Clone wars series had the benefit of having more running time unlike 2.5 hour movies. Reylo is more impressive considering the limited time they were given. They have the advantage of the superb acting, great chemistry between the actors and excellent script at least
Whoever is watching this after The Rise of Skywalker - this guy called it. You will find that the Reylo romance is just about the only thing that makes sense in Episode 9. But why oh WHY did they have to kill Ben!!!
How good it feels to be a Reylo right now. The Last Jedi gave us all more than we could have hoped for and it was utterly perfect in my opinion. I won't go into spoilers, but let's just say the "Yin and Yang" theory is off the charts in TLJ, it's very prominent, not only with Rey and Kylo but with other characters and scenes of the movie too.
I have faith that J.J. can give their story a proper conclusion since he's the one who started Reylo, and along with Rian he's probably the most avid Reylo shipper of us all.
i heard someone say that it's the other way around. Rey is Anakin (not reincarnated) but her character is the female version of him and she will fall to the dark side in Episode 9 making this the new prequels for what is to come in Episode 10,11 and 12. i wouldn't be surprised that Kathleen Kennedy would want a female version of Anakin/Darth Vader. after all this whole new trilogy is about the power of the female and everything we've seen from Rey so far mirrors Anakin but better. like you mention in the video Rey comes from nowhere and has the skills of a powerful jedi with zero guidance , Anakin came from the force and was a slave until he was discovered. Anakin went on to become one of the most powerful Jedi before turning to the darkside with a little guidance from Obi Wan, eventually surpassing him as Obi Wan states in Episode 3. both Rey and Anakin seemed to have brief moments in their second films with battling the darkside. also, as you mention Rey falling for Kylo would almost seem surprising after everything she witness and Anakin fell for Padme which he had to secretly go behind the Jedi to marry her, both love stories mirroring that forbidden love. i wouldn't be shocked if that where we end up two years from now or your way works to :-)
@TonyMichael "after all this whole new trilogy is about the power of the female" That is why the character development is so bad. Focusing on making Rey a "strong, independent woman" over a well developed character is why she is so uninteresting and not relatable.
Dude, coming from the future here having just watched TLJ I have to congratulate you for your nearly spot on analysis. Please consider revisiting this topic now that Episode 8 is out. I would love to hear what you have to say about Episode 9
At my first sit through of tfa, I was interested in why Kylo flipped out cause of 'what girl', then he bridal carried her, hmmm, and then he stared at her while she came to--- and then he took his mask off for her to reveal a lover boy face with love stricken eyes... that was how I knew Reylo was a thing- it is so evident in visual cues. Great post - thanks
Finally, someone who sees the bigger picture! While the internet is full of reviews from haters and fanatics blinded by their own desires and expectations of what TLJ should have been, here I find someone who sees beyond the surface.This is undoubtedly the most accurate depiction of what Star Wars is actually about that I have have ever seen anywhere on the internet. Congratulations, Wayward Jedi, on having created the most compelling video regarding the end game in the Star Wars saga! People have to realize and accept the idea that this is how things are going to unfold in episode 9. It will be pretty difficult for J.J.Abrams to surprise us this time, by doing something different.
As a heterosexual girl, I tell you, it's in the freakkin details that can get many of us weak. In the last jedi, when they're psychically conversing, Kylo tells Rey, "You have that look in your eyes. Like the one in the forest". That attention to detail, and ability to recall. Holy shit I seriously think he wants her. I really hope Reylo happens. I love the idea that this is an inverse of Anakin and Padme, and the similarities of how light and dark's eternal dance with each other. Can't get any more poetic than that. For everything it is, the framework of Padmekin was that is was a tragic romance, whereas Reylo can be a hopeful one, again providing another level of contrast to the 2nd trilogy, but echoing hope and redemption themes in the original.
This makes so much sense because jj abrams confirmes episode 9 will be the movie to tie up all of the movies and most importantly he said it would mostly to to the prequels era Anakin considered to be the chosen one and bring balance to the force and destroy the sith what if it was misdirect him and they said anakin is the chosen one because someone through his lineage will fulfill the prophecy aka kylo ren he betrays and kills snoke and wants to be in full control of everything and snoke intertwines their minds with the force and know more about each other
The "My boys just roasted me about a girl" face. Priceless! Your theory is very interesting and you've made a lot of valid points. Not just speaking as a Reylo fan.
Why skeptical? it's obvious...was obvious in 7 and confirmed by inside sources. Too much evidence and slips from the cast to not get they are going to be together
I really dont want Reylo to happen, but I guess if I really look at it, its inevitable because they're opposites shes light, and hes dark and they basically come together to bring balance it does make sense. But I still cant understand why Im hating the idea of romance between these two in this sequel trilogy.
Honestly I feel that our current time (what with the political landscape being so very split) could REALLY need a story about unity and love building bridges where none seemed possible.
yes we really need a love story built on a dude kidnapping a girl and using the force to infiltrate her mind when she’s unwilling. and they tried to kill each other. so ROMANTIC!!
