I don’t know why people are surprised about Rian’s quote about the hand touch. We already knew that he finds “forced intimacy” to be hot and interesting. Rey had to literally be out of character for this thing to happen.

He made it all about Kylo Ren. That’s what Reylo means: His perspective is the correct one. He wasn’t wrong to hurt her. The intimacy between them is something that Rey must submit to, or else she’s the abusive one because she “misunderstands” his intentions.

He is the film’s central character. To make him “sympathetic” and “redeemable”, you need to destroy the integrity and characterization of certain characters that impacts his arc or separate said characters from previous interactions (Like Rey with Finn, Finn from Poe) and reset it to fit the narrative.

Be honest. Rey from TFA (which happened like a day ago before TLJ) would have never given him the chance. She would have stayed on Ach-To to fight for Luke to come back. Rey from TFA is extremely patient. She knew all about waiting. To salvage broken parts and wait for it to heal. This was her hero. But nope, Luke is now permanently perceived as a villain to make Kylo more sympathetic and “redeemable”. It is what it is.

Bad writing. Rey doesn’t matter. Luke doesn’t matter. Han’s death was a good thing for Kylo, because he saw his son as a monster. Leia is a bad person too, because she also treated him like a monster.

Everyone is worthless of sympathy or forgiveness. Except Kylo.

I never want to hear or read any Reylo say that they love Rey or any other character again. Rian just reaffirmed what we’ve been saying all along. It isn’t a surprise at all.

Thank God he’s far away from IX.

THIS ☝ Thank God none of the other main actors buy into his garbage.
