Fans who debated over whether there was a romantic connection between Rylo Ren and Rey or if audiences were reading too much into their dynamic have an answer. In a soon-to-be-released interview with Star Wars: The Last Jedi<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0director Rian Johnson, the filmmaker\u00a0confirmed that he always viewed Kylo Ren and Rey’s relationship as romantic.<\/p>\n

Following the interview, USA Today’s Sariah Wilson excitedly took to Twitter to assure fans of Kylo and Rey’s relationship that the romantic tension<\/a> audiences perceived between the opponents were entirely intentional. “If anybody questions whether or not Reylo were meant to be romantic, you can stop speculating. Rian absolutely saw them as a romance,” Wilson wrote. “I mean, there was more to their stories and growth and arcs, but that he saw them as romantic and intimate.”<\/p>\n

This news should come as no surprise to any viewers of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker<\/em><\/a>, as the\u00a0climax of the film cemented Kylo and Rey’s story arc with a kiss. However, despite this seemingly\u00a0clear-cut confirmation of Kylo and Rey’s romance, the novelization of The Rise of Skywalker<\/em> insisted that the kiss was not romantic, leaving some fans confused as to the film’s intentions. Notably, J.J. Abrams\u00a0returned to the franchise\u00a0to direct\u00a0Star Wars:<\/em>\u00a0The Rise of Skywalker <\/em>and there may be some discrepancies between Johnson and Abrams’ views on the Kylo-Rey relationship. Due to the shift in directors between the two films, as well as the surrounding controversy in between productions, some fans speculated that “Reylo’s” kiss was merely Abrams’ means of neatly tying up the Kylo-Rey storyline, before moving on to new territory.<\/p>\n