I think Kylo will save her from Snoke's horrible torture. He might not take it anymore especially if the woman he's falling for is getting hurt. Both will learn from each other since they are the balance. I also thought they were the reverse of Padme and Anakin. Great video!
Ian Babcock me too! I was so worried and been beat down by the haters for like 2 years...with the latest TLJ trailer hints, for the first time Reylo shippers finally feel justified in their hope for the romancing redemption arc. And my favorite character for 30 years has been Luke but Kylo is my fav in the new ones, so there’s no way TLJ can entirely disappoint. And I love Rey’s character a lot. She has room to fall and grow as a character with more context behind who she really is and how her past/destiny is closely tied with Skywalkers, like a Kenobi character. I think the Reylo duality is brilliant.
Talking as someone who after watching the movie was greatly surprised about the ship not only being so popular but even existing at first place - now Im gonna be upset if it doesnt happen. This video along with the latest trailer converted the hater to believer. Exellent work.
Of all the theories I have heard on the net, THIS is the one that makes the most sense, not that Rey will join the Darkside, but rather Rey and Kylo will see a new path that they together are the only ones who can forge it. Brilliant work. :)
God, I want this to be true, because I felt that there was a connection between Rey and Kylo from the first time I saw TFA, a romantic connection, but everybody else would rather they be cousins or brother and sister. This is more intriguing to me.
finally a video about reylo where it's not just somebody saying they're cute together but actual arguments that make sense and can convince people (like me) that reylo is probably happening
I love your point here: "Go big or go home", i agree if they are going to add a love story it has to be EPIC and more memorable than anidala or hanleia.
Thank goodness. A Star Wars channel that is 1) intelligent, 2) uses its Hollywood influences & most importantly 3) isn't a pretentious, know it all fanboi. Sign me right the fuck up!
Dude we need to get you on Jedi Council. This is by far the best insight into George's story I have ever seen. Seriously, hat's off to you sir for this.
Amazing editing, you've really gotten to the core of why people believe this theory is going to happen, hopefully this will give people a better understanding of what reylo would actually be about
Not to mention the lesson of forgiveness. And learning not to be the judge, jury, executioner. So many fans want him to pay with his life. Which we've already seen! How about repentance and dedicating the rest of your life to helping to bring balance to the entire galaxy?!
This is one of the best and most beautiful SW Video Analysis I've ever seen!!! I love the fact that you don't talk about the quality of the films, just the themes. Who knew you coud make a compassionate critic about the saga? Star Wars fans should learn a thing or two about your video instead of hating Lucas or Disney for 'destroying their childhoods' (more like they never grew up, actually). I recently saw a video on how Love never works in the SW universe from Screenprism, and your theory makes a lot of sense on how this would be a perfect culmination for the entire nine episode story. Love is the answer!!! Thanxs again for the video, it opened new ways for me to understand the saga!!!! The force is strong in your channel, may it be with you always!!!
Dude, what I LOVE about this vid is that it came BEFORE TLJ release! When you see it, it further confirms this theory! Man, I cannot wait for 2019!!!! P.S. If Reylo doesn't happen at the end of the trilogy, I will be PISSED:
The similarities and comparisons to the animated Lucas film, the previous SW trilogies and the books...it all makes sense. Thank u so much for putting it all together. One of my favorite parts of Star Wars is the relationship between Han and Leia. Now I'm impatiently waiting for Kylo and Rey's story. I hope they get the happily ever after that Padma and Annakin did not get and bring balance to the force.
I don't know why some people keep calling Kylo/Rey possible relationship in the future "abusive", they're literally in a WAR on this different sides, they fight eachother. Unlike Anakin choked Padme when they're in a relationship. If the development for the Kylo/Rey connection is done well, logically and they can be in a more healthy situation later, then I see no problem with their relationship. Kylo Ren is born with the darkness in him which he couldn't choose (Leia feels it since he's still in her womb), feels adandoned by his parents, manipulated by Snoke in young age, last drop is seeing his family member wanted to kill him, if this is end up with his death, then the message is "haha you're born with some darkness so you screwed up forever"? Nope, this troligy can go with both the "there is always hope" (for Kylo Ren) and the positive future for "nobody" kids like Rey/Finn/Rose, ect... It just requests a well investment in story writting.
When I first saw Reylo theories, I was very skeptical. I wasn't really expecting any romance from the sequel trilogy. I just recently saw the Last Jedi. Crazy thing is...it's true. Reylo, the theories. All of it. It's all true.
And yet, the odd thing is this trilogy so far has %100 less kissing than either of the other trilogies - wait, I forgot Finn and Rose, so what? %99 less kissing? Personally, I don't know how I could have missed it based on that alone, but I did.
I was against the Reylo theory until I saw this video. It makes a huge amount of sense and I would be happy if the story went in the direction you discussed. Bravo!!
