Disney have got themselves covered as far as the controversial aspect of Reylo goes. It was a VERY smart idea to explicitly show Rey empathizing with Ben but rejecting Kylo. If she gets together with a redeemed Ben, it will not be controversial because the creators have already established that their heroine isn't someone who would throw away her integrity, agency, and morals for an attractive bad boy. If she accepts him AFTER he changes himself for the right reasons, it won't be controversial.
Bless this ask.
Perfection. I completely agree. And, for all its faults, the TLJ junior novelization did include a few gems. Like this:
“And if she wanted to save Ben, she would have to stop Kylo Ren”.
Meaning that if she is determined to defeat Kylo Ren in IX, it’s because she wants to save Ben.
How much clearer can they get?
Bringing this back ♥️
