A bunch of men on TikTok are telling me that I’m wrong and that they could be lying and have removed their chips after they betrayed the Jedi and I’m just like???? Sorry you have absolutely no faith in one of the most loyal and beloved characters on the show???
You can have your trashy opinion, but don’t be “well actually”-ing me when it’s clear that I watched Rebels while you didn’t because there’s more context that confirms this so really you’re just mad that I know more than you 🤷🏼♀️
People be out here having the audacity to say that because Rex didn’t have a scar on his head in the new episode that means that he’s gonna participate in Order 66 and I just...
No.
How fucking dare ya’ll.
HOW. DARE. YOU.
Rex would NEVER!!!
And he DOESN’T!!!
If you’d like to educate yourselves on this matter rather than spewing such uncultured and disrespectful BULLSHIT, kindly turn your attention to Star Wars Rebels, season 2, episode 3, at approximately 10 minutes in where Rex tells Kanan that he and some other clones removed their control chips AND DID NOT BETRAY HIS JEDI COMMANDER.
Now I don’t wanna see anyone disrespecting my main man Commander Rex ever again :)))

While we’re on the topic tho, who would buy a Damerey enamel pin if I made one??
I said on my Instagram that I wanted to start making Star Wars enamel pins for my Etsy shop and so I asked what kind of Star Wars pins people would want to see, and I shit you not, every single request has been for Reyl0/Kylo Ren designs, which wouldn’t be a big deal if they didn’t happen to be my least favorite things about the sequel trilogy 🙃🙃🙃

Tumblr is still being stupid and won’t let me reply to people so I have to do it here 🤦🏼♀️
@benslightsaber yes, I know this. I even know that it’s actually the title of the musical score by Joh Williams that plays during the lightsaber battle between Obi-Wan and Darth Maul. It’s easily one of the most iconic Star Wars scores of all time.
I also know that Duel of the Fates was allegedly the original title of The Rise of Skywalker, back when Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly were the screenwriters for the film prior to JJ Abrams being brought back on. These screenshots are from an allegedly leaked copy (no way to 100% confirm if it’s legit although the script is identical to leaked concept art that WAS officially confirmed by Trevorrow) of the original script, hence why I refer to what I read as “Duel of the Fates.” I do believe the title was supposed to be a reference to the music in Phantom Menace, while also being a perfect descriptor of the new film itself. This is the opening crawl from the script pdf that I read. You can read it too, there’s a link on my blog.
See. Episode IX: Duel of the Fates. Brilliant title. Really is a shame they didn’t keep it 😕
Okay, so I’m done reading the leaked Duel of the Fates script and I took screenshot of all the Damerey so you can all die with me because it makes what we got in TROS look like nothing.
Opening scene has some great banter, alluded to mutual attractions do an obvious connection between them that they haven’t had a chance to talk about yet:
Next, back at base, Rey has a vision about confronting Kylo Ren and Poe asks her about it, then offers to help her, reminding her that she doesn’t have to do this alone. And he stands hella close to her at the end 👀
This was just funny. Poe arguing with Chewie in the background about going with Rey because he’s “not letting her go out there alone”
I squealed at this next part. They’re prepping to evacuate the base, Finn and Rose are about to head to the Jedi temple in Coruscant and Poe and Rey are about to go find the force sensitive who could help them find Morris, and Leia has this conversation with Rey. Aka, LEIA FUCKING SHIPS IT AND SAYS FUCK THE JEDI GET YOU SOME GIRL!!
The First Order ended up tracking down their base and destroy the planet while everyone is escaping. Poe and Rey are trying to get clear of the resulting asteroid field aboard the Falcon, then are attacked by the Knights of Ren, and some funny banter ensues. Not necessarily snippy, I just enjoyed it 😂
Poe and Rey arrive on the planet where Poe used to live with his grandfather. He buys her a sari so that she doesn’t look like a “Jedi” and they start making their way through the crowded streets. A beautiful soft moment between them ensues:
Now to the good stuff guys. They see some mechtroopers and proceed to stumble into one of my favorite tropes ever. They end up in a food stall where the merchants are trying to get them to eat some food, and to keep them from drawing attention Poe tries some food. Although his plan fails epically when he chokes on it and starts coughing....drawing attention to them. I’ll let you read the rest and be ready to die because it’s amazing:
Also, lol @ Rey in DENIAL 😏
Okay, moving on, now we get some angst. The Knights of Ren followed them and Rey and Poe end up having to fight them off. They manage to make it back to the Falcon where Chewie is waiting. Poe and Chewie try to blast the KoR while Rey fights them with her saber. And then this happens:
Poe gets hurt and Rey proceeds to ANNHILATE the KoR. Cuz no one hurts her man and gets away with it ✊🏻
Tumblr is stupid and won’t let me post more than ten pictures, so check my blog for part 2.
After the firefight, Rey decides that she has to go alone after learning from the force sensitive woman that she must complete her journey by herself. Poe of course is having none of this, but Rey is insistent. Knowing that neither of them will budge on this, Rey decides to use the force on Poe and make him leave.
I SERIOISLY CAN’T OKAY, MY POOR HEART WASN’T READY FOR THIS SCENE 😭
Unfortunately, this is the last we see of Poe and Rey together, but there’s still more Damerey to be had. There’s this super beautiful moment where Luke’s ghost is talking to Kylo about the For e while Rey lays outside the Sith temple wounded. It includes Finn and Rose too, but Poe and Rey aspect had me crying because they FEEL EACH OTHER!!
This next bit is sorta kinda Damerey, as it’s a callback to what Poe told Rey (no one is no one)
Nearing the end of the script, Rey “dies” and both Finn and Poe can no longer feel her, but they don’t believe she’s gone. After the end of the big climactic battle, we see the return of Rey’s beacon, and Leia gives it to none other than Poe as he promises to never stop searching for Rey 🥰
And finally, at the very end, there’s a flash forward. Finn is telling Rey’s story to a group of force sensitive children. One of the kids asks how they know she’s really gone. Finn replies that they don’t think she is, and then when she comes back, they’ll be there waiting for her. Cut to Poe and Chewie on the Falcon:
And that’s it! All the Damerey in Duel of the Fates! Guys, I think we got robbed, this movie would have been LIIIIT 😭
*runs away crying* WE COULD HAVE HAD IT AAAAAAALLLLLL