I always thought there was something to their relationship dynamic we've seen so far tbh. It's crazy just how amazing a relationship between these two would actually be if it's written well and performed impeccably by Daisy and Adam. Regardless, having Rey and Kylo team up, join forces, and add depth to their relationship-the extent remains to be seen-to find and establish a balance as the rest of the galaxy engages in black or white/good or bad conflict is one for the ages in terms of meaningful symbolism. You did such a great job in presenting your case! Definitely a new supporter of Reylo here.
This was great! Well done. I haven't heard anyone talk about the mirroring between Rey/Kylo and Padmé/Anakin, very interesting and convincing :) (subbed)
Amazingly done. Even as a reylo supporter the past two years there were several things I had not made the connection. All those George Lucas quotes and stories adds so much depth to this theory.
I agree with this, I wanted Reylo to happen and after seeing TLJ (I will to include spoilers but you will understand what I mean) I think this theory is very close to the film and what is to come and the connection between them
So you were right. I liked this idea too, and even though the ending was not the one everybody expected, yet it was love that redeemed Ben.and brought back the balance. In the end Anakin was the one. It just took longer.
Great video, and probably one of my favorites yet. I always enjoy hearing about literary devices used in film to explain a "fan theory." Sorry that people are trying to bust your balls about: "Reylos have been saying this for 2 years." I just stumbled upon your channel, and I honestly don't know or care how long you have been interested in this theory. I found Kylo/ Rey stories to be very compelling since I first saw The Force Awakens... but I am still happy to have new people come onboard. Honestly, I have seen a lot of Reylo theory videos that point out all the evidence that you can see on tumblr or any fan page/ social media site (which is great). However, a lot of them don't really go much deeper than that (and some do, lol). With that said, I felt like your explanation was truly your own ideas mixed with evidence we have all seen. Which is why I enjoyed this, and yes, I also really love the Star Wars Connection podcast . Thanks for taking the time to put out a video that was interesting and thought provoking. I subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos!
Great Stuff!!! But didnt 99% of women say this exiting the cinema 2 years ago? Catching the writers & JJ's implications with the Monster/Black Knight Bridal carry, heavy breathing, languorous gazes, whispers, framed close-ups. Listen to the Kylo/Rey parts w/the picture off or watch w/the sound off ... steamy ...lover-esque!!! Guess the #Reylos were right all along.
Xandra Nicholai I’m just taking a wild guess but at least in the beginning, most reylo fans were women because of several psychological reasons. Women are more easily able to relate to emotional characters and since we related to Rey and Kylo, we could see subtle hints towards a romantic storyline. The men in the Star Wars universe were likely expecting Kylo to be very stoic, similar to Vader, and were disappointed when Kylo turned out to be conflicted and emotional. Kylo doesn’t fit many of the conventional definitions of masculinity, at least not for a villain. This led many men to think of Kylo as weak and cowardly, hence the #crylo ren. Anyways, there were some men in the beginning who picked up the same stuff the large number of women did. I’m not saying my theory for the gender ratio in the reylo fandom is correct, but it makes the most sense in my opinion.
Well said Julia. Also I think Adam Drivers eyes spoke much to us ladies. Maybe the guys were too busy being mad at Kylo for killing Han to try and understand him and read what his eyes were saying to Rey during their fight.
Tamara Cartwright Yeah. It really just comes down to women being able to relate more to emotional characters than men and men being put off by Kylo’s behavior. I think most men thought Kylo would be a very strong villain like Vader who was meant to stay evil and be the “Big Bad.” When that didn’t happen, a lot of guys were confused. There’s about an equal amount of men and women who hate Kylo because he committed patricide. They are the most annoying in my opinion as they completely ignore evidence and want Kylo dead because he killed their favorite character. They don’t understand the philosophy behind Star Wars.
Pretty well done analysis on Reylo and your voice is really smooth or well nice to listen to. You make coherent, well balanced thoughts backed by an actual evidence.
I avoided watching this for a long time, even though TH-cam kept offering it, because I thought it was another one of these compilations of all the Rey-Kylo scenes, set to cheesy music. Wow, was I wrong! Love your analysis.
I actually just watched the last Jedi yesterday. Watching the movie I came to ship Rey and Kylo so hard! Thank you so much for this video. It helped quench my thirst some what for reylo.
Aaaaaand you were absoluteley right about pretty much everything in this video. I can actually see Reylo happening in Episode IX, I hope it does the way you presented it here.
Never commented on yt before but this video is top notch! I had an inkling of suspicion about these two characters (kylo & rey), but this video eloquently articulates the theory in a profoundly reflective way. One of the best starwars articles I've seen. Thanks for your work!!!
dude, did you watch the movie before hand? you predicted everything! and even though I personally didn't like the last jedi, and wasn't a fan of reylo either, I gotta admit their connection was the best part of the film and now you just made me realize why. Congratulations on your work!!
i knew there was something going on since 'the force awakens'. seeing 'the last jedi' only confirmed it for me, and now this makes me certain. thank you!
