    How do people get sexual undertones out of that scene? I mean if you look at it from a really really weird place I guess but in no way it that the intention of the scene. I mean if someone is really into a..bdsm I suppose they could get that impression but that is only from their own mind....will Kylo become obsessed with her? Yes of course. He wants to train her. It's not sexual though. Is he crazy enough to stalk her? Absolutely. Would they ever add that into these films? NO!

    I have a feeling Rey and Kylo are cousins.

    I can't speak for everyone else, but the whole interrogation scene had a definite sexual vibe for me. It is super intimate between them- he even takes his mask off.

    What sexual undertones? She called him a monster, looked away crying while he stole her most personal thoughts, and defiantly stared him down telling him deep down he's just a coward. During their fight she looked terrified, it was remotely sexual.

    EDIT:

    The uneasy ultra personal undertones everyone is feeling is rape. Rey is bound, Kylo removes his mask to make himself seem harmless, then he forces himself into her mind while she cries, until she ultimately resists him, revealing Kylo's assertive need for dominance comes from personal insecurity.

    EDIT AGAIN:

    Not to mention he possibly crippled Finn and left him in a coma, the only person who ever comeback for Rey. They are marketing Rey to be a strong female character, and they're setting up a love story between these two. They are not going to have Rey falling for her captor who mentally raped her. Even her acceptance of the lightsaber came after Kylo struck down Finn. If anyone feels any sexual tension beyond the creepy Kylo is dominating Rey vibes, it's probably something off-screen between Driver and Riddley, which in that case screw him because she's crazy hot.

    I mean, it's likely they are related so prob not.

    if they aren't though, that would be SUPER interesting to me. they definitely had a ton of chemistry, and they definitely had feels about each other lol.

    bingo. I wouldnt call it "rape" but more-so rape overtones, definitely. same goes for when he did it to Poe.

    It would be kind of cool if he makes her fall in love and then kills her.

    I'll have to watch the movie again later, but to me that scene with him and Rey felt more like how Leia and Vader was in the first movie. There's a tension there, but I'm not sure she'll fall for Ben that way, Rey it seems, is more likely to pull him in to the light being family. Star Wars has always been more about family then it's been about romance, since the idea of it is that it's like the old era serials. For Ben and Rey to work a number of things will have to happen.

    1. He's going to have to reject the Darkside of himself.
    2. He has to make up for the death of his father.
    3. He has to show loyalty to stopping the First Order.

    My bet is that he's not going to come into play as far as romantic relationships goes, and that's going to fall into Poe and Finn (Finn being the Luke in this case and Poe being the Han). Or they may surprise us and hook up no one.

    I would say it is the same undertones that makes stuff like Phantom of the Opera Erik/Christine so popular. The danger element just makes it more exciting- it is fiction after all, so there is no actual danger. Plus, Rey does overpower him.

    I mean the dynamic is very common in romances, especially more classical ones.

    Poe and Finn definately make a hot couple.

    Rey and Ren, no thanks. I doubt that psycho Ben Solo has a romantic or loving bone in his body.

    This is a crazy and unlikely scenario.





    We all know Finn can't fly.

    Well, if they're siblings or cousins, I hope not.

    The theory obviously involves Ben and Rey not being related. So every second post mentioning they are related is tiresome.

    When I watched TFA I was feeling the subtle tension between Kylo and Rey's interactions, it is probably the main reason I wasn't buying that Rey is a Skywalker.
    If Ben Solo is meant to be redeemed the only way I can see that happening is through a star crossed lovers type arc. Finn seems to be friend zoned big time so it would be an interesting detail of the story. Rey and Kylo are going to be training and feeling the force stronger than ever, the connection they have could build the more they learn and the conflict inside them both will be the focal point. There is so much we don't know, the events that lead to Ben betraying his family, will we sympathise with him or was he just a brat?
    Then again, Kylo Ren could just be a lost cause and the villain that gets what is coming to him. I hope that is not the case because Han's death would be for nothing and his Son is lost.

    I remember seeing some concept art very early on with Ren embracing Rey, so the theory isn't out of place in my opinion.

    I'm not sure there will be redemption for Kylo... I imagine his fate might end up being the one Han described for him, I.E Snoke gets out of him whatever wants (his power) and then kills him.

    Leia basically said, if Han can't "save" his son then nobody can... Ben had his chance to let Han save him and he turned away from it.

    So I wouldn't be surprised if Ben/Kylo's fate is no redemption and a horrible death.

    And of course no romance with Ren and Rey. Her heart clearly belongs to Finn.

    Impossible.

    I think they are cousins. Which will make their future confrontations that much more personal.

    Anything's possible, but given the rape-y overtones of the interrogation scene and the whole killing Han Solo thing, I don't see it as likely. As others have noted, it's possible he could fixate on her in a creepy stalker sort of way, but a genuine romance? No, I don't see it.

    Speaking bluntly, Finn and Poe are a more likely romance at this point, and I'm actually about half-serious about that.

    I mean seriously, it'd be hilariously subversive to have a Finn-Rey-Poe triangle where Poe is bisexual or homosexual. But being blunt I doubt Disney will go that far (though they might let Oscar Isaac play it ambiguously).

    They may forgo romance altogether, but that seems equally unlikely...romance is a part of Star Wars, after all. The movie seems to hint at Finn/Rey and I'll confess I'm partial to that idea...but at the same time wonder if it would get kiboshed before it ever starts because Disney would be too worried about the reaction from East Asian (particularly China) markets (and the potential box office losses that entails).

    Okay, now here's the photo used to make the concept art. If you look at it by itself, it looks like a fashion photo shoot depicting a couple. No, I'm not saying they are or ever will be a couple, but I'm pretty sure that if people see something there it's not solely their imagination. (Again, I don't think they'll have a love story, but he could become obsessed with her. Maybe she's meant to be the new Padme, opposite Padme, for whom he turns to the light or I don't know.)
