Star Wars fanboys: "I don't wanna see another Vader. I wanna see him be evil and then die by Rey's hand!" Reylos: "I don't wanna see another Vader. I wanna see him live and atone for what he's done!" Star Wars: Kylo Ren is another Vader

anyone else still trying to figure out how to deal with this sudden existential dread caused mostly by a Disney movie? it's been a month and it's gotten worse.

once again I am lamenting how a multi million dollar franchise failed in delivering the final installment of a decades-old story because of the hubris of man

it's twilight zone levels of weird that LF employees don't want to say anything about the canon romance but please please please tell your fellow reylos to stop @'ing the creators. our fan experience is so much better without them

"Disney removed Willow because it sucked" is not an opinion people should have. If you say this, anything else that follows is wrong too. Art is not good or bad. Stories shouldn't be treated like garbage, period. You, on the other hand, are a garbage person.

it's not creative or interesting to make the audience sympathize with a character you're just going to kill off without giving the character anything they actually wanted or *needed* it's not brave. it's not original. it's not challenging. it's lazy.
