...to me is Ben/Kylo saying "Please.." to Rey as he asks her to join him.That single word says a ton about the characterization of Ben Solo / Kylo Ren, and Adam Driver's performance when saying it only seals the deal. It captures the character's ongoing turmoil, of his hatred towards all the old shit but we can feel that he is still unsure of what he just did, and he truly wants Rey to join because she's the only one that might understand, it captures that he is actually afraid of doing this alone.That single word also removes Kylo Ren from the "you are beneath me" attitude that we get either from Vader telling Luke to join him or Palpatine persuading Anakin to join the dark side. It makes Kylo's struggle and motivation feel real. He took the bet that Rey would want to join him when he killed Snoke.Also, to me it makes the last "force bridge" scene between Rey and Ben near the end of the movie that much sadder with the way Ben looks up at Rey just for Rey to close the Millenium Falcon ramp presumably ending any chance of Rey joining Kylo Ren on his struggle. I really hope JJ takes this unsure relationship between Rey and Kylo Ren to interesting places in the next installment.From that single word I can feel that he's still the same young inexperienced force user who is disappointed of his supposed master and uncle.I can't say enough good words about this movie, watched it twice already and plan on doing a third with the SO but i think that's one aspect of the movie i love that i haven't seen discussed anywhere.Do you feel something as well about the Ben asking Rey to join scene? via /r/StarWars http://ift.tt/2D63wle
