Star Wars the Rise of Skywalker is the movie that wrapped up the whole Skywalker Saga. Throughout the movie, it takes you on an adrenaline rush with many plot twists and surprises. There are spoilers for TROS, TFA, and TLJ. For one who knew Rey was Palpatine’s Granddaughter? When I found out during the movie, it gave me the chills.
Star Wars is honestly my favorite thing to watch.
The Rise of Skywalker was very entertaining, though it left a lot of loose ends that could have been tucked in better. What I’m saying is that why did they give Rey the yellow Lightsaber at the end of the Saga? Throughout this you will find out how REYLO is a thing!
REYLO in The Force Awakens
Rey was a scavenger who didn’t know her past, she then ran into a droid named BB-8. She took the droid to the village in Jakku, her boss offered her a fortune if she sold the droid to him. Rey refused because she had a feeling that the droid was important, Rey then ran into a former First Order Trooper. Rey ends up making friends with FN-2187 or Finn. Rey and Finn stole the Falcon and got in a dog fight with some tie fighters.
They met Han Solo and Chewie on their adventure. A while later they go to Maz Kanata’s place, so they can get a ride. They talked to Maz and Rey walked off hearing voices. Rey followed the voices and found a chest, she opened the chest and grabbed the Lightsaber inside. This threw Rey into a force vision, she fell out of it with Maz saying that the saber called to her.
Meaning that the saber belongs to her. Rey denies the saber and runs off into the forest. She then encounters Kylo Ren who takes her hostage. Rey gets asked questions but she doesn’t answer them. Rey instead ticks off Kylo Ren reading his mind saying that he would never be as powerful as Darth Vader. Rey then tricked a trooper to release her, she escaped and when Kylo Ren returned he was ticked so he destroyed the whole room.
Rey ran into Finn and they ran off to blow up Star Killer base, they found Kylo Ren. Han solo went to confront his son and Kylo Ren did something he would regret for the rest of his life, he killed his father. Chewy shot Kylo Ren in the leg, a while later Finn and Rey are fighting Kylo Ren as Starkiller slowly blew up. Finn got knocked unconscious and Rey gave Kylo Ren a scar. Kylo Ren was being an idiot by toying with Rey and Finn, but overall the chances he had. He never did kill Rey in this movie.
REYLO in The Last Jedi
Star Wars The Last Jedi, the Resistance base is under attack and Rey has gone to where Luke was hiding. The Resistance escaped and Poe disobeyed orders. Poe insulted General Hux and blew up a Dreadnought. He got demoted by Leia and Luke wouldn’t train Rey. Kylo Ren goes with a squadron to blow up the resistance, but he senses that his mother was on the bridge and kept himself from firing.
He didn’t want to kill his mother, it was already hard enough for him to kill his father. But his squadron fired blowing up the bridge. Leia was the only survivor from the blast. Finn and Rose went to Canto Bight in hopes of finding a way to defeat the order. Rey convinced Luke to train her.
Rey then started seeing Kylo Ren through the force. Luke caught her once and they battled, and Luke told her the truth of what happened. Luke had failed his apprentice, not the other way around. Rey and Chewy flew off and Rey boarded the ship Kylo Ren was on. Rey was “Captured” by Kylo Ren and was taken to Smoke. Snoke is the Supreme leader so he was in charge.
Snoke wanted Rey to tell him about Skywalker and the Resistance and Rey were refusing. Jump back to Finn and Rose, they were captured by the troopers. Poe was leading a mutiny against Haldo. Kylo Ren was just standing there waiting for orders from Snoke when Snoke told him to kill Rey. Rey was like he’s not gonna kill me. Snoke was like your a stupid person I can read his thoughts.
Kylo Ren turned his blade and the blade next to Snoke, he then pointed it at Rey and the other at Snoke. Snoke then said goodbye to the threat to his power and Kylo Ren ignited the blade next to Snoke killing him. Rey grabbed her blade and stood back to back with Kylo Ren ready to battle Snoke’s guards. They battled the guards and won the battle. Kylo Ren then was telling Rey to join the dark side and that they can rule the galaxy together.
Now let’s pause for a second and rewind on what Kylo Ren was saying. Join the dark side and they could rule the galaxy together.
How is REYLO Possible?
Hmm REYLO is a thing here as well. People may be like, there is no time for them to develop a love story in the middle of the war. But here’s my point, in Disney movies and any movie in general. The two main characters fall in love and they don’t even know each other yet!
Which is why it’s like this with Rey and Kylo Ren. The movie posters for the Star Wars movies always have the people who love each other next to each other. In the poster images below, you will see that the Phantom Menace that Padme and Anakin are right Next to each other. Same with the next two posters. Then A New Hope, Luke, and Leia.
This was before they knew they were related. The Empire Strikes Back, Han and Leia. And Return of the Jedi, which fun fact was originally going to be called Revenge of the Jedi. But since Revenge isn’t the Jedi way, they changed it to Return. But Han and Leia.
Now the Force Awakens, Kylo Ren is next to Rey who is next to Finn. Rey is like I go back to Jakku and Finn and Kylo Ren like Rey. The Last Jedi is with Rey and Kylo Ren next to each other because they like each other yet hate each other. Now The Rise Of Skywalker, Rey and Kylo Ren are next to each other in it.
Star Wars is a war story, but if you pay attention it is a love story!
