The entire point of TLJ!Luke is that “Luke Skywalker would never”
Like
That is why he is so deeply ashamed of what happened, because the Luke Skywalker, Legendary Jedi Master, hero of the rebellion, would never hurt his nephew—but Luke nearly did, because Luke isn’t like a bigger than life persona, he’s just a person, who has momentary lapses in judgment due to deeply shocking force visions, who tried to take that back as soon as he realized that no, he would never, but it was too late! That’s. That’s the entire point.
That’s why he exiled himself! Not because his academy burned, but because Luke Skywalker would never. So maybe it’s time to stop being Luke Skywalker, maybe it’s time to stop being a legend instead of a man.
The man himself lampshades this at one for Christ’s sake: “Because I was Luke Skywalker, Jedi master, a legend.”
Antis- Kelp Ron just manipulates Rey so he can use her #abuse. He better die in the next movie that fascist scum
In denial FanBoys- Kylo Ren is super smart and tactful and tricked Rey so he could rise to power as Supreme Leader. He’s totally going to be the big bad in episode IX.
Actual Ben Solo- Slides across the floor when he senses his crush calling, tells her she’ll never be alone, Takes off his glove to touch hands with said girl probably for the first time , finally stands up against his abuser of 29 years instead of killing this girl he’s known for 3 days, and begs her to rule to galaxy with him togther(not to mention the tears in his eyes when she rejects him)
But yeah sure he’s an evil genius who doesn’t care about her at all
Seriously though, when he extends his hand to Rey after the fight in the throne room, he looks for all the world like a 13 year old boy asking his crush to dance with him at Spring Fling. He’s got the nervous gulp and the shaky hand.
Adam Driver is just the best. One second he’s a beast and the next he’s a frightened teenage boy.
listen either finn is gonna get w/ rey (interracial couple in a prominent film franchise, still relatively uncommon in modern media) or finn is gonna get w/ rose (interracial couple consisting of two people of color in a prominent film franchise, even LESS common in modern media) or finn is gonna get w/ poe (interracial QUEER couple consisting of two men of color in a prominent film franchise, unquestionably groundbreaking) so like, no matter who finn winds up with romantically, it’s all good, it’s all important from a representation standpoint, u can all have ur ship wars but i am excited to see who our lord and savior finn chooses and will support him no matter what
