Rey’s jacket at the end of the movie makes me happy because it’s probably the first time someone has ever given her something as a gift…. and in my mind it’ll always be how Space Mum Leia unknowingly gets Rey’s undying loyalty.
so idk if this has been pointed out already, but Rey’s and Kylo’s costumes are literally mirror images of each other, Rey’s is just the white version and Kylo’s is just the black version
the four panels of fabric below the waist in the front and back
the leather belt, gloves, and of course the bandaged fabric on the arms
the masks/head covering that drapes the shoulders
the light side and dark side of the force symbolism between these two characters is literally reflected in what they’re wearing and i’m just ???
and the fact that kylo’s is so much more layered and concealing, and he’s always donning the mask, effectively hiding his body, face, and emotions because he just wants to be cloaked in darkness and it’s just ???
I had a lot of difficulties doing this, but I’m glad I didn’t scrap it like so many other things. It’s good to do something really challenging from time to time and keep coming back to it until it’s done. It might not be perfect, but at least you have a result and can’t get away without solving some problems you didn’t know how to deal with before.