WOW! I had no idea this was dropped 2 months ago before you even watched TLJ, until about half way through the vid. You were SPOT ON. Would love to see a follow up video now having seen TLJ :)
I was directed here by a fairly new Star Wars fan like myself, and boy, did this not disappoint.Incredible attention to detail; all of your points are solid and I am so sold for Reylo now, especially after finally watching TLJ today.Loved your video, thank you! :)
I've seen a good share of Star Wars analysis videos on youtube. This one is the most researched and analytical. Also, this video has high production quality and it's well-written. I look forward to future videos!
!!! I love this. Earned my subscription. Going to binge the rest of your videos now. I respect you for having he guts to openly call the biggest SciFi franchise a fairytale. And admitting to liking Reylo... with proof! The whole balance thing and how the sequels mirror the prequels really enlightened me. Thank you so much for making this.
You nailed it, my man ... this is, by far, the best video for this theory or any theory in Star Wars for that matter. I grew up in the Prequel Era, and to me only George Lucas can tell a 'real' Star Wars story. So I've run very cold on the sequel stuff, the only saving grace being that I love the idea that Reylo is possible. You literally won me a bit more over to Disney's side with all the George connections ingrained in this potential love story I'm super invested in.
16:32 - Rey pulls the sword from the stone, signifying her worthiness to wield it, it has nothing to do with sharing Luke's x chromosome - HOLY SHIZ GOT 'EM
You were fucking right. And i am so fucking proud of watching this before the movies came out and KNOWING that reylo was basically the key to the whole series.
This is the most intelligent, insightful and yes, compassionate break down of the whole story arc, the themes that matter, the reflections upon the whole mythological stance of the creator and the most superior editing.... that I have seen to date. Many thanks Wayward Jedi! It's so inspiring to see this kind of psychological insight and the next generation needs to listen up and get with the programme. >>>Trust me kids; The Darkside hurts like you've never known hurt, >>>but The Light is so much stronger and redemption is possible for everyone.....EVERYONE.... No exceptions. THAT's the point. Love is the whole reason we are here and why we exist at all. Go figure! Superb work. Will check you out on Patreon. :-) xx
Darion Schetter I have a feeling skeptics of Reylo who have hesitation based on hatred for Kylo Ren’s crimes in TFA will see his fall and redemption in TLJ and it will be so shocking with more context behind how he got to where he is that haters will be able to forgive him. TLJ will probably also be revealing about the sins of SW idols (like my fav original, Luke) and their involvement with Kylo Ren’s fall, and that may also make it more humanizing and relatable for haters.
I was against the idea of Rey and Kylo falling in love, but after watching The Last Jedi it became increasingly apparent that the only person who can bring Kylo back from the dark side is Rey. Whether there will be a romantic involvement or not I am still unsure of. But it is evident that they are very drawn to each other And Rey has shown compassion towards Kylo and doesn't want to believe that he is a lost cause.
This video is wonderful. There are so many Reylo theory videos out there and I haven't come across anyone that brings up those comments by George Lucas, which makes Reylo even more convincing. Thank you for this great video ❤️💙

Hey man love your videos, great job, just want to know what's the name of that song at 16:14. If you ever get chance. Thank you
The "Reylo" turned out to be truly the backbone of this trilogy, simply incredible.
Great job. I really like the idea of Reylo as the reverse Anakin/Padme.
Right? Such an excellent commentary.
Completely agree with you on the Clone Wars Series.
Clone wars series had the benefit of having more running time unlike 2.5 hour movies. Reylo is more impressive considering the limited time they were given. They have the advantage of the superb acting, great chemistry between the actors and excellent script at least
😭💞
Just watched TLJ today and this theory is getting REAAAL
right!! god im so happy
guy called it rey and ben relationship is fo real in ep9
I cant belive he even predicted the praetorian guards scene. "One of the most iconic action scenes in the saga"
Me, watching this after the rise of Skywalker: He knew it. He knew it ALL ALONG.
I am just as shocked as you
Whoever is watching this after The Rise of Skywalker - this guy called it. You will find that the Reylo romance is just about the only thing that makes sense in Episode 9. But why oh WHY did they have to kill Ben!!!

Reylo is endgame I can’t wait to see how they handle the pairing in IX :)
@TonyMichael "after all this whole new trilogy is about the power of the female"
That is why the character development is so bad. Focusing on making Rey a "strong, independent woman" over a well developed character is why she is so uninteresting and not relatable.
@@DragonRebelRose but he did what he did in episode 9 :/
Dude, coming from the future here having just watched TLJ I have to congratulate you for your nearly spot on analysis. Please consider revisiting this topic now that Episode 8 is out. I would love to hear what you have to say about Episode 9
No revision is actually needed. Since he got right what would be Episode VIII, the logical structure leading to Episode IX remains the same.

