylo drama in my Star Wars! Great job on this video, guys. The Asian marketing is giving me LIFE.
Can't wait for the "communion" of these two characters.
🤗
My favorite RJ post was when someone asked him how KR could possibly be redeemed and he replied: “How indeed.” Obviously it’s going to be an epic story arc!
All I can say is I hope Lee wins her bet and we get that kiss! Great job again ladies! The Asian market is definitely not being subtle.
Remember when no one wanted acknowledge Reylo or even talk about it? Now everyone is talking about it.♥️
I remember! It feels so validating!
I'm loving all this coverage, you guys! And your kiss discourse always makes me giggle. I don't have anyone else to talk to about SW this in depth, so I truly appreciate it.
Please keep up the great work!
Lee and Denise, you guys are the best. I really enjoy your discussions and that you love Reylo as much as I do.
Honestly this is a great video, because you talk about how Star Wars is coming up in the Western parts of the globe. It's amazing how you did this and how you view things. I'm from Asia(Philippines so SW is SUPER famous) and everything you said was spot on true. Anyways I just love your channel and I hope you could continue making videos like this.♥️♥️Lots of Love from a Reylo Fan!!
Thank you!
AAAH im so excited for TLJ!!! P.S. I love Denise's accent
Literally every time I need to explain why I believe in Reylo I show my friends your vids. I have converted many 😂 beautiful video, as always!
Hamil-done__ I know right and like remember the Film Theory one? The one that said Kylo and Rey were siblings? I cried because I felt my faith in Reylo waiver, but then I binge watched these vids then I believed again!😂
I laughed so much when you talked about that kdrama show and reylo and compared them. It was so funny and I just giggled so much. Awesome video as always 💙❤️
BEST NEWS EVER to wake up to a new video from you lovely ladies :) only 8 days left!!!!! Soooooooo crazy but MY BODY IS READY.
Hey girls. Another fantastic installment. I'm starting to get spoiled with all these releases on a more routine basis now. Please keep the episodes coming lol. That said so many amazing points in this episode. The stand out for me was the Kdrama guy meets girl formula parallel with Reylo. Totally on point.

Here´s hoping and fingers crossed! Really hope you are right!
I just had a thought. What if Leia saves or protects Kylo at some point in the movie. Sort of betraying her own rebellion. That would be interesting to see.

Thanks so much!
I'm also hoping for a kiss in TLJ, but I have been doubting that it will happen lately. But I feel more reassured now that the kiss will happen because of the marketing. I am so incredibly worried and scared and excited for this movie. It almost doesn't feel like a movie to me anymore. Star Wars is my entire world and life!
I love your videos. It feels like I'm chatting with you. You girls desirves so much credit for your awesome videos. Thank you for putting so much effort into them 💙❤️
My only fear is that if a kiss happens, I might break into maniac evil laughter in the theatre.
lol! That would be so awesome.
Denise Leitão All reylo shippers just suddenly starts laughing in the theatre like Palpatine and saying "do it" in a super creepy voice
And then... Rose kissed Finn.
Man if Rey is a Skywalker i will be so mad ...
It´s so obvious she is NOT. Don´t sweat it.
Dionsama kinda cant wait for her to be just to see the devastation of every subscriber here. Lol j/k. Im a subscriber here, but man, i must say, this reminds me a lot of the 70s, before ep 5, regarding luke and Leia...and we all know how that went. :-)
That would suck if Rey was a Skywalker I mean Reylo just sounds like a better way to go.
Ahhh I’m so giddy 10 days people this is not a drill.
Kylo is actually 29 during the events of TFA. I believe this was mentioned in the visual dictionary.
Gabriel Laureles-Arias you are correct. Hes got ten years on rey.
Dang lol, feels weird thinking about it
Han also had 10 years over Leia though, so, no excuses there.
These always go by too fast!!! Thanks for the quick updates ladies! These are getting me through this last short stretch !!!♥️
If reylo does not happen my heart will be broken into 1382662 pieces
OMG I also want to see Anakin! I want to see an Anakin/Padme reunion soo much...still fanatically hoping she wasn’t dead but just trapped under a spell that awakens or something. Their love story is just too tragic and it’s sad how she never lost faith in him but still died apart from him.
I am SO hoping we will get to see Anakin in TLJ! Fingers and toes crossed!!!
