Jason is a an official Reylo shipper.

So one day he's upset about Reylo and now he's back to posting about it again. I am so confused

I don't think he was ever upset about Reylo...  It was more about him getting dragged into shipping wars on twitter.

Yes exactly - Jason was tired of people putting words in his mouth and dragging him into fandom discourse. It had nothing to do with the actual story direction.

They apparently have a Smut Hut set setup at Galactic Nights:

Whoa



Gotta be back-end points for sure, otherwise the budget would be like $400m.

@Kylo Rey

I think that's end total. The budget for TLJ was $200 million. While I'm sure he got a pay raise, given TFA made 2 billion dollars (and I strongly suspect Rian will also get paid more for his trilogy), I also know he gets personal cuts from both SW and Trek movies, given he is both a producer and a major enough director. Plus his Bad Robot company clearly gets a share for co-producing with LF. Dude's got it cut out for him.

IKR! Gosh, that's a lot of money.

Makes me think how unequally money is distributed in our society.

Don't get me wrong- let them make loads of money if they put out great movies for us to enjoy.

But 100 million is more than anyone needs - ever.

In a way, JJ and all the others at LF and Disney only get these massive sums of money if we the audience give them that money. None of this actually works if the world doesn't throw all their cash at SW, which it usually does. I mean, we have the demand, LF just supplies.

I hear you. JJ has made Disney billions and, hey, good on him for negotiating for that. He seems like a lovely person and 100 million is, honestly, nothing compared to the top 3 richest men in the US, who own more wealth than the 160 million people who are the bottom 50% of the country economically. Nevertheless, it still brings to mind how intense concentrations of wealth (and the intense concentrations of poverty/inequality that produces) are a huge thing rn.

Interesting conversation- but I understand where that viewpoint is coming from. And that's why I personally root for a happy ending in IX
Not even a bittersweet one- but a real happy ending.

they basically "destroyed" that good feeling the audience had by the end of RotJ for the sequel trilogy - and I know it was necessary but they had to end IX on a note that makes the people feel it was worth it after all that pain and suffering.

I made a comment about this yesterday on a different thread. IX basically needs to be really explicit in addressing what the galaxy keeps doing wrong, and do something very different as a response. No force order, different government system? Convince people that happy ending has a better chance of staying happy than it did before.

Look what Ron Howard retweeted

Damn... you could outfit a small army with that kind of money.

Which is why - as much as I’d love more reylo content - I’m happy and I believe and hope that IX is the end of the Skywalker saga. Otherwise it’s just a never-ending story and frankly it’d be quite tiring. Not taking my reylobsession into account, as a movie freak I actually like RO and Solo so much partly cos there’s no or hardly any Force in these stories - I like the spiritual take of the OT and that the Force appears throughout the whole trilogy but there’s other content too, however, the scientific take of the PT combined with the Force present in so many subplots and all the magical tricks and crazy duels made me a little fed-up already - I’m excited for some new future takes, like Rian Johnson’s trilogy, but let’s leave the Skywalkers alone . Even the perspective of books and comics or some cameos in TV series and cartoons gives me mixed feelings - on one hand I wanna devour reylo content, but on the other hand there’d likely be some big evil stuff to fight with again, especially that both Rey and Kylo are force users - unless these stories would be more like Solo, smaller scale adventures. And if we’re to get anything about Reylo children, then I’m sure we’d go through the Skywalker curse all over again and it’d undermine the happy ending of IX, which would feel like currently the ending of RotJ. I just want Rey and Kylo to find peace and belonging together and the galaxy have some rest.

Huh? That's just a random fan talking about what they want to see. I hope he releases that concept art book. They have so much extra/BTS material which fans would love to see.

SW Twitter has been just so active this weekend. Here's some to appease those worrying about Solo's effects on the future of SW.
