Reylo in TFA was subtle. You had to be looking for it to see it. If you were looking for something else (Finnrey, Rey Skywalker, etc) it was easy to miss.

Reylo in TLJ is overt. That whole sequence of interactions was presented to make the casual audience want it (and they do). There was no kiss, no “I love you”, but the subtext was impossible to miss (unless you’re as good at denial as Rey is).

They are not going to tease it that hard and then drop it in the next movie. The intent was to make audiences want Reylo to happen. It would be idiotic not to deliver.

There is wisdom in keeping an open mind and not investing so much in one possibility that we’re crushed if it doesn’t happen (advice that certain Rey parentage theorists should have heeded), but when I look at this from a story-teller’s perspective, knowing that Star Wars is about hope, there is only one way to go from here, especially when taking into consideration the plots of the previous two trilogies and who the legacy character is.

Ben Solo will live, and he and Rey will stand together.

I think the reason why Thrawn is still part of the empire is because the ascendancy is in trouble and he’s going to use the empire’s resources to save it

I was thinking on my walk home from work today. I've always imagined Thrawn's exile as a vague blob of three ish years but it hit me that he spent four years in exile. Alone, with no sentinents. With only a token from Ungali and Thalias to represent everyone who loved him.

Waiting for the day his plotting went into action.

Looking at the ring. Thinking of all he had lost. Thalias and Un'hee and Ar'alani and Samakro and everyone else. (I like to imagine he keeps it close for the rest of his days. Eli learns of it when he commissions it to be painted onto the bottom of the Chimaera. He never learns the full story of it. It becomes a thing that he only takes out on certain nights.

And I was like wait, so he was in exile all of Eli's time at the Myomar Academy pretty much which makes it seem so much longer cause wow. That puts things into perspective. But I was also thinking...

So Thrawn spent those four years in exile while Eli was beginning his military career. And before that Thrawn had his military career. And after they met they had their golden 12 years, in which everyone knew they were a pair. Even people that didn't know them knew that Eli Vanto was a name that followed Thrawn's.

And then they parted. Eli was techinally military, but mostly desk job, while Thrawn stayed active. And then when Eli got a promotion Thrawn got purrgilled and he was grand admiral of nothing.

Basically, the point I'm making is they don't have separate military careers at the same time. The timeline was unintentionally made so they take turns making their names and chess moves. But they only move at the same time at each other's side, together. When the only one that can beat them is... Nightswan.

Idk if it means anything but little thing I noticed.
