[Ben and Rey’s] bond—refined in the fire of mutual searching, shared grief, rage and hate, but also of compassion and empathy—was the one thing [Palpatine] had not foreseen. The moment Ben felt the grip of Luke’s lightsaber in his palm, he knew it belonged to him, an extension of his very own self. He raised it slowly, relishing the feel of it. The Knights startled backward a few steps. Surprise, he imagined his father saying. He attacked.

happy disney decided to leave me alone! thank you for all the love and maybe an HD version will be coming soon☺️☺️
tros ending version #1
alright so here we go again, this is version #1 of ben’s last scene in TROS, i’ve received multiple emails from disney warning me ab posting it again, but i’ve also received a number of messages from you guys who’re dying to see it, so maybe some time away from social media is for the best lol
just to be clear, this is a re-edit based on the continuity of the original scene and in relation to the original score, an explanation of continuity, professional editing, and my thoughts regarding the original scene is available on my tumblr rn. this wasn’t created as a form of wishful thinking or in regard to what i wanted to see (version #2 is also posted rn), i genuinely made this attempting to make sense of the choppiness and confusing character reactions. once again, i changed absolutely nothing ab the music, this is the original track that plays during the original scene. the only thing i changed was when it started.
so please enjoy !! and, if this gets taken down again, farewell👋🏼 and thank you so much for being such a beautiful, supportive community !! i’m consistently amazed by your talent❤️

Rey was honestly one of my favorite characters coming out of TFA, but I couldn’t figure out why I was walking out of TROS feeling like there was something off about her. I decided to dive into a character study to see what the issues were. That’s when I realized the unbelievable character regression we witnessed in TROS. I know I’m not the first one to notice this or comment on it, but here are some of the key elements I noticed.
well seeing as that they came for me after posting version 1 (probably too close to the actual ending) maybe they’ll let version 2 slide bc it’s definitely more manipulated
“That’s a part of the sickness in America, that you have to think in terms of who wins, who loses, who’s good, who’s bad, who’s best, who’s worst…I don’t like to think that way. Everybody has their own value in different ways, and I don’t like to think who’s the best at this. I mean, what’s the point of it?”
