Rey, Kylo and Sequel Trilogy Cohesion
The dyad at the centre of a fundamentally cohesive story *TROS spoilers ahead* Social media’s been an interesting place since The Rise of Skywalker hit cinema screens around the world, and considering the polarising effect of The Last Jedi, avoiding a degree of discourse was always an impossibility.

We knew from April’s teaser…
