The snippets I've read of this Rey story are so moving, and the moment of connection with Ben is positively spine-tingling. I haven't bought Insider in years, but need to pick this one up for the story alone. There's something so poignant about Rey's experience in those long, lonely years on Jakku.

Haha this is actually a very accurate reflection of my cultural consumption. Scary.

Can someone who reads more comics than me explain why this style of drawing male characters is so prevalent? I can admire the technical skill, but I find the way every sinew is emphasised really off-putting.

i love this art so much. it’s by claudia caranfa— aka kittrose / ragenruin (linktr.ee/ragenruin) #reylo #reyloart

I really enjoyed WAKE UP DEAD MAN, which benefits enormously from having Josh O'Connor as its protagonist - this is Jud's story far more than Blanc's, and his faith journey is richly developed and engaging. The movie is weaker beyond his arc (though Glenn Close is delightful in a plum role!).

Tlj-era cape appreciation ✨#starwars #reylo

I stand in awe of the enduring power of Reylo to make antis mad. No one has power like them.

Finally. My big 2800 word essay about One Battle After Another and its black women characters is live. www.vulture.com/article/blac...

I know for most TFA Reylos it was the bridal carry or the interrogation that made them true believers, but for me it was absolutely this fight scene. There's something intensely passionate about every aspect - from the lighting to the choreography and the close-ups. Gorgeous.

The Running Man remake is super mid but Lee Pace follows the Adam Driver school of sexy mask-wearing and makes for a fantastic villain. Fun watch, even with some serious narrative flaws.

I think this year we all wish Adam the same thing - to make #TheHuntForBenSolo as he intended :D Here's my art for the occasion. It always baffled me that the character with so much potential was barely developed in the movies, there's still so much I'd love to learn about him! #gizart

I drew movie Zelda again based on the better official shots. Loving the costume design.

Nearly 10 years ago a little movie came out that changed my life. Last night I went with 3 friends who have all shared the fun along the way, to see The Force Awakens at the Royal Albert Hall accompanied by a full orchestra*. It’s still a fun watch and it brought back some great memories. #StarWars

We were also there last night. The droids are back in town (iykyk). Great performance from the orchestra and a top night all round. #StarWars #TheForceAwakens #TFA10

Unforgiving Light. When the other half of the dyad is gone...

One of the friends I went to TFA with said that Kylo Ren killed Han Solo because he "wanted power" and I had to bite my tongue to stop myself vehemently disagreeing and going full defence mode 🙃 LOOK AT THAT FACE!!!

The Force Awakens in Concert at the Royal Albert Hall was a truly special experience. The score is so stunning, and only gets richer and more resonant with age. The orchestra did a superb job, and really nailed the grandeur (Kylo's theme!) and poignancy (Rey's theme!) of John Williams' compositions.

Attack of the Clones was released on DVD 23 years ago today so that makes today the very important holiday of Yoda Da Man Day. Please celebrate accordingly.

I love autumn. Definitely the most beautiful season 🍁

Rian Johnson being asked about Adam Driver’s efforts to make #TheHuntforBenSolo “I wanna see Adam in another Star Wars movie, man” 🙏🏽 Daniel Craig “Couldn’t possibly comment” 😂 - radioandyinsta

This Han-Ben interaction is great and clarifies an aspect of TFA that many viewers misunderstood - Kylo didn't kill Han because he hated him, but because he loved him. He desperately wanted to believe that he'd find peace and strength by destroying what he loved. Instead, that choice haunted him.

I coloured it. Rey's going to find Ben Solo and kick the ass of whoever killed him. I finally got an idea to draw after all this time and it worked out lol #reylo #reyloart #TheHuntForBenSolo

I enjoyed del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN while also feeling frustrated by many of its choices. It suffers badly from bloat and self-indulgence, loudly proclaiming its own themes and eradicating much of the novel's moral complexity. Isaac goes full camp and is very fun; Elordi is heartbreaking.

