“You’re Afraid Of Me,” Kanan Said. The Words Caused Thrawn To Wince. Maybe If He Wasn’t So Exhausted

I miss Thranto. I miss the way Thrawn drives Eli crazy. I miss Eli's loyalty to Thrawn. I miss Thrawn's trust in Eli. I miss the way they were fated to meet. To understand each other when no one else did.

I think it's time to restart the Thrawn 2017 audiobook.

Reylo in TFA was subtle. You had to be looking for it to see it. If you were looking for something else (Finnrey, Rey Skywalker, etc) it was easy to miss.

Reylo in TLJ is overt. That whole sequence of interactions was presented to make the casual audience want it (and they do). There was no kiss, no “I love you”, but the subtext was impossible to miss (unless you’re as good at denial as Rey is).

They are not going to tease it that hard and then drop it in the next movie. The intent was to make audiences want Reylo to happen. It would be idiotic not to deliver.

There is wisdom in keeping an open mind and not investing so much in one possibility that we’re crushed if it doesn’t happen (advice that certain Rey parentage theorists should have heeded), but when I look at this from a story-teller’s perspective, knowing that Star Wars is about hope, there is only one way to go from here, especially when taking into consideration the plots of the previous two trilogies and who the legacy character is.

Ben Solo will live, and he and Rey will stand together.

I have listened to two chapters of the Thrawn 2017 audiobook and I already adore Eli Vanto far more than I should

Thrawn absolutely refusing to let Anakin call him Mitth’raw’nunuodo unless he pronounces it properly, and it’s just the two of them saying the name back and forth with mispronunciations that do not translate in text until Anakin finally caves, is the funniest shit I have read all day.
