In today’s episode we talk TLJ’s distinctively Reylo leaning marketing in Korea and Japan. We look at the posters and relationship charts used to convey that Kylo Ren and Rey will have a special relationship, heavily hinting at romance. We discuss similarities between the Kylo and Rey dynamic as it is being advertised and elements of Kdrama and anime. Lee gushes about Boys Over Flower, and the similarities between Gu Yun Pyo/Kylo Ren and Geum JanDi/Rey.
We briefly talk Rolling Stone’s TLJ cover, Norse mythology elements in the ST, and the rise of the undead: Rey Solo.
Shoutout to Sleemo, renreynbow, Zoe, Shii405 and Tex, who have helped pool resources in the SW fandom community in order to piece this huge Reylo jigsaw puzzle together. Thanks for all your work, guys!
