I Have Never Seen A More Accurate Representation Of Social Anxiety I Could See His Entire Life Flash

i have never seen a more accurate representation of social anxiety i could see his entire life flash before his eyes from the moment he was born til this burning moment of panicked regret

Thank you Adam Driver for playing Ben Solo in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy (2015-2019)

So..what if the world between worlds portal is right on Exogol maybe even where Ben fell off that cliff?

#TROS

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.

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. 

Ben Solo marketing

They released the comics right before the premiere which made it clear that Ben Solo did not destroyed the Jedi Temple and did not kill any jedi student. He just wanted to get home. And that certain night when Luke tried to hurt his nephew, Luke Skywalker was indeed under the influence of Palpatine. All these canon materials were released to tell the audience this young man was abused every sense of the word in a brutal way..ever since he was born.

All of these meant to prepare the audience for the “ Redemption  ” and Ben Solo’s happy life…

Before JJ Abrams and his crew changed and destroyed everything. 😡JJ Abrams and Chris T. changed, rewrote and undone everything has been set up by TFA//TLJ//other canin materials.
