Amen.

Amen.

One.

Nothing to add here. 100 per cent correct. 

My main issue is that Star Wars is a fairytale and fairytales have morals, what is the moral of TROS? That if you’re abused from the womb but still fight with all you have and find the strength to redeem yourself, you deserve to die with only a moment of happiness? That love just isn’t enough? That abusers always win in the end? That it’s okay to be alone as long as you have a cool material possession (the lightsaber) and a name that means you’re important (forget that “anyone can be a hero” stuff, back to aristocratic bs)?

Everything was pointless at the end, the story ended with no hope. Han’s and Leia’s sacrifices only gave their son a moment of happiness before he died. Rey’s entire arc was about finding “the belonging she sought ahead of her” and she found it in Ben, Ben was the one who understood her. Her attachment to him isn’t replaceable by her comparatively superficial relationships with Finn or the resistance or a bunch of old ghosts. What Ben and Rey had was a special bond that hasn’t happened in generations. Rey experienced an intimacy beyond our understanding only to lose it, to be forever haunted by its absence and forever feel lonely because no other bond will ever compare.

Does that sound like a fairytale ending to you? The abuse victim dying the moment he earned a chance at happiness after years of suffering and fighting, and the girl who was alone for so long finding her soulmate only to have him ripped away after one kiss? No. That’s a Greek tragedy. That’s some George R.R. Martin levels of bullshit. That’s never what Star Wars was at its heart and everyone involved should be ashamed that they disgraced the series like this.

"Rian was trying to adapt Star Wars in something more marketable to women and younger audiences and JJ instead decided to market to the group of Star Wars fans that is either going to die of Red Bull overdose or old age in a few years." - My Dad

Does anyone else feel like they're mourning Ben more than his literal bond/soul mate???

When will they understand that A WOMAN HAVING A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP DOES NOT MAKE HER WEAK

WE WERE ROBBED AND I'VE GOT PROOFS: BEN SOLO'S DEATH SCENE WAS REVERSED

I just hope everyone in this fandom will see this post: it's really really important. I worked a little bit on the gif (made by myself) of the Ben Solo's death scene and I found out they really robbed us.

I've seen other posts in which people said the scene looked unnatural or that it was reversed so I did my best to find out if this was true or not. Well, this is what I found out.

1) I made a gif of the scene. Just to be sure everything was crystal clear I adjusted the exposure. This is the original gif.

2) I slowed down the gif. In this way is easier to analyze the movements made by both Ben and Rey.

3) I was not convinced by the scene, so I reversed the original gif.

as you can see there are some problems in this clip: the movement of Rey's arm is strange (it looks like she's pushing him down; I noticed this the first time I saw the movie and it really looked strange to me) but also Ben's hair moves in a not natural way. In my opinion, Ben's hair are the key in this scene so keep an eye on them.

4) Just to be sure, I slowed down the reversed version.

I don't know guys: it looks clear to me. They reversed the original scene: Rey was pulling him up. The movements of Rey's arm and foot and Ben's hair are now more natural. Also, you have a sharp eye, you can see the exact moment in which they cut the original clip to make the reverse start. I noticed it immediately because I like to do video edits sometimes and this thing happens a lot of times: if you don't cut the clip in the right way you can tell it.

They reversed the scene. Ben was not meant to die. Rey had to pull him up and then they would kiss. I repeat: Ben was not meant to die

I made a tread on Twitter and I tagged Star Wars and Disney so if you want to show a little bit of support go and chack it ;) Let's make them fix this mess of a movie
