Ever since I discovered Reylo from Star Wars Sequel Trilogy back in the first 3 days of March 2024, I noticed I moved on really quickly from the stagnant state I was in with Dramione. My entire focus shifted to these 2 characters, because 1) they were the highlight of the movies, 2) they interacted for real and the interactions were significant to the story (vs dramione, not even canon), 3) there's just a lot of content about them (edits on Tiktok, video essays on Youtube). I was being fed so good.
I also happened to move on from Draco pretty quickly 😫🫠 Whenever I look at the actor now, I cannot see Draco anymore. It's worse for me because back then I really had a difficult time separating the actor from Draco. I prefer him looking like Draco. Otherwise, the adult version would be Coriolanus Snow.
Now Kylo Ren. Lord jesus take the wheel. See, this time, I was able to separate Adam from his character. I had no trouble watching interviews, random press conferences, even his SNL skits as Kylo Ren. I didn't cringe. I could try to watch his other movies, like The Last Duel, and just stare at him - because he's so fcking hot.
Adam looks so hot with the beard AND without; with short, mid, AND long hair.
For Dramione, the actors are so good friends in real life. They have pictures together from various events; they even hang out! But Draco and Hermione don't have canon content at all, because in the end, there's nothing between them, and Draco is not a significant character 😭
As for Reylo, the movies revolve around them. We got scene packs about them. Merch, posters, etc. The actors, however, don't even go to interviews together with just the 2 of them. Other sequel trilogy actors participate in those "games" we see on Youtube, like "guess what's in the box" or "things people google the most about this actor/character," meanwhile the 2 most important characters never get to even have 1 interview, or skit, or anything together 😭 Daisy is always being paired off with John or Oscar during the conferences, and she usually sits with them. Adam sits with the directors, or god knows who else, EXCEPT Daisy.
I've seen comments on Tiktok/Twitter/Youtube about how Daisy, like, stopped interacting/liking Reylo fanart, because of "SW" fans bashing, or saying smth bad.
I'm confused about the hate on Reylo, because in every trilogy, I noticed that there's always romance. The sequel may have been the first to showcase the enemies-to-lovers trope. But no. How utterly disappointing.
They killed off the last REAL Skywalker, and had someone else take the name. What makes it worse is that that someone is said to be a descendant of Palpatine. Sooo all those past 6 movies for what? 🤬☠️
Here's a palate cleanser.