Another great episode! Everytime I see an update I smile, you're the best. I hope you're right about about the kiss but even an almost kiss would satisfy me, I'm just so exited for this movie.
I love your vids
I love your videos sooooo much!! When I first watched TFA at theaters I was initially "ok Finn/rey is going to be end game I guess", but when I bought the DVD and watched it over and over again, I was shifting more towards Reylo, especially during the interrogation scene xD
I personally don't think there will be a kiss(it's too soon for me), but I won't lie and say I will freak out if it happens. But I think there will be memorable Reylo moments in TLJ. ❤❤❤❤
Y'all are the freaking best!!!!! 💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
Tbf the marketing in China is pretty tightly controlled and they cut down the number of theaters it was shown in pretty soon after it premiered. I think the one place where Star Wars is most popular in Asia is Japan, I think we share more longstanding cinematic and pop culture ties with them than we do with China or Korea (the latter is changing ofc).
Got my ticket for the 15th! Super excited. ❤️
I don't get it. Here in Italy we will see it on December *13th* ... and appearently on the 12th in Asia
In France, I'm gonna watch it on the 13th December too.
;)
No "bff" arrow between Poe and Finn on that "relationship chart"? :D
I did it interesting that the connection between Luke and Rey doesn't day father/ daughter
When you mentioned Boys over Flowers I about died!!! I'm addicted to the Japanese version Hana Yori Dango. There are so many similarities it's nuts. I love your videos and can't wait for more!!
I'm right there with you hoping for a kiss and a relationship between Kylo and Rey ^_^ I love listening to your videos!! You girls have very good points and definitely helped me see the Reylo already happening in the Force Awakens. Your videos also help me to pass the time while waiting for the Last Jedi to be released....WHICH I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
There's more than meets the eye with Poe. Remember he is one of the first people you see in TFA and he's on Jakku. He is the FIRST person shown in this poster under Luke.
Agreed.
I don't care if the odds are 3,720 to 1.. I am praying for a Reylo kiss in The Last Jedi.
At least in the worst scenario we still have episode IX to get it. But it will be another two years of wait for that. Sigh..
Another person said it means Rey dies which I thought was weird. I said what you guys did to, that Daisy's career is budding and she should be free to explore other projects instead of always being known as Rey from Star Wars. Adam, Oscar and Gwendoline have the luck of having doing other things though Gwendoline is also in another Epic series GOT that may follow her around and Daisy has not and neither has John and I would hate to see them type cast and if I were an actor i would do the same. But, I do think at some point there may be another movie about the Skywalkers or at least have them in it but maybe not totally about them. And you are right, they have lives too.
I also think we wail have a Willow type kiss. Kylo will be hit by some space fairy dust and lose his mind. One of you know what I'm talking about.
Also, good reference with The Ring of the Nibrlungs, the story of Seigfield and Bunhilde tragic romance.
OMG yassss WILLOW! Mad Martigan and Sorsha FTW 😍
We don't want any sort of involuntary kiss, though - no "dust of broken heart" please. Some of us would be OK with a battlefield kiss like in Willow. Would not mind that one bit.
😍😍😍

Also, hate is another form of love. A twisted, erratic, almost obsessive and possibly dangerous form but it is a part of it. Fear is the opposite of love, not hate. I think Kylo just going from the end of TFA is "spellbound" by Rey and he will be thinking about her always.
I have also said that from both novelizations that he has not lied to her, but they left that part out of the movie and Adam told Larry King that they left out a lot because they knew there were other things at work and would be explained further in this one. I just hope they don't cute and edit out a lot of crucial material. I believe that kylo trusts Rey more than anyone right now and the way the Jedi are, being just as bad as the Sith in deception, she will somehow lose faith in Luke too and she will come to trust Kylo.
I don't want an unwanted kiss, involuntary is a weird word and in this case as with the Willow scene I associate it more with spontaneous and unexpected, possibly a bit shocking depending on who's doing the kissing. I can see them fighting where he has disarmed her and he just stops, turns off in lightsaber and talks to her very gently and expresses his feelings towards her, bringing up a part of his past and how it got to this point and it all taking place in a minute or two at most and her softening up and then it happens because I think she will grow to feel sorry for him and may become a little angry at Han and Leia. Kylo loves his mother and is the one person besides Rey that he could never bring himself to kill outright. It will be interesting to see what happens. I got my ticket for the 14th.
