Re: petty fan venting

Look, if you don't see it, that's fine. But what else are we supposed to take away from TLJ? Every interaction (aside from the first one) between Rey and Kylo is either romantically coded (e.g. the hand touch) and/or erotically coded (e.g. Kylo wiping his mouth to find Rey's rain there). I mean, they literally did the Anakin/Padmé "together you and I can rule the galaxy" scene again. It's obviously not a successful romance, but it is a romance. Just because characters don't say "I love you" to each other doesn't negate that.

NAYRT

Well, to be fair, the first instance is Vader giving the "Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy" spiel to Luke. I think everyone would agree there were no romantic overtones there. This line has been echoed repeatedly through the films, but just because Anakin/Padme were romantic, it doesn't automatically add a romantic context to the line.

It's not just the line; like I wrote above, it's the entire scene. When Vader makes his offer to Luke in ESB, Luke rejects him right away. He's angry, defiant, and afraid. When Anakin makes his offer to Padmé, she tries to persuade him to give up his plans and run away with her before rejecting him. She's heartbroken and horrified. When Kylo makes his offer to Rey, she begs him not to before rejecting him. She is heartbroken and disappointed.

But if you want to make it all about the "we can rule the galaxy" line, here are the responses:

Luke: I'll never join you!

Padmé: Anakin, you're breaking my heart! You're going down a path I cannot follow!

Rey: Please don't do this, Ben. Please don't go this way.
