ST Rey & Kylo Ren in Episode IX

Sidious killed for good? AKA retcon Return of the Jedi.

 

If you're a big fan of Reylo or Kylo, than I'm sure the dynamic of Rey having to kill Kylo to kill Palatine sounds incredibly romantic. However, to me it sounds like a great method to defeat both of the big bads with one kill. Rey has no reason to have an emotional attachment to either Kylo or Palpatine, so this fight sounds extremely lacking in "epicness" as compared to the final battle in the other two trilogies, where there was a very personal connection.

 

Not really different from Rey having to kill Kylo because he's just as evil as he's been in 7 and 8.

 

Exactly. According to the rumor, the reason Palpatine is able to possess Kylo is because he's evil!

 

What's the point of bringing back Palpatine if he is only going to possess Kylo for a fight scene? Sounds extremely anticlimactic.

 

He takes over an acolyte’s body first. Possibly Matt Smith.

Once Sidious explains how he’s behind both of their lives the personal connection will grow. As for the other part... it’s why I think it could work great for everyone.

Until she kisses him to bring Ben Solo back from the dead that is anyway. With him behaving very differently and we realize that with the Dark Side power removed he’s Ben Solo exclusively again and he asks what happened and who she is and what he’s doing there and where his father is.

 

Yeah, nope. Not a snowball's chance on Mustafar.

 

Thats not all he is going to do..... jumping to conclusions much

 

I agree but it’s amusing to imagine.

 

And what has others in this thread been doing? Speculating which leads to jumping to conclusions.

 

I think you’re mistaking me for someone who liked TLJ.

 

Let me guess, you loved it.

 

I am not a Reylo.

My favorites parts of TLJ was when Rey and Kylo shared scenes.

I hope they continue to share scenes in TROS. After the VF article saying their relationships would be explored even deeper than thought, I am beyond excited.

 

Decent summary of Sidious ties to Jakku again and the new development about Rey being marooned on an “unfamiliar” world known as Jakku.

Only because JJ is back. If RJ were still around, my money would be on this... minus the memory loss. RJ’s Bennie Boo Boo Baby would remember Rey at least... through the force. You can’t have a romance if the male half doesn’t remember forcing intimacy on his girlfriend over and over and over. That’d be cray cray!

 

They will be enemies for much of IX. I was just having some fun with Reylo earlier.




Rey is over Kylo Ren now. The team up will be late and they will need each other to kill Sidious and then she will have to kill Kylo Ren.

 

Why doesn't she let Palpatine kill Kylo then deal with him herself? Does Rey really have to team up with Kylo again?

 

All the talk around this leaves a lot to be desired, like it’s obvious why Rey would ever again team up with Kylo. In the actual story, she not only has no reason to ever trust him in any capacity. Worse, there is almost zero way it can happen without making her look moronic and self destructive.

 

Have you forgotten just how incredibly badass Sidious is when he’s not distracted by his enjoyment of electrocuting Luke, and arrogantly assuming that after decades of loyalty from his right hand man that he’s totally in control?





Even the two of them versus Sidious in a younger body will require their incredible chemistry and balance between light and dark to defeat him.

 

Is Palpatine alive or just a spirit? Would his spirit be just as powerful if he was alive? Let's ask Pablo.

 

Right Rey is going to help the current evil emperor take out his latest rival. Is she going to apply to become a storm trooper as well?

 

You really think it will be difficult to sell Darth Sidious to the audience as a greater threat to the galaxy? I also won’t be surprised if a personal reason for her to be angry with Sidious emerges.

 

If Rey isn't offended by all the personal atrocities Kylo inflicted on her and those close to her, I don't know why she is suddenly going to be mad about anything Palpatine has one.

 

Just throwing this out there....

But the rumour people interpreted as that Rey has to kill Kylo, it was originally worded as "I think Kylo kind of dies... Rey does something that takes him out."

I was thinking this doesn't necessarily mean she "takes him out" like a target. I don't see solid indication it doesn't mean take him OUT of death.

It just read like that to me.