I ship them so hard it hurts
Blossoming Lights omg same 😂
Blossoming Lights, same broo
Dude SAAAAAAMMMMEEEEE
Same !
It really REALLY hurts.
YUP YUP YUP ALL OF THIS. ALL. OF. THIS.
Tessa Netting I SEE YOU. I HEAR YOU LOUND SAND CLEAR. THIS WAS THE WHOLE BACKROUND BASIS FOR THE LAST JEDI
This makes so much sense because jj abrams confirmes episode 9 will be the movie to tie up all of the movies and most importantly he said it would mostly to to the prequels era Anakin considered to be the chosen one and bring balance to the force and destroy the sith what if it was misdirect him and they said anakin is the chosen one because someone through his lineage will fulfill the prophecy aka kylo ren he betrays and kills snoke and wants to be in full control of everything and snoke intertwines their minds with the force and know more about each other
Tessa Netting Hello there!
I can't believe that he mad ethis 2 months before TLJ
Tessa Netting I feel better about liking reylo knowing you also support it!! X
The "My boys just roasted me about a girl" face. Priceless! Your theory is very interesting and you've made a lot of valid points. Not just speaking as a Reylo fan.
this makes so much sense and to think this was released 2 months before TLJ? im shook
Wonderful video! I've been skeptical of Reylo, but you're making a LOT of sense here.
Why skeptical? it's obvious...was obvious in 7 and confirmed by inside sources. Too much evidence and slips from the cast to not get they are going to be together
Star Wars Explained what if Obi Wan didn’t say hello there
Star Wars Explained oh hey, you’re here! Also... same.
You got a subscriber!
I really dont want Reylo to happen, but I guess if I really look at it, its inevitable because they're opposites shes light, and hes dark and they basically come together to bring balance it does make sense. But I still cant understand why Im hating the idea of romance between these two in this sequel trilogy.
Honestly I feel that our current time (what with the political landscape being so very split) could REALLY need a story about unity and love building bridges where none seemed possible.
Definitely! Fingers crossed it all turns out like this.Dark & Light finding balance and eventually love...
Love is a useless emotion.
I thought it was a sci-fi fantasy series
yes we really need a love story built on a dude kidnapping a girl and using the force to infiltrate her mind when she’s unwilling. and they tried to kill each other. so ROMANTIC!!
palestblue agreed love is a beautiful story
This video is still soothing and wonderful even after TROS and
Now I want a new analysis, with TLJ in it 😍 pretty please
Yes please
No one here after TROS release? You goddamn nailed it!
I think Kylo will save her from Snoke's horrible torture. He might not take it anymore especially if the woman he's falling for is getting hurt. Both will learn from each other since they are the balance. I also thought they were the reverse of Padme and Anakin. Great video!
Celest15 yes he did, but she did not join him in tlj
Dude. Almost everything you said came true in The Last Jedi
I was skeptical of any particular ships, but after seeing the new trailer and this I'm now a supporter of Reylo.
Ian Babcock me too! I was so worried and been beat down by the haters for like 2 years...with the latest TLJ trailer hints, for the first time Reylo shippers finally feel justified in their hope for the romancing redemption arc.
And my favorite character for 30 years has been Luke but Kylo is my fav in the new ones, so there’s no way TLJ can entirely disappoint.
And I love Rey’s character a lot. She has room to fall and grow as a character with more context behind who she really is and how her past/destiny is closely tied with Skywalkers, like a Kenobi character. I think the Reylo duality is brilliant.
Boy. You are a prophet.
Talking as someone who after watching the movie was greatly surprised about the ship not only being so popular but even existing at first place - now Im gonna be upset if it doesnt happen. This video along with the latest trailer converted the hater to believer. Exellent work.
The central message of the main Star Wars movies is that unconditional love conquers all.
Of all the theories I have heard on the net, THIS is the one that makes the most sense, not that Rey will join the Darkside, but rather Rey and Kylo will see a new path that they together are the only ones who can forge it.
Brilliant work. :)
God, I want this to be true, because I felt that there was a connection between Rey and Kylo from the first time I saw TFA, a romantic connection, but everybody else would rather they be cousins or brother and sister. This is more intriguing to me.
It's going suck if related. For me it will be a same shit different movie thing.
Dude you called it & it’s happening. I’m SHOOKED. All in for Reylo
as an OG reylo for nearly two years, I feel proud of these videos that keep popping up.
Sophia Perez same! Finally people aren't mocking us!😁
finally a video about reylo where it's not just somebody saying they're cute together but actual arguments that make sense and can convince people (like me) that reylo is probably happening
I love your point here: "Go big or go home", i agree if they are going to add a love story it has to be EPIC and more memorable than anidala or hanleia.

