Star Wars

By Artemis

abusing Rey, but Rey was fighting back. Honestly, she probably hurt him more than he might have.

Rey is also the first person in the movie to see the human side of Kylo Ren. She sees his fear first. Though that was an accident, it was no accident that Kylo Ren took off his helmet. He willingly showed Rey his humanity. That he wasn't just a “creature in a mask.”

Kylo Ren’s main goal is to finish what Vader started. Anakin turned to the Dark Side to save Padme. If Kylo Ren achieves his goal, that would mean he turns to the Light Side to save Rey (whether this means she dies, I’d rather not think about).

Reylo is just another perfectly valid ship that deserves to not be hated. Reylo shippers have perfectly valid reasons for their ship, and those reasons can be backed up with canon evidence. So, this Valentine’s Day, let the Reylo shipping continue freely!
