Jungkook: i used to be really jealous whats mine is mine but i'm not like that anymore ^^

Taehyung: Bogum-

So I am rewatching Empire Strikes back with my SO and Han and Leia are arguing, as usual. We've just recently seen TLJ so it's still pretty fresh in my mind. And all I can see is the similarities of Han and Kylo when they interact with the female leads (who are just perpetually angry, snarky and sassy towards them).

Even certain dialogue can be compared to the flirt scenes.

Leia: You're a scoundrel!

Han: Scoundrel? Scoundrel! Who you calling a scoundrel!

Rey: You're a monster.

Kylo: Yes I am.

I know the emotions were different but the context is there. Hab doesn't take offense he's called a scoundrel, he is one. And Kylo is more than aware of his actions and being seen as a monster. He doesn't know how to be anything else. Leia and Rey are both fighting this primal attraction to these men who are viewed by society as unacceptable, too coarse and all around just not good enough. Kylo with his FO and Han as a Smuggler/pirate/scoundrel.

But if you notice how both Leia and Rey react to flirts (in Kylo's case, just pure virgin awkwardness)

They are so quick to get angry.

I've told my SO that Han's flirting with Leia and Kylo's ForceSkypes with Rey are essentially the same. Of course he disagrees. He believes Kylo and Rey will kill each other in the coming episode (although I'm sure he only says so to spite me and my Reylo rants). He doesn't believe Reylo is a possibility, because when Empire Strikes Back came out, people were most likely shipping Luke and Leia together until it was revealed they were siblings.

HOWEVER, my biggest counter to this is that them both killing each other is too easy and simple. There's no fun in it.

"Think about it." I told him. "This is NEW Star Wars. Han is dead. Leia is dead (RIP Carrie). Star Wars has to have something a little more relatable to the fans, old and new, watching."

Kylo and Rey are this generation's Han and Leia.

Kylo and Rey have an intimate connection. That much is incredibly clear. They're bound by the same Fate set by the Force. But Rey is just as sassy and quick to jump to conclusions as Princess Leia (not General Organa), and Ben has the same hot headed temper as his father.

A lot would argue that Kylo's offer at the end of the Red Room fight scene is the same as Vader's to Luke.

"You can kill the emperor. He has forseen this. Join me, and we can rule the galaxy together as father and son."

But the difference is the actual meaning behind the two offers. Vader wasn't offering just father-son bonding time to Luke. He wanted him due to his Force sensitivity and power. He wanted Luke as Apprentice.

Kylo wasn't asking her to be an apprentice. Sure he has been telling her he'd be her teacher, but after she found Luke, that sorta flew out the window. No, he wanted her as his equal by his side. Her destiny wasn't individual. It wasn't her own. He knew this, they both did.

It was a logical decision and an emotional one. He wanted a partner. He wanted her.

I really hope they make Reylo official. Like bluntly official. So I can finally yell AHA I TOLD YOU to my fiancé and watch him grumble and sigh and be a killjoy.

And because they deserve to be together. Alive. Making beautiful Jedi babies.
