I wonder if any of you are aware that rey likely is kylos cousin… THis is luke and leia all over again
Since Leia never knew Obi-wan as "Ben" (or at all, really), that name must come primarily from Han... in honor of the crazy old wizard who somehow chose him out of a cantina full of lowlifes on a dustbowl planet and changed his path forever. Give feels? /grabby hands
Ben squats at the edge of a hatch in the Millennium Falcon, watching his father fix the hyperdrive. The hyperdrive is in a constant state of either needing to be fixed, being fixed, or just about to break. At this stage, Ben isn’t aware that hyperdrives can work any other way.
“What?” Han Solo’s voice is muffled, followed by an arc of sparks and a hastily-cut-off swear word. This kind of thing is regular enough not really bother Ben, so he calmly repeats himself.
“Dad? Why am I called Ben?”
This finally gets Han’s attention: his dad pokes his head up through the hatch and blinks in the sudden light. “Your mom didn’t tell you?”
Ben shakes his head. Han makes a silent appeal to the sky- the roof of the Falcon, maybe, or something further above- then picks up a hydrospanner.
“Ben was the name of the guy who introduced me to your uncle Luke.” The rest is slightly distorted as Han ducks back into the guts of the Falcon, Ben leaning over to watch him as closely as he can. “Walked up to me in this place, Mos Eisely, ah, uh, well, it was kind of a bar and your old dad was there looking for work-”
“Smuggling.” Ben says with satisfaction, because the word always seems to embarrass his dad.
“Smuggling, yes, okay, and this old guy comes up to me, all dressed in robes. Says he needs a pilot.”
“And you were the best.” This is an undeniable fact, like mom being in charge or Uncle Chewis giving the greatest hugs. It just is, so Ben’s surprised when Han stands up again, putting the hydrospanner back and leaning against the side of the hatch.
“I don’t think I was, you know.” He points a finger at Ben. “Don’t tell anyone. But at the time? In that place? I’m sure there were better pilots, with less noticeable ships. But he chose me.”
“And then you met uncle Luke and mom and saved the galaxy.”
“Single-handed, yep.” Han reaches over and ruffles his son’s hair. “So the next time someone unexpected came and changed my life, I thought, I know what to call him.”
Okay but…Kai, the villain from the new Kung Fu Panda movie? His theme is basically Imagine Dragons’ I’m So Sorry, but for orchestra. It’s really beautiful but it also distracted me all the way through the movie, haha
I have to run but if you listen through this you’ll hear it. Also the rest of the music is really beautiful so, win-win.
Ok listen so I was distracted by this too and then!! It’s credited!!! Like they literally used the song I’m so sorry by imagine dragons as the theme and then credited it at the end where it lists the music and who it’s by its my favorite fact and I die (I would put a screenshot but alas I am not a clever man and also I’m on mobile)
But what if Anakin isn’t ignoring Kylo Ren? What if that great pull Kylo feels towards the Light is Anakin Skywalker desperately trying to save his grandson from his own fate, the way his wife and son tried to save him?
what if Anakin is literally constantly standing behind Kylo Ren, sputtering with ghostly frustration, going, “No! No! No! Do not do that! Do NOT do that! oh for fuck’s sake.”
This is almost certainly what is actually happening.
“Ben if you skewer my son-in-law with that lightsaber then SO HELP ME”
“Ben Solo your mother is blaming me for this, get your ass home and apologize now or I swear-”
And Yoda and Obi-wan are watching, shaking their heads. “Now you know how we felt,” Obi-wan says.
Yoda agrees: “A bitch, karma is.”
I love this. So many people can just totally see Anakin trying to strangle Ben from the afterlife.
I put this together mostly for my own reference but… I thought it was too cool not to post. An hour well spent. Appearance-wise, I found Ben takes after Leia more around the eye/brow area…While the rest is pretty much Han. Of course that’s not counting their shared sense of dry humour, Leia’s short fuse and Han’s snark but we already knew he inherited those. ;)
