Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker - 26 WTF Moments

5. The "Reylo" Kiss

No single scene in The Rise of Skywalker feels more like dodgy fan fiction than the awkward kiss between Kylo Ren and Rey mere seconds before he dies.

For starters, it doesn't feel remotely earned, because even if you accept that Rey is willing to forgot Kylo's past atrocities, the attempts to establish palpable sexual tension between the two have been half-baked at best.

Having Rey hook up with him makes decidedly less sense than her getting with Finn, who she has demonstrated an easy rapport with since the beginning of the trilogy.

Of all the pandering concessions Abrams made to the fanbase's worst instincts, this was absolutely the most laughable and embarrassing.