Awesome as always
Lee you need to watch secret garden
@Misty, it's been recommended to me before, I think I need to start listening. Will check it out. Thanks! ^^
I don't think that anything explicitly romantic is going to happen between them in the 8, but i think that the tension is going to get stronger and stronger, they will get closer and it will allow the romance in the 9. It will make the general audience crave something to happen.
Yayy for F4! BoF was my first Kdrama, I am a huge Kdrama fan and addict so it is interesting to hear the similarities between Reylo and Jan Di + Pyo's relationship. Didn't think about that.
You girls are definitely optimists, I don't think there will be a kiss but I would put my money on obvious even passionate gazes and lost puppy eyes.
There is a new tv spot where Rey grabs Kylo Light saber. Would love your ladies take on this. Just look up Rey grabs Kylo Light saber in google. Thank you! :)
It is a TV spot, so this was shown nationally. I love your ladies channel. I 100% subscribe and told a few of my close friends about you! :) Keep up the great work.
Hey Alfred, thanks for your comment and thanks for your support of our channel! We are in the process of uploading our "TLJ predictions" podcast, which unfortunately was recorded before that TV spot came out so we don't make mention of it. We're not going to be recording any new episodes until after we see TLJ. We do find that saber pull very interesting, because Kylo Ren's lightsaber is so representative of him and tied to his identity. Denise has been talking about the fact that Rey is shown to have a protective stance over Kylo Ren in a lot of the marketing for TLJ, so if she pulls his saber it might mean that he is unable to wield it for some reason and she might be protecting him and herself with his saber. Either way, it's very significant. 👍
Curious to hear your thoughts on it?
You are very welcome. :)
It is a pleasure and joy to sit through many of your conversations. It is nice to hear "actual" rational thought about Rey and Kylo as potential romance. I feel bad though that you've been bullied by some for your beliefs about the pairing but happy to see a good community that support you ( including myself) Just please keep being yourself because it very truly endearing.
I really enjoyed that observation on the magazine with Rey is standing on her guard as Denise said protecting Kylo as he is not in any defensive position. In a passive stance and which It is very romantic in a way. To me it reflects a loving relationship or being of one where in someone that you may not always agreed with coming to ones defense in a time of need where it is a men or a women or whatever you would like to identity as. It is what we may all long for someone standing up for who we are when someone has power over you and in this case I imagine that it is Snoke for Kylo.
Kylo Ren's light saber is his soul. It is is identity. This is a tool clearly is one of a kind made. ( also a bit of a show of tool with the two small streams at the bottom) haha but to have Rey take that and wield it as her own ... a lot of symbolism. I am not sure if Kylo gets hurt and she picks it up or he slides it to her. A lot of questions like where is her Saber, is this before or after the graphic torture scene. This is exciting! :) haha I am an amateur commentator at best but those are just some simple thoughts haha.
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I appreciate that. I can't wait to hear your thoughts. I will have to wait because the only tickets I could get with good seating was on the 18th on a Monday in Imax. :( but :) for getting good seats. Do you do your Podcast all together or is everyone if different places?
Hey Alfred, thanks so much for your kind words. We definitely agree with your insight regarding Rey and Kylo Ren and the romantic undertones that seem obvious to us but are somehow flying over the heads of a lot of people! Feel free to email us so we can chat more. ^^
To answer your question, we are spread out all over the galaxy. Denise and Irina are in Canada, Mary is in the UK, Lee is in the U.S, and we have people in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, etc. It can be hell to coordinate a time to meet for recordings because of the time differences between us, lol. Most of us are watching TLJ on December 14th or 15th, so hopefully we can have our reaction vid out ASAP.
If Kylo and Rey kiss I am going to cry. Mostly because I will be thinking about Anakin and Padme. I want Kylo's story to end happy, not like his Grandfather.
I can’t believe that even they have character chart in Japan TLJ !!!
I’m trying to keep my Reylo expectations down, I don’t want to be disappointed. But great vid, as always, no disappointment there.
Where you ladies At? I'm dying to hear your take on TLJ and I know I'm not the only One!
My biggest concern is that Kathleen K said this trilogy is going to end the skywalkers...which I'm assuming means Kylo is going to die ....so while I really really want a happy romantic ending I'm too hesitant to hope for it!
That's fake news.
Thanks, I didn't know that!
