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

I say it with the words of Matt the radar technician: "Exactly! Exactly!"

I don’t think Disney actually gets why everyone is so upset about Ben Solo. 

He was the first non-toxically masculine and emotionally vulnerable male character in a big movie franchise. He was a byronic hero and was a character that was written incorporating the female and queer audience. Also incorporated the men who were relentlessly ridiculed for having any amount of emotional intelligence and vulnerability growing up. He cried. He held the hand of his lover and told her that she wasn’t alone. He begged her for companionship. He was human and loving. He wasn’t a caricature “villain,” just a broken boy who was hiding behind a mask to protect himself. 

And then you kept the pew pew flyboy alive to satisfy the dudebros and killed off the actually complex and well-rounded male character. 

That is sickening. 

Amen.

One.

I can relate to that a lot. 

I found this absolutely breathtaking and beautiful dissertation about Ben Solo, his story, and his relationship with Rey. It made me cry! Disney needs to see this, because they did a wonderful and relatable character really dirty.