Wow, this is scary... how freaking accurate this video has turned out to be!!! 😱
ikr!
suerafuls, IKR
Dude just watched TLJ this is so on point better than film theorys predictions lol
I know! It was almost as if he had already seen the movie
Wow... this is the most beautiful video I've seen supporting Reylo, and I've seen a lot. It is so elegant... so fluent in its explanation. Good job!
You can truly feel the passion between Kylo and Rey in the last jedi. It's amazing.
Yes !
Dude we need to get you on Jedi Council. This is by far the best insight into George's story I have ever seen. Seriously, hat's off to you sir for this.
Now that TLJ is out, this video carries more weight than ever. Will you be doing a follow up video anytime soon? Great discussions!
I’m back. This theory is CANON. REYOO IS REAL.
who ever is watching this after the last jedi he freaking called it about them coming together to fight snokes gaurds
righttt?? idek how, he foresaw the future
fig newton, yus
after The Last Jedi it’s clear they will end up together ❤️ and I ship it
Yeah Reylo isn't such a joke to me after watching this.
Can't believe I actually wouldn't mind it happening
Juan Jaramillo Just give this vid to anyone who is against Reylo. Let's see what they will say now because BRUH this shit is convincing.
Amazing editing, you've really gotten to the core of why people believe this theory is going to happen, hopefully this will give people a better understanding of what reylo would actually be about
Not to mention the lesson of forgiveness. And learning not to be the judge, jury, executioner. So many fans want him to pay with his life. Which we've already seen! How about repentance and dedicating the rest of your life to helping to bring balance to the entire galaxy?!
This is one of the best and most beautiful SW Video Analysis I've ever seen!!! I love the fact that you don't talk about the quality of the films, just the themes. Who knew you coud make a compassionate critic about the saga? Star Wars fans should learn a thing or two about your video instead of hating Lucas or Disney for 'destroying their childhoods' (more like they never grew up, actually). I recently saw a video on how Love never works in the SW universe from Screenprism, and your theory makes a lot of sense on how this would be a perfect culmination for the entire nine episode story. Love is the answer!!! Thanxs again for the video, it opened new ways for me to understand the saga!!!! The force is strong in your channel, may it be with you always!!!
Just saw the last Jedi. I can't believe how spot on you were about some of this! Nice job 👌
Dude, what I LOVE about this vid is that it came BEFORE TLJ release! When you see it, it further confirms this theory! Man, I cannot wait for 2019!!!!
P.S. If Reylo doesn't happen at the end of the trilogy, I will be PISSED:
Rewatcing these 2 years on is amazing.
The similarities and comparisons to the animated Lucas film, the previous SW trilogies and the books...it all makes sense. Thank u so much for putting it all together. One of my favorite parts of Star Wars is the relationship between Han and Leia. Now I'm impatiently waiting for Kylo and Rey's story. I hope they get the happily ever after that Padma and Annakin did not get and bring balance to the force.
I don't know why some people keep calling Kylo/Rey possible relationship in the future "abusive", they're literally in a WAR on this different sides, they fight eachother. Unlike Anakin choked Padme when they're in a relationship. If the development for the Kylo/Rey connection is done well, logically and they can be in a more healthy situation later, then I see no problem with their relationship. Kylo Ren is born with the darkness in him which he couldn't choose (Leia feels it since he's still in her womb), feels adandoned by his parents, manipulated by Snoke in young age, last drop is seeing his family member wanted to kill him, if this is end up with his death, then the message is "haha you're born with some darkness so you screwed up forever"? Nope, this troligy can go with both the "there is always hope" (for Kylo Ren) and the positive future for "nobody" kids like Rey/Finn/Rose, ect... It just requests a well investment in story writting.
When I first saw Reylo theories, I was very skeptical. I wasn't really expecting any romance from the sequel trilogy.
I just recently saw the Last Jedi. Crazy thing is...it's true. Reylo, the theories. All of it. It's all true.
And yet, the odd thing is this trilogy so far has %100 less kissing than either of the other trilogies - wait, I forgot Finn and Rose, so what? %99 less kissing? Personally, I don't know how I could have missed it based on that alone, but I did.
I was against the Reylo theory until I saw this video. It makes a huge amount of sense and I would be happy if the story went in the direction you discussed. Bravo!!
Jesus Christ. You literally predicted The Last Jedi, and I’m sure that you just predicted the last movie too.
reylodramione yep he did because Reylo kissed at the end of the movie in Episode IX.
He did!!
I always thought there was something to their relationship dynamic we've seen so far tbh. It's crazy just how amazing a relationship between these two would actually be if it's written well and performed impeccably by Daisy and Adam. Regardless, having Rey and Kylo team up, join forces, and add depth to their relationship-the extent remains to be seen-to find and establish a balance as the rest of the galaxy engages in black or white/good or bad conflict is one for the ages in terms of meaningful symbolism. You did such a great job in presenting your case! Definitely a new supporter of Reylo here.
