My account is now somewhere between a serious Star Wars discussion account and an unhinged Adam Driver thirsting account and I have absolutely no clue how we got here but I love it
Friendly reminder that there's a deleted scene from TROS where Kylo Ren interrogates Chewie and when kylo mind probes him, Chewie thinks of all their happy memories together when he was Ben Solo. 💔
Chewbacca loved that boy with his whole heart and I hate that's never addressed.
Not to mention that his shrug wasn't scripted. He said that he was watching return of the Jedi shortly before filming that scene and saw Han do it and he thought it would be a nice nod to his father.
This is a perfect example of perfect casting.
Ben Solo fighting the Knights of Ren will forever be so iconic, legitimately is one of the coolest scenes in TROS and the entire saga.
In just one brief scene, Adam Driver as this character perfectly embodies the style and mannerisms of both Anakin Skywalker and Han Solo.
Ben Solo going to face arguably the most powerful Sith Lord to ever exist armed with nothing but a blaster and love for his dyad and absolutely no plan whatsoever is the most Solo thing he could ever do.
Adam Driver is a scary 6'3 ex-marine with a huge yelling voice and a manchild who giggles whenever he sees a dog simultaneously and it's confusing. Yet I love him more for it.
Friendly reminder that Adam Driver in fact threw Daisy Ridley over his shoulder and ran around after completing the throne room scene in TLJ and we have yet to see it.
I KNOW THE FOOTAGE EXISTS SOMEWHERE AND I WILL NOT REST UNTIL IT SEES THE LIGHT OF DAY.
"why are your standards so high?"
Because if a world renowned actor and millionaire still treats the woman he loves like this, no one else has an excuse not to.
Thank you and goodnight.
Kylo reacted so extremely to "a girl" because he's been sensing a girl for 20 years and over the past day, he's been able to sense that she is in danger.
This is the first time he's put together that Rey and the girl he's been sensing for two decades are the same person.
I miss the good old days when Adam played characters that looked like him instead of dressing up like an old man that I had to pretend was attractive. 😭😭😭
Leia and Ben sensing each other with her theme playing somberly in the background is one of the most beautiful and underrated scenes in the whole trilogy.
Brings tears every time.
Friendly reminder that Adam Driver was ecstatic to be in Star Wars mainly because he would get to work with his childhood hero, Harrison Ford only to find out that he has to stab him to death 😭
GUYS I JUST REALIZED THAT BECAUSE ADAM DRIVER HAS RIDEN RISE OF THE RESISTANCE BENS SOLO OFFICIALLY REDEEMED HIMSELF AND BECAME A REBEL 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Leia would be so proud 🥲
Adam Driver fought so hard to have Ben Solo return to the light. And how do they repay that dedication and passion? By giving him a single word to say and then killing him the moment he became truly happy. And they expected us to walk out of the theater happy?

"She senses pluck and wit and steal blood and a keen mind and by the blood of Alderaan is this one going to be a fighter!"
-Leia Organa Solo sensing an unborn Ben Solo
"An image of Chewbacca was projected onto the disc in soft blue. He held a human child in his arms.
It was Ben dark-haired, chubby fisted. He kicked his legs and yanked on chewies fur shrieking in delight.
Chewbacca just cuddled him close, making a sound that was like a purr."
💔
Does anyone feel like Hux was wasted? TFA showed his potential as a main villain and TLJ showed that he had comedic also. (That scene with Poe in the beginning is gold)
I don't talk about him much but I enjoyed his character a lot and I hated how he died so suddenly in TROS
I've said it a million times before and I'll say it a million times again,
Adam Driver is the only one that ever truly understood this character. He poured his heart and soul into Ben only for him to be thrown away like trash.
Adam loved Ben just as much as we do 💙
This is one of the most beautiful and moving familial moments in Star wars. It brought me to tears in the theater and I'm sure I'm not alone on that.
Don't let it go to waste.
#BenSoloIsAlive
REPEAT AFTER ME: the problem is not the inexperienced 20 yo actress who is already struggling with anxiety and low self-esteem . The problem is the people that see these MOVIES as their religion and attack people who disagree with them/play characters they dont like.
Pass it on.
Friendly reminder that Adam Driver enjoys scaring his fellow cast members on set.
Imagine you're walking down a hallway on your way to set and all the sudden this giant, 6'3 mountain of a man leaps out in front of you and says the stupidest thing imaginable.
