Green is not a creative color said:
EDIT: PLOT TWIST: Reylo is necessary so that Rey is a Skywalker since she will be the wife of a Solo and mother to a Solo.

Not a fan because the whole point of TLJ was to reveal that you don’t need to be tied some special heroic family in order to be special. If that’s the resolution of IX, that Rey and Ben have a child, it reaches to the parallels of Revenge of the Sith (the birth of the twins will be the spark of Hope for the much needed Rebellion ~20 years later).

Also, I seriously don’t want any romance done in IX because they really messed up any potential for that to happen without feeling sudden and forced out of nowhere given very little chemistry and romantic development happened at all. I don’t buy Rose and Finn at all, and Finn’s “WTF” face tells it all when he’s kissed by Rose.

The real goal of IX shouldn’t rely on romance/fan-shipping to reach a conclusion. It should be, ideally, Rey carving a new path for a new Jedi Order. This time around, she would had studied the ancient teachings of the Jedi in order to learn the rules in order to break them and synthesize these views into an evolutionary understanding of what means to be a Jedi. I have no clue where that leaves the rest of the characters like Kylo, Finn, Rose, Leia, and Poe, but the main focus should be how to craft an evolved Jedi Order.
