ADAM DRIVER as RANDY THE INTERN on SNL | 25 January 2020

Out of context, this looks…..uh….😳

#When I say The Last Jedi was Space Pride and Prejudice I honestly mean it

ATTENTION REYLO FAM!

WINDSWEPT BEN AND REY I’M SCREAMING

Sigh. We will never see the likes of five-Adam-Driver-films-and-a-Broadway-play 2019 again? Let us take a moment to appreciate that we were alive in this halcyon year. Yes, everything else on planet earth turned to shit but we had lorge tol boy Adam Driver to gently guide us through the hellscape, every step of the way. Whether he was tango-dancing, Sondheim-singing, tiny-robe-wearing, paper-shuffling, lightsaber-grabbing or killing zombies with a machete, Driver was HERE FOR US this year. He will surely take the whole of 2020 off for a nice lie-down and it is well-deserved.

Ben looking at Rey in the throne room. His eyes say so much…

One thing I am both grateful for and…. really upset over is that for like 10 minutes, we get Ben Solo as free as he’s ever been. And just from the like, 3 clips I’ve seen, the difference in his physicality, his expressions and his energy is so completely opposite from Kylo’s… I just want to applaud Adam for giving us that. Kylo’s every movement looked so… restrained and stiff in comparison? Like he was holding in everything that he is, putting it all away. And he looked so pained most of the time. Tried to stay as stoic as he possibly could. Seething.  But Ben? Fuckin’ wild XD. The determination, the confidence, the sass, the absolute badassery… Always grateful that we got to see that. But upset that that’s all we got… Just when we started seeing who he really is, they ripped him away. But what we did get was fucking beautiful. As this tweet so elegantly put it:

Everybody say “Thank You Adam Driver”, Who brought his A-game even in this mess.

The look Kylo has when Rey is being tortured vs the one after she shuts the door (& maybe the force skype).

One is right before he kills his father figure who has been with him for decades - FOR HER. The other is after claiming he’ll destroy her.

Do you see a difference? If anything, he looks even more deeply in love and afraid in the bottom one. Definitely not the look of someone who actually wants to destroy Rey.
