ST Daisy Ridley (Rey) in Episode IX

The end, although the beginning sets it up nicely and is a funny moment. But the end, when she's laying there, looking absolutely defeated and she still doesn't give up. She reaches out to the past Jedi and they finally come to her. It's beautiful.

 

Yea, that was an awesome scene and when she said I'm all the Jedi.

 

Yes, I loved that too and when she crossed both the sabers together! I do love Rey's arc in this movie. She became a true Jedi.

 

I feel so bad for poor Daisy and the exploitative comments that her supposed best friend made about her and her character. First Kelly and now Daisy

 

Rey 5 seconds after thinking she killed Chewbacca - Absolutely devastated and crying.
Rey 5 seconds Kylo dies -

 

Because she's now possessed by Kylo Ren, hence his smile before he died.

 

Who was possessed by Plapy


Wow, we really pretending we know who DR's real friends are?

 

Sorry dp

 

@cappoe
No one’s ever really gone. Ben’s body disappeared versus Chewie being (thought to have) exploded by her own hand (side note she seemed more upset about her accidentally killing him). TROS heavily implies Ben is still around in a capacity. Rey doesn’t have a need for tears for someone who is still there

 

John is closer to Daisy than anyone on this message board ever will be. He's likely to know her opinions on things that none of us ever will.

 

We are so lucky for this dynamic in the ST .

 

Exactly, Daisy said this

 

I'm lost when was this? Cause not once is he referenced or mentioned again in the film after he dies.

 

It’s in the text? When your body disappears, it becomes a force ghost. Hence, Ben is still around in the most Star Warsy sense. Looking for silver linings was actually my LAST New Years resolution. Be thankful for what you got rather than lament what could have been.

 

I don't have the video, but wasn't the next line "Maybe redemption" or something?

 

The guy said there would be a lot of hurt fans out there and Daisy said maybe there's redemption. But her point still stands - she's not a reylo shipper. And her reasoning was: "because he's killed too many people".

 

I mean fair enough, but why even bring up redemption if that's the case. It's like saying "Well he's bad, but what if he weren't bad". Probably just covering her ass just in case.

 

Because the dude interviewing her looked like he'd been kicked in the stomach. She was trying to be uplifting for him and give him something to be happy about. Daisy has never shipped reylo, she hasn't shipped Rey with anyone, she's always been pretty consistent on this. It's why I think she probably enjoyed the ending, 'cause Rey isn't with anyone, even after kissing Ben.

 

Nah, I actually know that guy, I've listened to some of his podcasts. I wouldn't say he's a Reylo, but he has friends that are big on it, so he's not against it. He was asking for them.

 

He sure went from smiling face to like he'd been told he wasn't getting any presents for Christmas. I'm sure it wasn't that serious for him, but just watching his face during the interview was funny.

 

Great point. Some thoughts on this :

I feel that character is not only crucial in which side you pick, but also which Force powers abilities you develop/discover and to what extend. This applies to all Force users, and especially to Rey for all the reasons you mention.

It's like music. The melodies one creates depend on the talent, the training, the work put into it, and character. The soul. There are thousands of Force abilities, undiscovered, as there are thousands of melodies waiting to be played. There are myriads ways of playing a scale, as there is so much depth in each Force ability.

Take Qui-Gon for example. His characted and his approach to follow the living force, led him to retaining his identity after death. The great Yoda hadn't discovered this technique after living hundreds of years, and became his student. This doesn't take anything away from Yoda, as comfortably numb by Gilmour doesn't retcon Mozart's genius.

Rey being a healer, is in perfect alignment with what she been through, and this is why your post struck a cord (to keep up with the analogy). As you point out, she spent night after night being hungry, in direct contrast to what thousands of Jedi younglings experienced before her. Such experiences, as stated in cannon, are considered to be of paramount significance, for the Jedi.

The Jedi council initially rejected Qui-Gon proposal about Anakin's training. They said no, because he was too old. The Jedi Council clearly believed, that the crucial early years of one's life, during which much of the character is formulated, have a tremendous impact to the individual and what he will do with the Force. So much so, that one should not be allowed to train. Applies to Anakin, applies to Rey, applies to all.

Rey has incredible raw power, works hard, and above all, she has a unique character shaped by deprivation. Also, lack of typical training means the absence of a mold, which is not necessary bad, as for what a genius can do without formal education, I think Ramanujan is a fine example.

 

I think her point is that Reylo was dark side and bad for her character and a worry for her character but ReyBen is different and wasn’t.

 

ReyBen is the exact same gross mess as reylo. Maybe DR will come out against Disney like OI and JB.
