Reylo discussion

[sabotabby]

Hey lovely folks! This is a genuine "asking for a friend" research question. Said friend posted about this tweet. Our responses were both "damn, good for them" but also neither of us understand the appeal of Reylo. Obviously there is and people are into it, and absolutely no judgment or squee-harshing at all—this is absolute curiosity.

I'm not in SW fandom at all, though I've seen most of the movies, and am only aware that there is some fandom drama around the issue. So if you ship it or a ship with similar dynamics and feel comfortable talking about it—what's the appeal? What about it does it for you?

Hah well, I liked the first two well enough and hated the third. But I'd assume a lot of people want to fix canon if they like the characters.

Initially, I enjoyed TFA before I realized the plot holes and inconsistencies. I didn’t like TLJ at all, and RoS was a mess. I haven’t rewatched those movies ever since they were in theaters. In spite of that, those movies do not ruin the original saga for me, because they are so disjointed and not part Lucas’s original vision.

Yup, some fans can get very creative with fix it or au fanfics.
