One of the best living directors said "You know what, I could try to make it so the end of Star Wars doesn't suck" and they said "I don't get it."

Mr. Bob Iger, did you forget that Luke Skywalker himself even said "No one's ever really gone" to his sister Leia SPECIFICALLY ABOUT HER SON BEN SOLO. I mean COME ON!!!!!!

a man with a beard is saying no one 's ever really gone .

Alt: Scene from "The Last Jedi" where Luke Skywalker tells his sister Leia that "No one's ever really gone"

Ugh, the whole "sidelined" thing. And not even necessarily a Force-wielder; guarantee you if Finn had gone on the Canto Bight mission with Poe (or any other man, or even 3PO I bet) instead of Rose, a lot of people would be singing a different tune

the "any other main character in a star wars story that includes Force-wielders as main characters is Sidelined™️ if they're not constantly onscreen with said Force-wielders" discourse is so destructive, especially when people don't realize that's what they're implying.

Has anyone talked about how meta it is that Adam was the one to go in and pull all this out of the disaster that is TROS and in a way "rescue" the Reylos?

Just like Ben ran into the underworld to "rescue" Rey?

Like........

Just cried for a couple minutes over how Chewie is all alone at the end of the saga with just about everyone he loved for the last 30 years now dead. I haven’t cried over that in years. I gotta chill I can’t let myself start caring about Star Wars in that way again so quickly…

Jessie, with all due respect, there is nothing random about bringing back Ben Solo, the last Skywalker, the prince of Alderaan, grandson of Queen Amidala, and the love interest of the main character of the Sequel Trilogy, in a franchise where "no one is ever really gone."

And we can have all of it. We should have all of it, there is room at the table for all of it. I want all of these stories and beyond. But the one that's getting the attention is the one that someone actively involved wrote and got people on board before incompetent suits said no.

Like that's so fundamentally Star Wars. Saving what we love. Saving each other. Rian nailed it when he didn't let Finn sacrifice himself, but the choice was still there. He chose a side.

But you don't have to die for a cause. You can live for it.

Some people really don’t care for the family drama space opera angle as much or even at all

Tristan @lcielia.bsky.social · 14h

I think this gets at the dissonance between people who take Star Wars more literally and allegorically and people who are more tapped into like the mythic and emotional angle

The fact that for years YEARS every Reylo Ik was so hopeful for Ben Solo movie while so painfully scared😢 cos that most likely meant no more Adam Driver cos he was so successful/busy everywhere & it'd be near impossible to get him on board BUT holy moly HE WAS LEADING THE FIGHT 😭 #TheHuntForBenSolo

Just thinking that people always talk about how redemption and forgiveness are not the same thing, and here's a PERFECT vehicle to illustrate that!

IDK I just love the idea of confronting all the cool implications that TROS avoided, many of which center Finn.

ALSO just imagine if the New Republic 2 leadership want Kylo Ren held accountable, so they send Finn & Rey to "hunt" him. So Finn's looking to bring him to justice and Rey to save her soulmate, leading to juicy conflict, exploration of atonement, Finn reflecting on his time as a Stormtrooper, etc.

It's just very telling the way certain people never mention Finn until they need to weaponize him against fans of Ben Solo.

If only both characters had been done justice (RIP Stormtrooper Rebellion plotline), perhaps we would be free.

Yes they all gave up their lives to save him, he deserves to live!

He represents a way for the wound of his family’s generations of loss and heartbreak to be mended. Him and Rey together are a new path forward for the Skywalkers to be a happy, loving family. Ben’s return is everything.

A dual screencap from the Neflix movie Kpop Demon Hunters. The first half shows a crowd of fans, lending Rumi their strength with their voices. The second part shows the character Rumi, running at full speed, surrounded by the positive energy of her fans.

The fans are labeled, "Star Wars Fans." Rumi is labeled, "Adam Driver on his way to a second meeting with Bob Iger"