My life would end.
Seeing them back out together makes me really happy ❤️
I don't care what anyone else says, I absolutely adore this couple. Their story is just adorable.
The rat community is the only place where someone could say "✨the mouth thing ✨" and we would all know immediately what they were talking about.
I love us ❤️
“Adam had to like wrap & literally got up from that scene which was like so emotional & everything was like ‘Bye guys I’m going to New York’”
Daisy Ridley confirms their kiss scene in The Rise of Skywalker was Adam Driver’s last scene before he wrapped filming
Adam: I'm very introverted. I don't like being around other people. Most of the time I just sit there in silence and not talk to anyone.
Meanwhile also Adam:

@abruce60776990
I would have LOVED to see his son's face when the Kylo Ren character came up and said "Welcome Back, Supreme Leader, how may we be of assistance?"
I still can't get over the fact that Adam Driver mourned Ben Solo too.
It makes me feel so much less alone knowing that the actor of the character shares the same feelings that I do but at the same point, imagine learning that 5 years of your passion was wasted OVER THE PHONE
If you look closely at his face you can see the most genuine smile ever. 🥺 It makes me so happy to know that these two talented people are still in love ❤️
Adam: I'm totally done with Star Wars! Im never associating with it again.
Also Adam:* takes his family to Disney and rides the resistance ride twice*
Who is he trying to fool? Because it's not us.
WAIT what if they told Adam via phone call that Ben was going to die because they knew that if they told him in person he would fight for him to stay alive just like he did for him to return to the light??!! WHAT THEN???!!
GUYS I FEEL LIKE SUCH AN IDIOT
I have been advocating for Ben Solo's return ever since 2019 and I JUST NOW Realized one of the biggest pieces of evidence we have.
Ben didn't appear with Luke and Leia at the end of TROS because HE WASN'T DEAD
How did I not see this sooner?🤦♀️
Kylo's betrayal of Snoke was genuinely such a shock, & for the briefest of moments we-like Rey herself-believe that Ben Solo has returned, only for those hopes to be dashed just as quickly when we learn his true motives.
Such a powerful scene. ✨️
I get that a lot of people don't want Ben in black once he returns because that's the color of evil in Star Wars but I just can't see him in any color other than black. It's just HIS color.
@realswtheory
Bro is going to be sexist and then a tantrum when he gets called on it. None of this would have happened if you had just accepted the fact that a woman was directing a Star Wars movie. But no, you had to cause drama so that you could make money off of it.
Ben and Rey are talking when he enters the Falcon for the first time. Ben was so focused on Rey he didn't realize where he was. He starts gathering supplies by muscle memory & it's only when he looks up that he realizes he's on his father's ship for the first time in 20 years...
Ben Solo going to face arguably the most powerful Sith Lord to ever exist armed with nothing but a blaster and love for his dyad and absolutely no plan whatsoever is the most Solo thing he could ever do.
I JUST HAD THE MOST AMAZING THOUGHT
Remember in the trailer for Rise of Skywalker when it fades to Black and we heard palpatine's laugh?
What if the same thing happens for the trailer for The rey movie except we hear this,
"Ben, are you there?"
"I was always here sweetheart."
Ben Solo is named after Ben Kenobi, Leia's only hope.
Luke had hope in Ben, as he was his strongest student.
Leia and Han both had hope for nearly a decade that their son would return.
Ben was a beacon of Hope for Rey, her only hope.
What hope is there in death?
#BenSoloIsAlive
GUYS!! We kept
#BenSoloIsAlive
trending all day! I'm so prou!
But remember, the fight doesn't end here. There's no reason to not be as vocal about wanting Ben to return everyday!
If we want to be heard, we have to make every day like today
#BenSoloIsAlive
and don't you forget it!
Can we talk about how he could so easily make no conversation and just sign their things silently or just ignore them all together. But No. He still goes out of his way to interact with fans despite his social anxiety and he deserves a lot of recognition for that
Im watching TLJ rn and I saw something ive never noticed before. When Ben and Rey touch hands and Luke comes in, Ben still has his hand out for her even though she's pulled away 🥺🥺🥺
"He acknowledged her and Rey's lips parted in surprise. The connection was...right. Good. Like coming home.
Ben was similarly stunned and together they spent a precious moment reveling in this new sharing.
This is how it should have been all along.
A true dyad."