It doesn't even have to be romantic at all to still work
I’m siding with Juan here
It’s uncanny how much you got right about the last jedi
This was great! Well done. I haven't heard anyone talk about the mirroring between Rey/Kylo and Padmé/Anakin, very interesting and convincing :)
(subbed)
I watch this video after I saw the last jedi. Dude, i think you're a jedi. Spot on.
Amazingly done. Even as a reylo supporter the past two years there were several things I had not made the connection. All those George Lucas quotes and stories adds so much depth to this theory.
I agree with this, I wanted Reylo to happen and after seeing TLJ (I will to include spoilers but you will understand what I mean) I think this theory is very close to the film and what is to come and the connection between them
So you were right. I liked this idea too, and even though the ending was not the one everybody expected, yet it was love that redeemed Ben.and brought back the balance. In the end Anakin was the one. It just took longer.
Great video, and probably one of my favorites yet. I always enjoy hearing about literary devices used in film to explain a "fan theory."
Sorry that people are trying to bust your balls about: "Reylos have been saying this for 2 years." I just stumbled upon your channel, and I honestly don't know or care how long you have been interested in this theory. I found Kylo/ Rey stories to be very compelling since I first saw The Force Awakens... but I am still happy to have new people come onboard.
Honestly, I have seen a lot of Reylo theory videos that point out all the evidence that you can see on tumblr or any fan page/ social media site (which is great). However, a lot of them don't really go much deeper than that (and some do, lol). With that said, I felt like your explanation was truly your own ideas mixed with evidence we have all seen. Which is why I enjoyed this, and yes, I also really love the Star Wars Connection podcast .
Thanks for taking the time to put out a video that was interesting and thought provoking. I subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos!
Great Stuff!!! But didnt 99% of women say this exiting the cinema 2 years ago?
Catching the writers & JJ's implications with the Monster/Black Knight Bridal carry, heavy breathing, languorous gazes, whispers, framed close-ups. Listen to the Kylo/Rey parts w/the picture off or watch w/the sound off ... steamy ...lover-esque!!! Guess the #Reylos were right all along.
Why just women?
Xandra Nicholai I’m just taking a wild guess but at least in the beginning, most reylo fans were women because of several psychological reasons. Women are more easily able to relate to emotional characters and since we related to Rey and Kylo, we could see subtle hints towards a romantic storyline. The men in the Star Wars universe were likely expecting Kylo to be very stoic, similar to Vader, and were disappointed when Kylo turned out to be conflicted and emotional. Kylo doesn’t fit many of the conventional definitions of masculinity, at least not for a villain. This led many men to think of Kylo as weak and cowardly, hence the #crylo ren.
Anyways, there were some men in the beginning who picked up the same stuff the large number of women did. I’m not saying my theory for the gender ratio in the reylo fandom is correct, but it makes the most sense in my opinion.
Well said Julia. Also I think Adam Drivers eyes spoke much to us ladies. Maybe the guys were too busy being mad at Kylo for killing Han to try and understand him and read what his eyes were saying to Rey during their fight.
Tamara Cartwright Yeah. It really just comes down to women being able to relate more to emotional characters than men and men being put off by Kylo’s behavior. I think most men thought Kylo would be a very strong villain like Vader who was meant to stay evil and be the “Big Bad.” When that didn’t happen, a lot of guys were confused. There’s about an equal amount of men and women who hate Kylo because he committed patricide. They are the most annoying in my opinion as they completely ignore evidence and want Kylo dead because he killed their favorite character. They don’t understand the philosophy behind Star Wars.
Pretty well done analysis on Reylo and your voice is really smooth or well nice to listen to. You make coherent, well balanced thoughts backed by an actual evidence.
Would love to see them together. They have such chemistry.
And to think this was created before The Last Jedi came out in theaters. I’m still not over this
The evidence is impossible to dismiss. I'm very impressed. Great work! I shared this with friends.
I avoided watching this for a long time, even though TH-cam kept offering it, because I thought it was another one of these compilations of all the Rey-Kylo scenes, set to cheesy music. Wow, was I wrong! Love your analysis.
This is great. I think Rey will shift toward the darkness and Kylo will keep her in check, so she doesn't make the same mistakes he did.
Okay, i was not buying this whole Reylo thing but you fully converted me, especially after TLJ haha
I actually just watched the last Jedi yesterday. Watching the movie I came to ship Rey and Kylo so hard! Thank you so much for this video. It helped quench my thirst some what for reylo.
God! I can't believe you predicted all of this before The Last Jedi was out! Nailed it!
EVERYTHING IN THIS IS SO ON POINT.
Dang dude, you nailed the the Reylo theory! I hope it comes to fruition completely in episode 9 the way you predicted!
I watched the Last Jedi 2 days ago and I just kept nodding throughout your whole video! this awesome and so on point
Are you trying to make me ship them cause I think it's working.
Abby J-Vskye same feels💖
Abby J-Vskye, lol
Aaaaaand you were absoluteley right about pretty much everything in this video. I can actually see Reylo happening in Episode IX, I hope it does the way you presented it here.
