omg Fizz I love it

Just remembered another:

46. Kylo taking Rey and walking across an open battlefield was the least logical thing to do and he wasn't thinking tactically.

“So the idea here is that Kylo Ren’s gotten inside of Rey’s head, sees that she has seen the map and is now letting go of the droid as his goal, and focusing just on her. And clearly you think, well he must be able to just extract the information he wants now. But because he’s taken her, you get a sense that there might be something else going on here.”

I really hope we get more archives references in the ST. Like even if our two favorite nerds are stuck together and he starts going on about it and she'll roll her eyes with "yes you've already told me about your special access to the Imperial archives like already 100 times."

@snufkin

I do too! As a former library archives worker during my college years, I can attest to both the nerdiness and asocial leanings of those in that line of work. It's too good a reference for Rian to pass up if the two nerds are trapped together inside an ancient Jedi temple.

Quick, now make a list of things the antis predicted correctly or were right about!

1)....Kylo Ren's a meanie?

That, in fact, might be the most apt way of looking at the ST: JJ and Rian's smutty Star Wars fan fiction, starring Kylo Ren as JJ' s self-insert and Rey as his #dreamwoman.

@MeadowofAshes

Nothing beats the TFA novelization. You know, where Kylo pushed into Rey?

@ISeeAnIsland

Haha, yes! And before that we get to a taste of Deep Thoughts With Kylo Ren so we see what a brooding bad boy he is. "He was content within himself". Yeah. Until he touched her anew after her "clumsy efforts to keep him out".

Speaking of which, I'll add this:

#47 The official Lucasfilm artwork released for Star Wars Celebration on London 2016, particularly The Abduction by Erik Maell, and Call to the Light, by Brandon Kenney.
These definitely don't look like pictures depicting cousins.

"This girl... She must be my little cousin I hid on Jakku as a fifteen year old," said the vulnerable, conflicted warlord as he held her hips level with his manly area and gazed at her decolette.

"That's right, fandom," said Lucasfilm as they gave Reywalkers the middle finger by selecting Erik's delightfully camp artwork.

@ZioRen

I would love the idea, but I think it needs it's own thread, maybe? It would be awesome.

And I looooove this thread, but you guys have been so through, I can't think of anything else to add. Some things are not yet proven.

There is another

47. The main story revolves around Kylo and Rey.

"…Now we come back to the story that we really care about, the focus of the story, and that’s Rey and Ren." -JJ Abrams

You forgot to add he's...uh...an Anakin fanboy who...uuuuhhhhhhh...hurt Finn and Rey!

Clearly, your mind is in the gutter and has a messed up view of family relations!  As someone who has many cousins who are straight males, I can certainly attest that it's completely normal for them, during family gatherings and special events, to greet me after not seeing me for a long time and pick me up like a bride and hold my hips level with their private areas. And my parents, brother, aunts and uncles absolutely have no issue or qualms with such behavior because it's absolutely normal and purely familial to do this with your cousin, especially your female cousin.  /sarcasm

And it's certainly common for in art and literature to have a male cousin linger in the dark background, gazing longingly at his female cousin, and looking like a Byronic male protagonist.    God, you Reylos are clearly projecting!

I will never get over the placement of Rey's scavenger fanny pack/bum bag in that Erik Maell Abduction artwork!

I forgot all about that part from our original discussion when this art piece first made its debut!!!



Well done, Erik.

@IoJovi

I swear to God, it's actually the first time I noticed this.

I am ashamed of myself.

I just keep thinking about how it could possibly hit him if it shifts the wrong way.

Just thought of another one.

48. Us: Reylo has gained popularity and validity. Many would be open to it if done well.

Them: Nah, Reylo suck$$!!! It'll never be canon no one likes that shiiii

Places top ten most popular ships of the year on Tumblr/top het ship overall, second most thing Daisy is asked about beyond parentage

@Xylo Ren

Regarding Reylo's popularity, that reminds me of the time antis tried to claim that Kylo merch (thus Kylo) wasn't popular or selling because of that article surrounding the #WheresRey toy debacle after TFA's release (when there were so few Rey toys/merch available) even though the issue was the lack of Rey.

In the last year and some, I've been paying attention and based on what I've seen in stores, Amazon, and also during Halloween, Christmas and at Disney world, Celebration, etc., Kylo merch is quite popular. So there's another thing antis were wrong about and misconstrued.

@Kessel

Thus we can add another one:

49.) "Kylo is super unpopular, no one buys his merch! He suck$$!"

Incontestably the number one most cosplayed character at Celebration behind Rey, His Figuarts Unmasked figure is going for triple the price (I know as a collector), Disney plasters him all over the friggin ads for Battlefront II and the mf'ing teaser poster.

Here's one that goes a bit with 'Kylo is unpopular!!'.

Only white people like Kylo/Reylo.
