  • Kylo and Rey's romantic relationship COULD have saved the sequel trilogy if they wrote it out better. In this video I explain how they should have written the story and how it could have made the Sequels actually good.

    I definitely believe if the focus of the sequel trilogy would have been on Ben and Rey the films would have been better. The chemistry between the actors were incredible, the characters should have been both the lead. I also agree that if Kylo would not have been able to kill Han and other lives, it would have prepared the next two films for a much better plot.

  • @BeWithTamia
    @BeWithTamia ปีที่แล้ว +39

    Wonderful video. I recently watched the sequel trilogy and felt that the reylo relationship should of been the focus especially with how much visual context was using light vs dark. I enjoyed how you mentioned that Rey’s light was pulling Ben and ben’s dark was pulling Rey creating a neutral shade (grey) which makes sense as the world is not light or dark, black or white. It is a multitude of shades. I think the writers had the blueprint for this to come to light but didn’t want to take the risk. Then again, it gives fans the option to diverge and create new theories and ideas that may have been on the writers table but never made it to screen. Wonderful video!

    Just finished watching the sequel trilogy and I hate that Ben dies in the end! Would have been so awesome to have a Skywalker Palpatine baby continue the story!! Why do they always have to kill off one of the main characters of the romance? Their light vs dark was the only interesting thing of the movies and they killed it - literally. There’s no Rey without Ben. I like your version better.

    • @officermurdoch4120

    Good, but one change: don’t physically bring back Palpatine. Instead, let him be a voice in her ear that she trusts because it preaches light and wisdom at first; let any physical presence be imagined, so that we all know who he is but she has no idea and is willing to listen because his advice is bringing her a place and relationships.

    Wow. I've seen tons and tons of rewrite theories (not to mention endless alternate ending fanfictions) and though many of them are good, this one is my favorite -- especially bc you manage to fix the story while still including Rey Palpatine (which I saw as a pure mistake, I always thought Rey Nobody was a better message) AND while ending with the classic "boring" message that the light side is superior? That last one really gets me bc I figured any good version of the story would thematically default to "balance" being the best option, as that was a great strength of TLJ in my opinion. But actually going down the grey path to showcase Ben's flawed thinking, how he and Rey being neutral together would just be allowing evil to grow, and ANAKIN of all people telling him this?? 👏👏 👏 Plus Rey going dark for the same reasons Anakin did and all the skywalkers going to save her and an actual happy reylo ending...yeah there's too many good things to say about this. Awesome job

  • @cindyking5035
    @cindyking5035 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This was much better than what we were given. I always liked the idea of the son of the light going dark, redeemed by the daughter of the dark who chose the light. Balance. That's what was prophesied about Anikin but never brought to fruition. It would've been cool to have seen that balance through the joining of Rey and Ben. Also, I think the Dyad was a fascinating concept but was poorly executed. They were supposed to have the power of life itself yet were so easily beaten by a dilapidated Palpatine. The theme throughout the series has been the search for balance, the importance of family and how love is truly the most powerful force. ALL of those themes could've been accentuated through the merging of Rey and Ben. The final defeat of Palpatine not through a battle of light sabers and lightening - but the Dyad truly showing their power and defeating Palpatine with their love and the balance they brought to the Force.

    Palpatine should never return at all and have Snoak be the big bad of the sequel trilogy but Snoak contrasts Palpatine in many ways just like how Kylo contrasts Vader. Snoak doesn't care to try and rule the galaxy and the force itself with an iron fist like Palpatine. Snoak plans to throw the galaxy and the force into chaos and kill those who try to impose order for he believes that's the true way of the Sith.

    The only way to save the sequel trilogy is to go back in time and have it be about Luke, Leia, and Han. Introducing a set of new characters in movies 78 and nine was the most ridiculous decision they made. They should have met Ray halfway through nine and continue the story like that.
    Saying that a better romance between two characters that shouldn’t exist or be a part of the movie would have saved It is a very bad take.

    And how was Luke "influencing" events? Long-distance mind-control? That sounds pretty dark side, plus why the hell didn't he bother influencing events to save Han then?
    You have some interesting ideas, but your treatment of Han is an even lower blow than Rey and Ben kissing and then Ben dropping over dead.

    The way I would have written it would have been Snoke killing Ray at the end of chapter 8 right as she is converting Ren back to the light side. He then goes Sith bonkers and tries to kill Snoke and Snoke beats him and wipes his mind with the force he then at the very end of the film fights and kills Luke. I’m chapter 9 Ren is plagued by ghost memories and Ray and Luke’s force ghosts show him who he is and he converts to the light about 1/2 way through the film after doing some killing and conquering. The the last part is finding the resistance and getting them to help him destroy Snoke. Oh and Fin is a dam Jedi and the Princess was training him during the start of the 9th film and Ren and Fin kill Snoke for her. And Ren Skywalker leads the new Jedi order they way his master Luke would have wanted.