Back to REYLO in The Last Jedi
Anyways, continuing after that, Haldo slices the ship in half. Haldo died doing that but the Resistance makes their way to Crait in small transports. Rey was refusing to join Kylo Ren, they broke out in a fight with the force trying to grab Luke’s lightsaber. It snapped in half flinging them both across the room and knocking them out. Rey was the first one to gain consciousness, she could have killed Kylo Ren.
But she didn’t! Rey escaped and went to Crait with Chewie and the Falcon. Finn, Poe, Rose, and a few more Resistance fighters speed out of the old base on Crait. They went to make a stand against the First Order for being a bully. They fail and go back to the base when Luke shows up.
Luke says hello to his sister Leia and goes out to battle the whole first order. Ben Solo woke up and claimed that Rey had killed Supreme Leader Snoke and took the power for himself. He went to Crait to blow the Resistance up, but Skywalker walked out. Kylo Ren told everyone to fire on the Jedi. Hux then told everyone to stop and that Kylo was exaggerated and that the guy was dead.
The dust settled and Skywalker stood there waiting for Ben to go down in hand to hand combat. Kylo Ren went and even stabbed Skywalker, but Skywalker was a decoy. The Resistance was escaping, Kylo Ren ran into the base and saw as Rey closed the door to the Falcon and took off.
Kylo Ren could have used the force and stopped them but he didn’t let them get away.
REYLO in The Rise Of Skywalker
Now the next movie is like a year later I think, but Kylo Ren sets off to find the person who could possibly take over his rule. Palpatine had been taking over all radio frequencies frightening everyone. Kylo Ren went to Exegol, but instead of killing Palpatine he started working for him. Rey was training on the planet the Resistance was on and returned saying she got distracted, but when she got distracted.
She was thinking about Kylo Ren. Finn and Poe returned with news that there is a spy in the First Order, the Spy’s identity is unknown. Rey looks for a way-finder and Ben stole a necklace of hers. As Rey and her friends battled, Chewie was captured. Rey and Ben were playing tug of war with the transport, Rey blew it up with lightning.
It was shocking!
Rey and her friends rescued Chewie and a Dagar. Rey and Ben battled. They went to a planet with the remains of the Death Star, the Falcon crashed and Rey went onto the Deathstar finding the Sith Wayfinder. As Rey grabbed it she had a force vision of her dark side self. Ben destroyed the way-finder, Rey and Ben battled.
Leia died and Rey stabbed Ben with his lightsaber. Rey could have left him there to die, but she healed him and stole his Tie Fighter. Rey blew it up and Luke was like go beat Palpatine. Rey grabbed Wayfinder and went in an X-wing, she flew to Xegol. The Resistance went there too.
Kylo Ren was talking to a memory of his father and he finally chose to go by his actual name, Ben. Ben Solo, now a good guy goes to Exegol to help Rey kill Palpatine. Palpatine is manipulating Rey and her friends are getting blown up. Ben Solo is getting beat up by the Knights Of Ren. Rey comes with a choice and she uses the force to give Ben her lightsaber.
Ben now has defeated the Knights of Ren and was on his way to help Rey. Palpatine stole almost all of their life force making himself all-powerful once again. Rey and Ben are on the ground extremely weak, Ben gets up and Palpatine force pushed Ben off a cliff. Rey after a while with the help of all the Jedi before her gets up to beat Palpatine. Palpatine is then like I am all the Sith and Rey is like I am all the Jedi.
Palpatine blasts lightning at Rey but Rey deflects it all defeating Palpatine melting him into nothingness. Rey then out of exhaustion dies. Ben then climbs out of the cliff hole. Ben falls, he gets up and staggers over to Rey. Ben then uses the force to heal Rey.
They smile in the joy that the war has ended, they then kissed.
THEY KISSED!!
Anyways Ben then dropped to the ground, dead. Then he fades away and becomes a force ghost. Leia then fades away as well. The Resistance celebrated, Rey then went to Tatooine and went to Luke’s old home. Someone then asks who Rey is.
Rey then responds with Rey. She is like Rey who? Rey then looked in the distance and saw Luke and Leia’s force ghosts. Rey looked back at the lady and said Rey Skywalker.
She said Skywalker!
She didn’t say Palpatine, because everyone in the galaxy feared that name. And also the people that were like parents to her went by the name of Skywalker. Rey is not a Skywalker by blood though, so that means she is not related to Ben.
Love Story
This is how I conclude that REYLO is a thing. It is a thing because ever since we knew Kylo Ren or Ben Solo and we knew Rey. They have always loved each other.
In fact, during TFA Kylo Ren is like WHAT GIRL.
He didn’t know who Rey was. Yet he always seemed to know who she was. Did he originally know who Rey was once he found out who she was? He even tried manipulating her with her past to get her to join him.
Also in TLJ, he said let the past die, kill it if you have to. He had killed his father and almost killed his mother then. He wanted the Skywalkers to be gone. He wanted his family line to have a fresh start. He had gotten over the whole Darth Vader thing as well.
He had practically told Rey the past is the past. But Rey wouldn’t let go. She knew that if she did it would be down a path of evil. But when he offered her again but as Ben, not Kylo Ren, she was more welcoming to the thought.
The End?
Star Wars is most likely not at an end, but Disney is most likely tricking people in believing Star Wars is no more. Then they will make an epic comeback with more REYLO for people to enjoy.
