« Luke remembered what he accomplished and agreed to train Rey, because of her great capacities. During her training to master the Force, she came into contact with Kylo through telepathy. They both developed an intense relationship with each other. »
« "-Execute Rey to prove your loyalty ! " ordered Snoke. Kylo, unable to hurt her, turned against his Master and killed him.
Then, he formed a team with Rey against the Supreme Leader’s guards.
-“Join me and together, we will reign over the galaxy ! ” he begged her.
Despite the contradictory feelings she has for Kylo, Rey refused and reunited with Chewbacca on the Millenium Falcon. »
Underline that over and over. The line is actually:
Since Kylo is UNABLE to hurt the girl….
Which should shut every anti’s face about how manipulative and false he is when dealing with her… that’s how clear they are with kids. Kids who, by the way, usually get Kylo better than grown ups…
He BEGGED her to be his ‘Reigna’ (queen, essentially), she had CONTRADICTORY feelings (the space maiden that she is – his thicc torso and pleading eyes are alluring, but the virtue of the cause is in the way). How much more gothic romance does it have to get?
Long story short: My work (which is an International Development non-profit with a focus on children) is doing an article on feminism and Star Wars next week, with a focus on Rey (yes I get to post on Tumblr for work). So if you guys have any facts about Star Wars that related to gender equality and empowerment of women – especially the new trilogy – and you’re like “This MUST be mentioned!” please send it my way. Cite sources if you can (or I’ll verify them myself if I can). These can be related to production or the story or both.
Feel free to leave comments or reblog or whatever.
