Star Wars Episode 9: 7 More Rumours You Need To Know

It's long been speculated that Rey and Kylo will properly join forces, a scenario we got to see a snippet of with The Last Jedi's throne room fight. And if a recent rumour is to be believed, Episode IX might actually see the two unite under a common cause.

According to The Express, Rey and Kylo's back-and-forth relationship will come to a head in the third movie, with the outlet describing a scene in which the pair share a teary-eyed hug:

"Rey and Kylo Ren inside a base. From what it seems they are holding and hugging each other while kneeling on the ground. Rey appears to be crying with her eyes squinting. Kylo Ren's head is on her shoulder. In the background some ships are leaving into the sky with some pilots running towards their starfighters... Kylo's black clothing is ripped and he has some scrapes on his shoulder. This could be after the lightsaber duel."

Kylo's damaged clothing would seem to indicate that a lightsaber battle has just taken place (against The Knights Of Ren, perhaps?), and since the two are locked in a rather emotional embrace, it looks like Kylo may finally have seen the light.

Speculate away, but as ever, take this information with a major pinch of salt.
