The Whills are exposed as the hidden power behind all of the galaxy’s major conflicts and successfully exterminated in a cooperative effort between the First Order and Resistance.

Will the movie finally reveal what happened to Darth Vader's Soul Edge and Soul Calibur?

Does Namco not distribute Star Wars toys and stuff in Japan anymore? With movies coming out regularly again I'm surprised they didn't do another guest character.

He spends most of his down time on the toilet.

More seriously, I think Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader deals with him getting used to the suit.

I was very glad that the original intention/art from Empire Strikes Back where he lived in a giant castle on a planet otherwise covered in lava was made canon. I just wish he had a pair of pet dragons like they originally wanted to do back then too.

Daisy Ridley assures 'this Reylo thing' will be addressed in The Rise of Skywalker

quote:

The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker star was asked about the ambiguous relationship between her heroic rebel and Adam Driver‘s villainous First Order leader. The two are not entirely enemies. They’re certainly not friends. They don’t seem to not be attracted to each other. There’s just a lot of kind-of-hard-to-pin down tension floating around that’s led to all sorts of speculation, debates and romantic fan art.

“It does not bother me, people writing theories,” Ridley said. “It’s really fun hearing them. Plus, because I know what’s sort of going to happen, I think it’ll be really interesting to see people’s reaction to [the final film]. Obviously, there’s this whole Reylo thing and some people are very passionate about it, some aren’t.”

Ridley hinted that the seemingly romantic connection isn’t left unaddressed by director J.J. Abrams in The Rise of Skywalker.

“J.J. does deal with [it],” she added. “It’s a very complex issue. People talk about toxic relationships and whatever it is. It’s no joke and I think it’s dealt with really well because it’s not skimmed over.”

Putting aside my lack of faith in Disney to handle anything properly at all, it's really not complicated to figure out "Reylo." Like, they challenge each other philosophically and politically. On the really basic level, this should be the relationship which redeems Kyle Ben- she makes him want to be a better person (as defined by the ideology of the films). Going one step further is that the result should be a synthesis, of course, but Disney doesn't need to get that right for the result to be a depiction of the beginning of a healthy relationship or whatever. Like yeah, their relationship isn't healthy now, but they're bitter ideological rivals at the moment.

I wonder if they'll show penetration

you know like that movie "Baise Moi"

edit: efb

Edit 2: seriously though there was already a rape scene in TFA. He mind rapes her.

Then in TLJ Luke walks in on Kylo finger banging her. He's like an angry dad.

Pretty sure TLJ wrapped this up by having Kylo Force-Skype Rey towards the end, and she hangs up on him by closing the Falcon’s landing ramp.

Um, yes, interrogations have overtones of rape. The subtext of Vader interrogating Leia is much more directly a rape metaphor. But what actually happens in TFA is that Kylo makes a creepy attempt to flirt and gets shut down hard.

If we're going to make comparisons to rape, don't be creepy or weird about it. Discuss it with some sensitivity. Rape is a serious crime, and it doesn't need to be joked about or discussed in weird ways. You don't get a pass just because you're using Star Wars telepathy as a comparison point to sexual assault.

It’s not like you have to dig very deep for sexual undertones in the scene in question. He has her tied down and is telling her “you’ll give me what I want!”

Then in the second one she has a big ol’ crush on him. Is that weird? I dunno

Like I said, the topic is fine. Just have some decorum for the gravity of which you’re comparing.

Flippant remarks and weird analogies are asking for trouble with that stuff, so just be wary of what you’re posting might come off as hosed up or weird.