Never commented on yt before but this video is top notch! I had an inkling of suspicion about these two characters (kylo & rey), but this video eloquently articulates the theory in a profoundly reflective way. One of the best starwars articles I've seen. Thanks for your work!!!
Well done mate you were on the right track here. Would be very interested in a follow up video now that The Last Jedi is out.
holy shit I've been shipping them for such a long time now, so glad that more people are ready to sail the ship with us
tacokotaco I'm a new member..lol.. I'm one of the haters after TFA(because he's evil and killed Han Solo..now I want to join after TLJ..XD!
dude, did you watch the movie before hand? you predicted everything! and even though I personally didn't like the last jedi, and wasn't a fan of reylo either, I gotta admit their connection was the best part of the film and now you just made me realize why. Congratulations on your work!!
i knew there was something going on since 'the force awakens'. seeing 'the last jedi' only confirmed it for me, and now this makes me certain. thank you!
WOW! I had no idea this was dropped 2 months ago before you even watched TLJ, until about half way through the vid. You were SPOT ON. Would love to see a follow up video now having seen TLJ :)
How did you know that Kylo and Rey would team up against Snoke's praetorian guards way back in October? It caught me totally by surprise.
I was directed here by a fairly new Star Wars fan like myself, and boy, did this not disappoint.Incredible attention to detail; all of your points are solid and I am so sold for Reylo now, especially after finally watching TLJ today.Loved your video, thank you! :)
I've seen a good share of Star Wars analysis videos on youtube. This one is the most researched and analytical. Also, this video has high production quality and it's well-written. I look forward to future videos!
that bit about the guards.... you nailed it.
!!! I love this.
Earned my subscription. Going to binge the rest of your videos now.
I respect you for having he guts to openly call the biggest SciFi franchise a fairytale. And admitting to liking Reylo... with proof! The whole balance thing and how the sequels mirror the prequels really enlightened me.
Thank you so much for making this.
You nailed it, my man ...
this is, by far, the best video for this theory or any theory in Star Wars for that matter. I grew up in the Prequel Era, and to me only George Lucas can tell a 'real' Star Wars story. So I've run very cold on the sequel stuff, the only saving grace being that I love the idea that Reylo is possible. You literally won me a bit more over to Disney's side with all the George connections ingrained in this potential love story I'm super invested in.
I am LIVING for this idea and now I can’t see anything else
Especially since I just saw the last jedi
@ 16:50, men, you got it on point.
16:32 - Rey pulls the sword from the stone, signifying her worthiness to wield it, it has nothing to do with sharing Luke's x chromosome - HOLY SHIZ GOT 'EM
You were fucking right. And i am so fucking proud of watching this before the movies came out and KNOWING that reylo was basically the key to the whole series.
This is the most intelligent, insightful and yes, compassionate break down of the whole story arc, the themes that matter, the reflections upon the whole mythological stance of the creator and the most superior editing.... that I have seen to date.
Many thanks Wayward Jedi!
It's so inspiring to see this kind of psychological insight and the next generation needs to listen up and get with the programme.
>>>Trust me kids; The Darkside hurts like you've never known hurt,
>>>but The Light is so much stronger and redemption is possible for everyone.....EVERYONE....
No exceptions.
THAT's the point.
Love is the whole reason we are here and why we exist at all.
Go figure!
Superb work. Will check you out on Patreon.
:-) xx
Sorry to be a dunce but what do PT, OT and ST stand for?
Prequel Trilogy, Original Trilogy, Sequel Trilogy :P
aha! that's an easier way to explain the mess! ha ha
I was here BEFORE the LAST JEDI, I was here after it. And now I’m here after TROS. Amazing analysis which I like to revisit from time to time
I was 100% against this idea, until this video. Now i'm 50 50. Good argument.
Darion Schetter I have a feeling skeptics of Reylo who have hesitation based on hatred for Kylo Ren’s crimes in TFA will see his fall and redemption in TLJ and it will be so shocking with more context behind how he got to where he is that haters will be able to forgive him. TLJ will probably also be revealing about the sins of SW idols (like my fav original, Luke) and their involvement with Kylo Ren’s fall, and that may also make it more humanizing and relatable for haters.
I was against the idea of Rey and Kylo falling in love, but after watching The Last Jedi it became increasingly apparent that the only person who can bring Kylo back from the dark side is Rey. Whether there will be a romantic involvement or not I am still unsure of. But it is evident that they are very drawn to each other
And Rey has shown compassion towards Kylo and doesn't want to believe that he is a lost cause.
Gosh!! Having watched TROS, this is like a prophecy!!
You got that mutual coming together right for Last Jedi. Hot dang, I need to see this movie again
This video is wonderful. There are so many Reylo theory videos out there and I haven't come across anyone that brings up those comments by George Lucas, which makes Reylo even more convincing. Thank you for this great video ❤️💙
