IT’s okay! There have been a lot of posts so I get it =)
It’s a big question of course, but my stance is mostly that the force bond isn’t gone, there’s going to be a long time jump similar to esb -> rotj, and that leaves a lot of time for the bond to deepen – and more time for Kylo to be plagued by Rey and vice versa.
So they’re tied forever honestly through the force.
I think there will be some sort of Hux-led coup and maybe Kylo is exiled, or something to that effect. I honestly am not really sure how Ep 9 will play out, but I know how it will likely end – with Rey and Kylo together in some firm and romantic way. With Kylo making the RIGHT, the BETTER choice – and with Rey giving a little on her end in terms of the ‘side’ argument.
Because I think Rey is going to learn in those few years, read the Jedi books, that you can’t have sides in the Force and still be balanced – it can’t all be about Light, you can’t ignore that dark power exists as well – the way the Jedi did so often.
And I think that Rey will help Kylo with that, I think she’s much more balanced in her Force use than anyone I’ve seen.
The lesson of Ep 9 will be, I think, that it’s all about your choices on how to use the power – that was hinted at a lot in this one – Rey says ‘he hadn’t chosen’ to Luke. His mind/heart was supposedly ‘filled with darkness’ but he hadn’t left, he was still with Luke training. He hadn’t made any choice until Luke made it for him.