This is both funny and deeply cutting. There's some level of tragic predestination in the boy who couldn't be bothered to learn history growing up to become the leader of a fascist regime drunk on nostalgia for the Empire. (From Han Solo: Hunt for the Falcon, #3.)

The part of Mamdani's speech that I found most exciting was "you dismantle the conditions that allowed him to gain power. That's how we stop Trump — and the next one." We need popular political figures to point out that Trump is not an anomaly and there are plenty more to take his place.

I love this for NYC and the US in general! More left-wing leaders with true vision, please.

this guy has my favourite wookiepedia article of all time

I find it hilarious that this guy appeared in Rogue One for like 30 seconds and now has a whole EU built up around his weird af machinations. Like wtf do you mean he's a head in a bowl tormenting Kylo Ren.

The best thing about Charles Soule tweeting about writing Kylo Ren as "happy" is that I win either way. Since I view the comics as harmless fanfiction to be overridden given the slightest need, I'll enjoy Kylo a) having Rey-related butterflies or b) being comically OOC and enjoying dinner w/ Tava.

Empire Cooked!! "Reylos want Ben Solo to return; sequel haters want Ben Solo to return; casual Star Wars fans want Ben Solo to return.Hell, / want Ben Solo to return. Maybe Disney will see there's something in it. Say it all together: "No-one's ever really gone." #TheHuntForBenSolo

My dad collects and catalogues old radio recordings and recently found this fascinating radio ad promoting the original Star Wars to British audiences back in 1977. It's super interesting to experience how Star Wars was promoted when it was brand new. @blastpoints.bsky.social @wtforce.bsky.social

Ben ?🦋

A very quick, impulsive one this time.

All Right Reylos, With the event starting in just under a week, we wanted to share out the guidelines we've put together for the November Flash Fiction Challenge: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I went to the Labyrinth Experience convention in High Wycombe today and it was such a lovely way to celebrate one of my favourite films! The creativity on display was so inspiring, and it was especially cool to meet a bunch of the puppeteers (Louise Gold was a truly excellent sport!).

The best part of all this news is that LF absolutely considers Ben alive.

At this point, the best thing that could happen for the campaign to save The Hunt for Ben Solo would be for Jenny Nicholson to put together a numbered list on all the ways it would fix Star Wars.

Does anyone know what the most active Reylo discord is? Is it the Reylo Mixer (and if so can I have an invite please!)?

Nabil Shaban was far more than just a Doctor Who monster. As co-founder of Graeae, he was a brilliant ambassador for change in theatre. The stuff he was saying in the 1970s and 1980s about access to the arts still rings true today. Rest in peace, fella.

I've just donated! Let's get this to $10,000 in short order!

こっちでも応援！ #TheHuntForBenSolo

希求 #TheHuntForBenSolo

Bring back the part that was torn away from Rey 💔 #TheHuntForBenSolo #reylo (old artwork while I finish the new one)

the #TheHuntForBenSolo for the PCRF fundraiser will open tomorrow, 10/24 at 8 PM ET! I will be donation matching up to $2k. let’s get fundraising! ❤️🇵🇸💚 gofund.me/0735ef90f

This is so enraging. I honestly can't get over Adam Driver doing unpaid work as a producer for years only to end up with nothing to show for it. It's genuinely amazing to me that he loves Ben Solo enough to work this hard to make the project happen. (And I still have hope that it can happen!)

THE HUNT FOR BEN SOLO!!! #TheHuntForBenSolo #art

...and a little extra 🍼 #TheHuntForBenSolo #Reylo

Who's gonna do the hunting babes? If not his other half? ✨ #TheHuntForBenSolo #Reylo

The (free!) Frankenstein exhibition at Selfridges is fantastic - it beautifully captures the luxuriant production design. It was such a surprise treat to see the rare first editions (I think my favourite thing in the whole exhibition was the presentation copy Mary Shelley dedicated to Lord Byron!).
