Re: So what is "Reverse Anidala" and how do you see it playing out in the next two movies?
@vaderito There are definitely influences from Rashoman, Ran, and Seven Samurai in all of the scenes with Luke and Ben.
I'm not really a fan of the PT, but it did feel like all of the bad things Anakin does in the name of love is ultimately a pre-text about his ambitions to having power. Versus here, where the one time Ben tries to go after the power promised to him by the DS/Snoke by following orders to murder Han. Which Han outright warns him will end badly for him. And it's a complete fail/self delivered blow. So by the time Rey forces the issue, his decision is made to follow his "father's soft heart" as Snoke had taunted him about and save Rey from Snoke. He's still gotta work on the ambition issues, which are more to do with the hubris and entitlement which sprung up around the family thanks to Luke and Anakin's celebrity. This is why I think *if* they're planning on redeeming him and having him survive, he'll reject that side of his lineage and align himself with the more humble and heartfelt example that Han provided (and the worldview/social milleau Rey comes from).

Also handy test, compare Han's death with Snoke's. Same line of "I know what I have to do" (Snoke's fatal error), but very different moments in terms of his emotional engagement with the person he's killing. There's no moment with Snoke like how I just re-watched the manpain/Daddy issues extravaganza of Road to Perdition when Tom Hanks finally confronts Paul Newman after all of the betrayals his father figure has brought upon him. This scene, is Ben and Han, not Ben and Snoke. Different set of emotions/attachments. With Snoke, it's absolutely that his allegiance is with Rey because his emotions are with her.

@snufkin Well said! Ben didn't give a sith about Snoke. It was all about Rey.

@vaderito I'd like to think it's also a bit of sneaky vengeance on Han's behalf for Snoke's order to kill him. If they never go about telling the back story, I figure Snoke was a former client. And it's both about how Ben feels about his father and about Rey. Also a tiny bit of how Han really was the first person to really look at her and immediately empathize because he knew something horrible had happened to her. Ben's 100% his father's son with the soft heart that makes him react the same way towards her.

Kylo's "I know what I have to do" that precede both patricide scenes = epic AF. The repetition is a subtle "f*** you" to Snoke that only the audience is meant to fully grasp, much like Luke's "every single word you just said is wrong" being used to suggest that Luke is actually passing along a lesson to Ben.

Anakin has lost everything because of the woman he loves
Kylo got everything because of the woman he loves
Anakin has lost Padme and suffers from it
Kylo has lost Rey and suffers from it
but she is still alive

@vaderito We even get a bit of that between Rey and Snoke where she warns him that he’s underestimating her and Ben (which in your face, she uses his name to the guy who’s forbidden speaking it).

I loved that! She really challenged Snoke and was like Han's messenger from the other side.

I hope no one has added this, if there is , I'm sorry
I took it from Reddit :
From the Collider Imax Q&A
Fan :
"My question is about the last scene between Rey and Ben. He’s kneeling on the ground, he has his father’s dice in his hands that his uncle gave to his mother and his mother left for him, and he’s looking up at the person who’s the most important person in the world to him and before that door shuts, if he could have a do-over to go back to that moment, what do you think he would say or do differently and why?"
RJ
"That is such a great question. Will you be mad if I said that it’s such a great question, I don’t want to answer it? Only because I think that’s such a beautiful notion of “what does he regret in that moment”, it’s the same way I think about in Revenge of the Sith, that mask is coming down, that beautiful shot of Anakin’s eyes right before it goes over and you see that glimpse of… Is it fear? Is it regret? What is it? What is going through his mind at that moment? That’s that kind of moment for Ben and I don’t want to put that moment in your guys’s head. I feel like that’s a moment that everyone should read into themselves. But just posing that question is really beautiful."

the question could be...did I make the right choice? It's what I want?
Re: So what is "Reverse Anidala" and how do you see it playing out in the next two movies?
The fact that Rian automatically liked it to Anakin is all the answer I needed.

Rian Johnson not only watched the Prequels, but he paid attention to Anakin/Padme too .
this is the video :

So an amazing gifset from Tumblr - which I can't post here - with direct parallels between Anidala and Reylo already has 9.3k notes.

Re: So what is "Reverse Anidala" and how do you see it playing out in the next two movies?
by the way - Rey is much more aggressive towards Kylo/Ben than he ever was to her.
So, if someone complains Reylo is abusive I just reply...yeah, now that you mentioned it- Rey did abuse Kylo pretty badly several times
I'm not so much into the Anidala comparisons because I don't think you can really compare these two couples... yes, it is kind of "reverse" of the bad love story from the prequels but otherwise? Kylo and Rey are equals and soulmates in a way Anakin & Padme never were.
I thought Anakin & Padme were really horrible (sorry George - I love you, but that didn't work for me).

She really is. I can't stress enough how telling it is that Rey turned Kylo's weakness around on him, marred his face forever along with other wounds and left him broken and bleeding and defeated in the snow even though she's untrained, and Kylo isn't even the tiniest bit angry at her for it at the start of TLJ. EVEN AFTER Snoke just humiliated him about just that, he doesn't turn around and project his anger and frustration at Rey. Kylo, the master of projection, never turns his internalized anger from Snoke's abuse at Rey. He's fascinated and downright soft from the start.
They're pretty darn different from Anidala despite the visual parallels Rian obviously put in TLJ. That might be on purpose, as in they might redeem that love story in a meta kind of way.
