“Do you have something, a cowl, or something you can put on?”

(Rey to Kylo Ren, “Star Wars. Episode VIII. The Last Jedi”)

Disney will never let Rey fall in love with Kylo Ren, ‘cause she’s good heroine, while he’s villain and heroine can’t be with villain. This is one topics most used by fans who hate romantic couple formed by Rey and Kylo Ren, called Reylo. To drop this argument, just remember one of Disney's most successful animated movie is "Beauty and the Beast", in which sweet, beautiful and good Belle BEFORE falls in love with furious, wounded, evil BEAST, then with Prince hidden inside Beast. This is proved by scene, in which immediately after Beast transformation in Prince, Belle looks at young man perplexed and only when she recognizes in him Beast same eyes, she throws herself into his arms:

In this post I would like to talk, however, of another heroine ICON of Disney, sweet, naive, good and sugary SNOW WHITE, in recent times, has undergone a major transformation ... from beautiful and satisfied housewife to warrior and outlaw, armed of bow and arrows in "Once Upon A Time" TV show or new Joan of Arc in "Snow White and the Huntsman" and swordsgirl in 2012 “Mirror, Mirror”. My favorite is, however, gothic version proposed in "Snow White: A Tale of Terror", 1997 movie, starring Monica Keena, Sigourney Weaver, Sam Neill and Gil Bellows. The plot is: mother orphan, little Lilliana Hoffman, called Lilli, lives in a golden and protected world, in which one day, comes Lady Claudia, second wife of Lord Friedrich Hoffman, Lilli’s father. At first, woman seems kind to Lilli who, despite this, can’t trust her. Years after, Lilli has become a beautiful girl, engaged to rich Dr. Peter Gutenberg. Unfortunately, her relationship with Lady Claudia hasn’t improved, but is always turbulent. One evening, Lilli disobeys woman and goes to a party wearing her late mother’s dress. Anger and jealousy induce Lady Claudia, pregnant, at a premature birth, after which her son is born dead. Woman accuses Lilli of this and orders her most faithful servant to kill her. Lilli manages to escape deep in black forest, where he will meet a group of battered, savage and hostile miners, in search of the vein of gold, including shady and grim Will. "Snow White: A Tale of Terror":

The night after escape, Lilli takes refuge in a ruined manor, full of rats, where she falls asleep. The young woman is suddenly woken up by Will, who blocks her and closes her mouth with one hand, while other miners question her to find out who she’s. Scared and crying, Lilli tries to get out of situation:

"Star Wars. Episode VII. The Force Awakens": Kylo Ren chases Rey into forest, where he blocks and captures her. Kylo brings Rey in Star Killer Base, where he tieds her in detention cell and he interrogates her. For effort to resist the boy, Rey cries:

"Snow White: A Tale of Terror":

One evening, wrapped in a blanket, looking out old fortress window, Lilli notices a raven, perched on a branch, watching her. Will approaches her and advises her doesn’t to stare animal, then he starts to fix her :

“Why are you staring at me?”

 “It hadn't occurred to me to look anywhere else”

“It's very rude”

 “It's one of my better habits”

“I take it you have no manners, then”

“No manners then... and no manners now”

(Lilli and Will, from "Snow White: A Tale of Terror" movie)

Following, Will extends a hand to caress Lilly's cheek, embarrassed, she deviates...

“Star Wars. Episode VIII. The Last Jedi” :

“Do you have something, a cowl, or something you can put on?”

(Rey to Kylo Ren, “Star Wars. Episode VIII. The Last Jedi”)

In hut’s scene, Rey is wrapped in a blanket:

"Snow White: A Tale of Terror": 

In same scene where Lilli is wrapped in a blanket, dialogue between her and Will continues:

“I'm not a princess”

 “What are you then?”

 “I'm the daughter of Friedrich Hoffman”

 “Ah, so you're nothing more than a name”

“What right do you have to say that? You know nothing about me”

“I know enough of your kind”

“How could you know anything about anyone, you live like an animal; you hide out like a criminal”

“And what are you doing princess, is this some holiday you're taking?”

(Lilli and Will, from "Snow White: A Tale of Terror" movie)

“Star Wars. Episode VIII. The Last Jedi” :

“Murderous snake! You're too late! You've lost! I've found Skywalker!”

“Did he tell you what happened? The night I destroyed his temple, did he tell you why?”

“I know everything I need to know about you”

“You do? Oh, you do [...]”

(Rey to Kylo Ren, “Star Wars. Episode VIII. The Last Jedi”)

“ [...] Do you want to know the truth about your parents, or have you always known? You've just hidden it away. You know the truth. Say it. Say it”

“They were nobody”

“They were filthy junk traders, who sold you off for drinking money. They're dead in a pauper's grave in the Jakku desert. You have no place in this story; You come from nothing. You're nothing...but not to me. Join me. Please”

(Rey to Kylo Ren, “Star Wars. Episode VIII. The Last Jedi”)

"Snow White: A Tale of Terror":

When Lilli calls him BEAST, Will is furious, he takes her by throat and slams her against wall, warning her don’t use that word anymore, ‘cause it’s linked to a violent and painful memory:

“Let go of me!”

“Why? “

“Because you frighten me”

(Lilli and Will, from "Snow White: A Tale of Terror" movie)

“Star Wars. Episode VII. The Force Awakens” :

“Get out of my head!”

[...]

“Don’t be afraid. I feel it too”

(Rey and Kylo Ren, from "Star Wars. Episode VII. The Force Awakens" movie)

“Star Wars. Episode VIII. The Last Jedi” :

“[...] You have that look in your eyes, from the forest. When you called me a monster”

“You are a monster” “... Yes, I am”

(Rey to Kylo Ren, “Star Wars. Episode VIII. The Last Jedi”)
