Star Wars: Are Kylo Ren and Rey dating? Will they get together? SHOCK fan theory

Kylo Ren (played by Adam Driver) and Rey (Daisy Ridley) seem to be peas in a pod. The pair have both been trained by Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and are certainly aware of The Force – despite Kylo deciding to move against it. With the final movie in the Skywalker saga upcoming, fans are wondering if their relationship will take a turn.

So far, Kylo Ren and Rey have established how they are cut from the same cloth.

In the most recent trailer for the film, Rey even comments that no one understands her, to which Kylo replies: “I am the only one who does.”

The pair clearly have a connection, teaming up to kill Snoke in The Last Jedi.

In the new trailers the pair have been seen both fighting and standing together, meaning their relationship seems rather complicated.

While many fans do not want to see the Star Wars franchise turn into a rom-com, some are hoping the pair will get together and Rey will be Kylo Ren’s key to stepping away from the Dark Side.

According to Reddit user strawberrypurse, the potential for this is certainly evident in previous movies.

The user said in a forum about the pair: “I think they’ll still have feelings for each other – especially Kylo…

“That ‘please’ we saw in TLJ [The Last Jedi] tells us he has fallen hard for Rey.

“Since they have this bond they’re also like soulmates. If one died the other would be miserable forever.

“‘Why is the Force connecting us… You and I?’

“Because it wants you to be together and won’t stop until you are!

“Unless Kylo and Rey actually come together the Force won’t stop trying to connect them at the most awkward moments.

“Imagine them both trying to lead separate lives with a Force Bond.”

While this is one idea, some fans are unsure of this and are not keen for the franchise to become a romance, despite this being a key component of the early movies when Han Solo and Leia become involved, after Leia and Luke shared an accidentally incestuous kiss.

Some fans, however, are even more keen for the pair togged together, naming them “Reylo” and insisting they should have children in space.

Other fans think their bond is not romantic, and is instead because the pair are two sides of the same coin – with that coin being Luke Skywalker himself.

User thrownormal said: “Rey both is and isn’t a Skywalker.

“Kylo, being who he was, proved himself to be exceptionally gifted in the Force from a young age.

“However, when he chose (or was directed by Luke, et al) to go Dark, that happened more or less right before Luke shut himself off from the Force.

“Well, it’s a Newtonian law that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and that Force energy had to go somewhere….”

The user insists the Force which Luke rejected for a time, when Kylo went to the Dark Side, needed somewhere to go, and therefore went to Rey.

This could mean she took on this ‘raw power,’ but Kylo still has some of that and will ultimately balance out Rey’s goodness.

Sadly, this means no romance on the cards for those hoping for it, but at least we can be sure they are soulmates in some way at least.

To find out the nature of that relationship fans will just have to wait and see when the movie comes out.
