“Star Wars is an optimistic, spiritual world, and more like a fairytale […] Ever since I was a kid, all that matters to me is the love story. It’s the thing I had to find first. Sometimes, [the love story] is obvious, sometimes a bit more complicated.” - JJ

- - -

“We’ve tried to pick up that complicated relationship that really has been present ever since the interrogation in Episode VII. When Ren takes off his mask, there’s a nakedness about him with Rey that he doesn’t express to anyone else. Rian developed that in fascinating ways and we’ve been able to develop it even further.” - Chris

- - -

“Describe Rey and Kylo’s relationship in one word: Desperate (JJ), Connected (Daisy), Very, very complicated (KK)”

- - -

“For example, we looked at it like a Western, or a fairytale. What are the elements you’re going to see that makes it this genre, this specific genre? […] You’re probably going to have a castle and a prince and a princess, if you’re looking at a fairytale.” - JJ

- - -

“When his mask comes off, you see Adam Driver, and he just looks like a sort of prince.” - JJ

- - -

“In this scene she (Rey) is drawn to this place, almost like Cinderella.” - JJ

- - -

“And we’re back in the forest with the story that we really care about, the focus of the story, which is Rey and Ren.” - JJ

- - -

“What makes this story have a beating heart? We simply approached this narrative from the point of view that this is a story about a young man and a young woman, not with the idea that we can do anything we want.” JJ

- - -

“I know what the fans want, they want to see the dynamics between Rey and Kylo. I’m glad JJ was on the same exact page.” - John

- - -

“From the selflessness of young Anakin Skywalker, to the kindness of the scavenger Rey, compassion is an essential theme in the Star Wars universe.” - Star Wars via Twitter

- - -

“You have compassion for her.” - TFA Novelization 

- - -

*Across the Stars plays on audiobook as: “Rey would wait, however difficult that would be to do as the First Order warships descended on crait. She would wait, and the future would unfold as the Force willed.” - TLJ novelization 

- - -

“I will say, without talking about redemption or not, that he (Adam) is mind blowing in this. Like he’s brought a whole other level to this. So I can’t wait for you to see what happens to him. It’s pretty fun.” - JJ

- - -

“I don’t think so, because I think he (Kylo) is redeemable.” - Daisy

- - -

“I think there are so many themes in the Star Wars films, my favorite being redemption…the idea of redemption.” - Kelly

- - -

“A bond between two living beings is not something easily broken. It is not a choice…it is like breaking a feeling. Like turning away from the Force. To break a bond, your feelings would have to change, or one of you would have to die—but even then, the bond wouldn’t go away, it would simply…it would simply be empty, a wound.” - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, Wookieepedia 

- - -

Recent comic releases: Show Rey struggling with the Force, not finding belonging with the resistance, feeling isolated and alone. Show Ben Solo fleeing from the Jedi students who wrongly accuse him of murder, show him literally using the Force to stop himself from dying after being yeeted.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…

Or more commonly known as:

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away…

It’s a fairytale. It’s a complicated fairytale. It literally has a prince and Rey is referred to as a princess. I’d argue it might even be loosely inspired from Beauty and the Beast.

And if it doesn’t end with a redeemed, alive Ben Solo…I don’t even have words for that kind of clownery. That’s D&D S8 level nonsense and I don’t think JJ wants a seat at that table. I’m just saying.

One last thing. JJ is raving about Adam, and has since TFA. He is not going to do him the disservice of that kind of shitty writing. DANY would have a more meaningful death, and we know how shitty that was. (Ben shows up only to do nothing in the final fight and bite the bullet before it even begins, giving the audience - and Adam - a beyond dissatisfying and insulting death? PLEASE.)

Please feel free to add more…I’ve typed enough and I’m tired.

Lol of course Christians should be loving but should we be yelled at for simply having a set of beliefs? Ya’ll attack and belittle almost no other religious group— it’s highly hypocritical. If ya’ll want “acceptance” why don’t you extend it— even to those who you disagree with?

Meet the faces of the “I’m Sorry” campaign, a group of Christians who go to Chicago’s pride celebrations every year to apologize for their past hateful actions against LGBT people. The group started in 2010 and has since moved to other cities across the world. This is what love looks like. (via the Advocate) 

The Droid, Where Is It?

She did say “becoming besties with you was the best thing” in an interview she & Adam did together. Like stated previously; they’re both very busy doing different things. That doesn’t mean they’re not friendly or friends.

I feel like Adam and Daisy aren’t friends but just have like a, cordial professional relationship. Which is absolutely fine! Not everyone in the cast will be personal friends. I just hate to see people get their expectations up, because I frankly don’t think Daisy is going to go see his play

you know there are varying levels of friendship, right? no one is saying they’re best friends (Adam doesn’t seem like he has the time or personality for a whole lot of best friends anyway lol) but they’re friends enough that Daisy has called him to ask for career advice before and gone for ‘a drinky-poo’ with him at the pub while they were filming and Adam has said he could ‘listen to her talk all day.’

and if she doesn’t go to Burn This, it’d most likely be because of a scheduling issue. it’s not just about Adam and Daisy, it’s a critically acclaimed Tony-nominated play that not one but two of her costars are in, and Oscar and Rian and other people she knows have also gone to see and probably recommended to all their friends, and Adam’s performance in it is quite frankly ART and something other artists want to witness even if they’re not his friend

Out of context, this looks…..uh….😳

“I saw something, too.” 

It’s one of those “feel good” songs that’ll get a ton of radio play but holds no substance.

No offense to Taylor Swift but the lyrics ‘I’m the only one of me, baby that’s the fun of me/you’re the only one of you, baby that’s the fun of you’ aren’t…wonderful.

we are alike, he said,

as no one else is, as no one else will ever be.

the truth of it rang through me.

like calls to like.

i would let ben solo ruin me with that lightsaber in a heartbeat