@Bethany, to provide some more context, KK said that they were exploring new storylines, and she mentioned Rey, Poe, Finn. This is different from saying the Skywalkers are over. We've talked about this before, it's always best to read the direct quote rather than what people say about the quote because a lot of the time people panic and spread misinformation or they deliberately spread misinformation to troll others. KK's omission of Kylo when discussing future storylines makes perfect sense to us. No reason to confirm that he will live and be redeemed, it's best to keep the mystery and the buzz. If she mentioned him as Ben Solo people would have assumed he'll be redeemed. If she mentioned him as Kylo Ren people will assume he'll be evil. If she doesn't mention him she's not giving away anything, but that's hardly saying that the Skywalkers are going to be killed off. Hope that helps!
Star Wars Connection thanks so much!
@Star Wars Connection I don't know these Kdramas, but the plot u described from 6 min, it's sooo similar to "Skam" - Noora and William's story, it's very good tv show, please check it, you would love it :) and there are also very interesting point of view on socially actual subjects
Hi! I just want to say thank you for your great videos. Thanks to you I became a real Raylo fan - your videos were the first ones I saw about Force Awakens before I even watched it. Until 3 months ago I have never watched Star Wars - yes, those people do exist🍎😜😝 But I saw the original trilogy on Netflix and I wanted to give it a try . Force Awakens is by far my favorite episode. I have a question - the Last Jedi comes out on 15 December , right? I live in the Netherlands and 3 days ago I bought my ticket for the premiere of this movie on 13 December - 2 days earlier as what I've heard of. Do you know why is that? Greetings from the Netherlands, Linda.
I love your videos, and I'm a Reylo forever, but I just can't help but feel scared that they're misleading is. It's unlikely, but possible.... they could end up feeling that it's too complicated, or easily misunderstood. They could take the cowards way out and turn the obvious sexual tension into Rey's moral journey, turning Kylo into the embodied temptation of the dark side and depersonalize everything :( I hope Reylo actually happens!
It's normal to have this type of anxiety. Until we're sitting at the theater watching all the reyloness unfold in front of our eyes we can't help but worry. Hang in there, we will have answers soon.
If it happens I don't know what I'll be laughing for the most. Because of joy or because the haters lost
REALLY wish you had a FB account. I'm not on Twitter. :(
What about a Tumblr account? www.tumblr.com/search/STAR+WARS+CONNECTION
I honestly thinking about going on tumblr/Twitter just because of you guys
Denise has a cute accent.
I really hope Reylo does play out amazingly next year 2019 on Episode IX. Kylo Ren is amazing. I love him❤👍
I think the Romantic drama will largely revolve around Admiral Holdo, notice that Oscar and Laura are always together for the press, and others are alone
Holdo and Poe are together for a reason. It isn't romantic. There is a leak on reddit that is a confirmed spoiler of why they spend quite some time together. Look it up, then it will all make sense.
Are you going to do a podcast two days before the premiere....did you get advanced tickets or you're going to see it when it officially comes out?
Dude, no way -- we wish. XD
The earliest tickets we have are for Dec 14th. We'll do a review episode ASAP.
OH MY GOD BOYS OVER FLOWERS SO GOOD !!! i remember watching it for the first time, i was laughing because it was so bad, but the best is that it's bad but actually so good !!! Gu jun pyo
We were right from day 1 ....
YASSSSSS
Daisy was asked did you say you don't want to do more in another interview and she said I would love to it's awesome. It terms of Kylo I believe in 9 he sacrifices himself for Rey. In that sense I disagree with the majority of fellow Reylo supporters. Kylo will be the tragic hero
This is not accurate, actually. She said Star Wars is awesome. Not that she would love to do another movie after the trilogy is done.
I think there's a 10% chance of a kiss between Kylo and Rey !
Boys over Flower Anime is Better... AKA... Hana Yori Dango is a better Anime
Agreed, but Boys Over Flowers has Lee Min Ho in it. 😍
A friend pointed me to watch a j Drama called Beautiful Life .. at the time i was a huge fan (Still am) of Takanori Nishikawa AKA T.M.Revolution who was in the Drama.... But It's the Saddest thing i've ever watched..
This Same friend also pointed me to a Movie called Taiyô no uta/Midnight Sun (No it not Twilight)..... It's Sad aswell...
