Question for Reylos/Bendemptionists who only recently got into Star Wars with the sequel trilogy:

fluffycakesistainted:

How did you initially connect with or get invested in Ben Solo as a character? 

A major component of his characterization and his arc is that he’s quite literally the product of all 6 previous movies combined (meaning he’s the product of “The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker”. Which, of course he is). He holds the legacy of all the Skywalkers, from Shmi on down, and of some major Skywalker-adjacent characters, within both his blood and his names.

For me, it was the moment he started talking to Vader’s helmet and confessed being “pulled to the light”. I kind of had this record scratch moment because that’s not the kind of conflict you’re expecting from someone who’s supposed to be a villain. “I want more power/to be feared/to be the most evil villain in the galaxy” makes sense but “I feel conflicted and like I might want to be on the good side instead” is just so… foreign. There’s only two ways to go with that – make him resolved to be totally evil or make him switch sides. 

There was something else about the character, too that just felt different. I didn’t really read this character as someone with malicious intent. He seemed more like the kind of character who was lost, frustrated, and confused and was lashing out at anything and everything (including himself) to try and fix it. I just feel really bad for him. He’s this character who’s conflict is centered around feeling like he should be on the light side but isn’t because… why? Well the logical conclusion is that he doesn’t think he can be. He thinks he has to be the bad guy. I was initially drawn to that and to Ben as a character because his conflict was so different and I wanted him to figure out who he was going to be. 

Getting really invested in the whole universe afterword only made that desire to see him actually figure himself out even worse, honestly. I’d seen the other six movies and some of The Clone Wars before, but re-watching it all and knowing where it was leading just ampted up my feelings and made me more invested in the universe as a whole.

@rosemoonweaver HOLY SHIT I AM SO FUCKED I HAVEN’T BEEN THIS INTO AN M/F SHIP SINCE EMMA/KILLIAN.

I both want her to save him and him to drag her to the dark side, lol.

AND YOU’RE NOT EVEN AT THE BEST PART YET!! 😀

Same though. I’m in this dumpster hard. I want them to save everything and/or burn it to the ground together.

Yessss they’d be fabulous either way. It’s just nice to see an M/F ship that ACTUALLY has chemistry. I was actually holding my breath when they touched hands.

Yesss. 100% agree. They definitely have chemistry. And tension. And all that good stuff.

Also same. I think I legit gasped when it actually happened.

Summary: After the death of her mother, Rey and her father packed up and moved away from the island she was born on to spend the rest of their days in the unforgiving desert. She’d spent fourteen years in the sand and the heat, longing for home and the ocean that sang to her every night when she closed her eyes.
But with the death of her father, Rey was given the opportunity to move home again. She’d known it wouldn’t be the same, but she hadn’t expected it to be so… strange. There’s something different in the air now, something haunting that lingers in the air and plagues her dreams. But what does it mean for her, for the island, and for the mysterious man she almost remembers?A re-upload of an unfinished WIP.
