Random Fan Theories About Rey And Kylo Ren That Will Mess With Your Head And Your Heart (13 items)

  (#8) Kylo Was Playing Both Snoke And Rey In The Throne Room

  Reddit user mickluchiano213 thinks that people aren’t giving Kylo Ren enough credit for cleverness,

  While watching the film I was personally shocked to find out that Snoke was behind the merging of Kylo and Rey’s minds.

  Rey and Kylo both knew the other had nothing to do with it. I believe Kylo figures out pretty quickly that it was Snoke and that he will have to kill Rey.

  Upon figuring this out he realizes he is now in a position a power with Rey and with Snoke. He lets Rey see the good side of him that still has a chance of turning back to light. He lets Snoke see the anger and hate towards Luke, the Jedi, and the rebels. He is giving them both what they want and both believe that they will win him over.

  In reality Kylo does care for Rey much more than he cares for Snoke. But more than anything Kylo wants power. He decides he will continue the cycle and do what his hero (Vader) should have done. Kill his master and rule the Galaxy with the one person he cares about. (Luke for Vader and Rey for Kylo).

  He knows Rey is filled with a lot of emotion much like him. And knows that he, a young strong man, will have a much longer reign than that of ancient, weak Snoke. And he will have a much stronger enforcer in Rey.

  (#3) The Connection Between Kylo And Rey Cannot Be Severed

  One of the big twists in The Last Jedi was that Supreme Leader Snoke created the “force-bridge” that connected Kylo Ren and Rey, but Angie Dahl at Comic Book Resources theorizes that this bridge isn’t going anywhere now that Snoke is dead:

  The connection between Rey and Ben, though amplified by Snoke, has been there since The Force Awakens. They are the balance of each other, which means they will always be drawn to one another — it sounds cheesy, but they 'complete' each other in a way. Though Rey rejects his offer to follow him and join his new order, fans doubt that that connection is going away.

  The Force visions that they have with each other will probably continue. Snoke may have connected them initially, but with their powers growing, that connection isn’t likely to be severed. A showdown between the two of them in Episode IX is inevitable, and the feelings they have for each other, romantic or not, are going to make the battle have even higher stakes.

  (#11) Rey Is Going To Kill Kylo In Episode IX

  Bustle has a lot of speculation about the future of the Star Wars franchise, and writer Olivia Truffaut-Wong has a particularly deadly prediction about Kylo and Rey:

  If Kylo truly is evil once and for all, then it's clear that there's only one way for Episode IX to end: Kylo Ren must die. In The Last Jedi, Snoke says that Rey has risen with the Force to counteract Kylo's power. As Kylo has grown more powerful with the Dark Side, the Force has balanced his power through Rey, pulling her to the Light. If Snoke is right, then Rey is the only person strong enough to match Kylo and potentially beat him in battle.

  It would be sad to see Rey have to kill Kylo to defeat the First Order, especially after she had such strong faith that he could be turned, but it might be the only way.

  (#2) Kylo Lied About Rey’s Parentage

  Most viewers of The Last Jedi took Kylo Ren’s reveal of Rey’s parentage as a fact, but Reddit user itrytowrite1 doesn’t quite believe the words of old Ben Solo:

  In TFA flashback scene we see a ship leaving Rey on Jakku. She is crying and screaming when this happens.

  In The Last Jedi Kylo tells Rey this: You are nobody. Your parents are nobody. They were filthy junk traders, sold you off for drinking money. They are dead in a (inaudible) grave on Jakku desert. If the parents were really to die on Jakku and be buried in a desert grave, the parents must have stayed on Jakku, yet we see a ship leaving Rey and leaving Jakku.

  Plus, can junk traders afford such a good looking space ship? Also, if you google 'ship from Rey's flashback' it surely doesn't look like a ship that is designed to carry junk. It looks like a small ship, a lot smaller than the Millennium Falcon.

  (#12) Rey And Kylo Are Destined To Switch Sides

  The folks over at PopSugar make their living on pop culture speculation, and they have an incredibly troubling vision of the future for Kylo Ren and Rey, according to writer Ryan Roschke:

  We know Kylo Ren is very troubled. It's clear his journey to the dark side has been tumultuous, and Han Solo very nearly draws him out of it. Rey, on the other hand, seems to have a darkness in her. There's that moment during her lightsaber duel with Kylo Ren, where she very nearly delivers a deadly blow and kills him. Furthermore, Kylo recognises this darkness in her as well. He offers to train her!

  What if they switch spots? What if Kylo pulls Rey to the dark side just as he finds himself drawn to the light? What if all the heroes are actually villains and vice versa? It could change the whole trilogy as we know it.

  (#4) Rey And Kylo Will Truly Balance The Force Together

  A writer over at Star Wars Analysis, Josh Schwarz, put together a thorough theory on what the future holds for a potential Kylo/Rey alliance, and they were even nice enough to post a summary on Reddit:

  Rey, Snoke, and Kylo all have visions of the future in The Last Jedi.

  Rey and Snoke's visions come true, but not in the way they expected. Essentially, these visions were misinterpreted. Rey thought that Kylo would turn to the Light Side. Kylo did turn, but he turned against Snoke and didn't join the Light Side. Snoke thought Kylo would kill his true enemy, Rey. Kylo did kill his true enemy, but it was Snoke, not Rey.

  Kylo has a vision that Rey will join him, and believes this means that Rey will turn to the Dark Side. However, Rey doesn't join him in The Last Jedi. So, this vision has not yet come to pass. What could it mean?

  I believe that Rey will join Kylo in Episode IX, but she won't turn to the Dark Side. Instead, Rey and Kylo will form an alliance between Light and Dark that can truly end the cycle of destructive conflict and bring peace to the galaxy. In this case, Kylo’s vision would come true in the sense that Rey would join him, and she would 'turn' to a certain extent, as she’d be pivoting away from the Jedi and towards a gray area between the Light and Dark. However, it would fit with the theme of visions being misinterpreted, as Rey wouldn't turn to the Dark Side.

  By the end of TLJ, Luke and Snoke are dead. This means that in Episode IX, it’ll be up to Rey and Kylo to blaze their own trail. The prequel trilogy ended with the Dark Side triumphant and the Light Side devastated. The original trilogy ended with the Light Side triumphant and the Dark Side devastated. Perhaps this sequel trilogy will end with the Light Side and Dark Side united in true balance.
