"Turn around my bride, I'm only here..."
________________________________________
If you continue reading this, you'll get a glimpse at the mindset these two characters have put me into for the past 3 months. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that I am obsessed with them.
To begin with, I'm fascinated with their characters as individuals. I think Rey is without a doubt one of the greatest female heroines in recent decades - and that's with only this film. Eight and nine will probably extend that and I'm legitimately dead at the thought of it. She's strong and vulnerable without needing those traits to define her. She makes her own choices and fears the unknown but chases after it anyway and I basically adore her. She's my favorite new character from this trilogy.
THEN THERE'S MY TRASH SON BEN SOLO/KYLO REN. It's hard for me to try to defend him when there's really no factual reason for me to...yet. Let me put it this way: I'm highly convinced that his redemption is tied to the entire Anakin/prophecy/Force balance- thing. The Force Awakens was a very blatant homage to A New Hope and in many ways you can also connect characters. Although Kylo does seem to be the "new" Vader, having Ben be like Anakin would also make sense. I also refuse to believe that Han and Leia would raise someone who was beyond saving. A lot of my theories involve his grooming (from a young age) by Snoke and the mind manipulation he's endured his entire young life. His reckless behavior and violent tendancies are red flags of an abused childhood and I think he has felt alone his entire life, even with Han, Leia and Luke loving him. I feel like I'm getting on a soap box here and in no way do I want to casually forgive his crimes or marginalize his actions, but I strongly feel that his backstory and the path ahead of him will converge to help him achieve what Anakin couldn't - the unification of the light and the dark.
This brings me to the two of them as a combination. I hands down believe that these two are the primary characters of this trilogy and that whatever kind of relationship they have will be the focus of the next films. Of course I ship them because I'm trash but I'm also highly interested in their relationship as a hero/villain, as two sides of the same coin, as people searching to fulfill a destiny that they soon realize involves another person, I'M HERE FOR IT ALL, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS.
I don't want to turn this description box into my own personal Star Wars meta but I basically talk about this ad nauseum on my Twitter if you want to find me there - / hanneybean7
I have a handful of other ideas in the works right now but the eeriness of this song and the undertones of fear and obsession really sold me for portraying their relationship in TFA. I can't wait to vid them in the future when more of the relationship is explained and delved into.
OF COURSE, YASMIN. I feel like I mention you in everything I do lately but whatever, you might as well fill-in-the-blank for this message to you because you know exactly how I feel about you and this film and THIS and everything we've gone through for 3 months.
