In his "deal with the devil", to quote George, Anakin explicitly tells us his motive for siding with evil. "I can't live without her." He wants to save her for his own sake, not for hers.
This is not love, this is Possession. This is what the Jedi seek to avoid by forbidding attachment. 2/

It's so nice to see that Daisy Ridley knows a lot of fans actually do care and want more Sequel era stories, especially ones of Rey and Ben.
It may be too early but this gives me hope we're reaching the "The kids these films were made for are growing up now and this is their SW" stage of the cycle.

This post from a creator I both admire and disagree with, has inspired a response that became:
An exploration of the Dark Side as a metaphysical embodiment of greed, the corruptive nature of power, the dangers of institutional enforcers, the One Ring, and how even SW Jesus can become Lucifer.

Jar'Kai is the dual-wielding lightsaber Form. Its name seems to come from the Japanese practice Daishō meaning
"long [dai] short [shō]".
Does Jar'Kai also mean
"long [jar] short [kai]"?
Is the protagonist of Young Jedi Adventures (Kai) "Short Brightstar"?
Furthermore; Long Long Binks?

Opinion:
#BenSolo saving the woman he loves from death is NOT "finish[ing] what [Anakin] started", that's such a severe misunderstanding of Anakin's fall.
Anakin didn't fall because he was unAble to save his wife from death, his fall was because he was unWilling to let her die, as was her fate.

How did Adam get my script of Rey traveling to the Netherworld of Unbeing ala Orpheus to take Ben back to the realm of the living, despite warnings from the mortis Father (Sir Ian McKellen) this is how the original Dyad unbalanced the Force?

One of my favorite parts of the first game was Feinting my enemies; the game never tells you, but canceling your attack animation baits enemies into reacting.
Now in #GhostOfYotei enemies can feint too, as this enemy seems to cancel a slash when Atsu rolls away, and then transitions to a thrust!

Now that we have another snowy planet (my favorite biome), they better not blow it up like the last two!
(Assuming it's not Starkiller or Kimji, which are both still around in this era.
They might be on a mission investigating the Imperial 'project' on Illum?)

Remember when all the """fans""" pretended to suddenly care about Ki-Adi Mundi just because it was politically advantageous (hateful), when most of them didn't even know his name, and he wasn't even well-liked among his special group of hypocrites within his politically-entrenched religion?

In TLJ, Luke assumes Ben took "a handful" of his students. But we know from the Rise of Kylo Ren comics that Ben didn't take anyone.
3 Jedi chased after him, but they were already off-world when the Temple was destroyed, and 3 is not a handful, it's barely a few.
So who *did* take Luke's students?

Also, as a choreographer it's some of the best storytelling through choreo I've seen.
Bespin, Starkiller, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Princess Bride. The forest fight from The Acolyte
Technical complexity, evolving dynamics, character expression, themes, historical techniques. It's all there

Obviously this is drills, not a choreographed fight scene with other combatants or direction, and should be taken with a grain of salt
That being said, as someone who's done this for over 20 years, I think he's showing good skill and physical literacy, and that toss & catch flourish is very Ezra

Some really interesting details and cool additions here

Before June ends, here’s (FINALLY!) my full thoughts on Marvel’s run of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. (A THREAD)
A *few* parts looked funny & some cooler movie parts were sadly omitted/rushed, but it’s still a WONDERFUL comic companion to TROS with plenty of great or unique additions!