@M. Glow, my favorite Kdrama to date is "My Love From Another Star", which dethroned my previous all time favorite, "First Shop of Coffee Prince". I also have a soft spot for "Pasta" and "Faith". Kdrama is just amazing. Even bad ones are good, lol. Highly recommended but highly addictive. Proceed with caution. XD
OK, what do you think about the idea of killing off Rey's character? That made no sense as to why either Kylo or Rey have to be killed off. The only thing they said was that they will not return to the franchise after the episode 9, for now. Both have other things they want to do and I doubt there will be more episodes that would involve them for a while. Adam's career seems to be very good, great even and Daisy's is taking off as is John's so it make sense that they go out and get more exposure. I do think that in 10 years if they think about making another movie with these characters that both Daisy and Adam would consider it, but not now or in the next few years because think about how time consuming it is for all of them, having to turn down other parts because they are tied down into this one series. That has to be frustrating for an actor.
Imagine if they kiss then she found out she's lukes daughter
That would be so refreshingly original. --____-
I honestly don't think there will be a kiss between Rey and Kylo in TLJ. I mean if you think about it, Kylo is still seen as such a villain to the GA, particularly after having killed Han, and idk if people would appreciate such a villain kissing their leading lady - especially parents who take their children to see the film. Disney is targeted to such a wide age range, and what message would that send to young children who idolize Rey if she kisses a man who has just killed his own father? I think there has to be a lot more time for a redemption arc for Kylo. If there is a kiss in TLJ, I honestly feel like Finn and Rose's would make a lot more sense. Yes, they don't know each other yet, but at least they are on the same side, and don't currently have negative opinions towards each other like Rey does towards Kylo for killing Han. They are likely to bond rather quickly, I think. And the kiss would probably be small and predictable. I mean tbh I HOPE I'm wrong and there IS a kiss between Rey and Kylo because that would melt my mortal soul, but I guess we'll just have to see. And we all know the Star Wars franchise can be stingy with their kiss scenes *cough*Rogue One*cough* (I'm still not over that TT -- TT). But what are your thoughts?
We all agree with you, except Lee.
u_u
I don't think Disney will be afraid. First, this movie has to establish Kylo as a relatable villain, and they'll do it by clarifying WTF went on, and what caused to kill his father, for instance. If they do it well, the doors are open for other things.
As to Disney and high moral standards, they are selling Reylo dolls for kids. Now let me just remind you of another beloved Disney adventure movie franchise. In the second installment, the heroine kills (freaking kills) the franchise's most beloved character. Not only that, she kind of cheats on her romantic interest, cause she wanted to kiss the guy who she kills. (Maybe killing him makes up for wanting to kiss him?)
Rogue One was not part the main Saga. It was more a war movie in space than Space Opera. Different genre. The main trilogies in SW are Space Opera. In Space Opera, romance is very important.
If you want an epic story, you have to go big or go home. That said, it could be that they hold the kiss for 9, but we'll see something clear in 8. I hope people don't freak out if there's no kiss. If there's no kiss, I'll be happy hoping for 2 more years of denial from certain parts of the fandom. If you're thinking about people who have attacked us, think that spending 4 years thinking they are talking about and watching one story when it turns out it's something completely different will be a good enough revenge.
Yes that makes a lot of sense! I wouldn't be too upset if they held the kiss until episode 9, as it would make for an awesome part of the finale of such an epic tale, and I think there are so many ways you can present an obvious romance in TLJ without a kiss. However, I suppose if they wanted to retain the shock value of a reylo kiss scene, it would make the most sense to put it in episode 8, and Disney, if they so desire, could probably gracefully execute it in a way that pleases the audience. Either way, I'm content so long as it comes eventually, haha.
Excuse me but Boys Over Flower is a bad copy of Hana Yori Dango THE ORIGINAL STORY,is Japanese and with a way better Kylo vibe,check the original
Gomen ne, but I'm in it for Lee Min Ho. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lee Green ohhhhh!!!! Of course...I hear you girl,he was hot in there;nowadays not so much but he was certainly the first korean crush for many many girls; personally Rian was mine but yeah, course I get it
Asia hates star wars, pretty much all revenue is dependant on US, Europe so-so
Geert Matthys why do they hate it? :(
Glory Doodle I dunno, china and india are traditional cultures, maybe they miss genuine emotions and see the blandness of star wars
