Can you guys just imagine the amount of adrenaline that must have been coursing through Rey and Kylo after they defeated the Praetorian Guards? I mean, before everything goes to hell, the way they’re looking at each other in wonderment and disbelief…what an unbelievable amount of tension. That’s the kind of tension that makes you crash into each other.
Realizing that you’re both safe, that you helped save each other and accomplished so much on a whim driven purely by passion and faith in the other person…I can’t imagine what it was like to intuitively grasp that euphoria, then completely have the world pulled out from under you when you realize things aren’t going to work out the way you hoped for. No wonder their conversation afterwards was pure angst and desperation (see: avoiding the implications of your intimacy altogether or using insults to try and make your plea more appealing).
It’s so tragic but one thing’s for certain: neither of them are going to be able to get that moment (that sense of perfect symmetry and fulfillment) out of their heads.
Rule the galaxy… create a new order ….. save the resistance… who’s your parents…? They talked about politics and the in-laws….. it could not end well…
they avoided intimacy all right.
“the in-laws” 🤣
True though. They both, and Rey especially, didn’t know how to deal with that new-found liberty where they could be so ‘nakedly’ open with each other. Their chemistry is electrifying. I mean, there were literal sparks flying around them!
Part of their journey in IX, whatever JJ will choose to do, will be about resolving that tension even further. And yeah, they should just kiss already.
Ben : your parents suck... but not you 😜
Resolution at the hands of JJ will be pure bliss 🤗 and sealed with a kiss, I agree!
