NO-ONE's going to talk about Leia trying to kill her son ... to save Rey?

Kylo Ren is literally about to win his first ever fight against Rey when Leia suddenly steps in, using her dying breath/force, to distract him long enough so Rey could recover and KILL HIM. Leia holds on just long enough to see Rey saved and Kylo skewered by his own lightsaber. She dies *before* Rey heals him.

She killed her own son to save Rey ... just wow.

First Luke, now Leia character assassination ........ crazy stuff.

Didn’t Force Ghost Luke tell Rey that Leia gave up her Jedi training because she had a vision that would put Bens life in danger if she became a Jedi? LOL then she distracts him so Rey can skew him.

Indeed - I guess they don't even proof read their own scripts.

Leia was trying to reach Ben to turn him, not get him killed. Lol. Rey realizes this after the fact which is why she heals him....

Leia had given up on him. She never tried to find him to talk to him.

Leia was clearly trying to save rey.

100% wrong.

She was clearly sensing that Rey was in trouble, so she steps in to save her.

She stays alive just long enough to see her son skewered and dies before he is healed. She holds out just to ensure he is killed.

Amazing. Every word you just said is wrong.

[–] triplea (3577) 4 years ago

No, it isn't.

The issue is that the story writers needed a way to save rey, so they just came up with this. Obviously not realising the issue with the fact that Ben is Leia's son so saving rey at his expense would make zero sense.

Good. He deserved to die after killing millions ....why would anyone have a problem with that? If my kid was off commiting genocide I would do the same thing...😂😂😂

Which is why Han went to save him but Leia really wanted him dead.

None of this Di$ney trilogy makes any sense or adds up. Say, you don't think they were making it up as they went along?

Leia was a crack-whore, Dizney style.

Once you accept that, everything else makes sense.

The distraction could be taken that way, or like Han Solo's cameo, as an appeal to his extremely latent conscience, or even a warning that he was better off dead than being how he was. I took it as done in a loving manner. Of course she could have still been pissed at him for Han's death and tried to kill him in revenge.
