Heylo Reylo Podcast

In this episode of Heylo Reylo, Lindsey and Nat dig into the recent swath of Reylo-related marketing – from cast interviews to TV spots – in the lead up to The Rise of Skywalker. Later, they're joined by cosplayer and fic writer Cait Corrain (@CaitCorrain on Twitter) to discuss the joys and pitfalls of cosplaying as a Reylo in the Star Wars community. (Warning: If you want to avoid any promo material-based discussion, you can skip ahead to the interview, which begins at the 23-minute mark.)

In this episode of Heylo Reylo, Lindsey and Nat chat with special guest Hazel Monforton (@HazelMonforton on Twitter) about the idea of Bendemption. What is it, why does it go hand-in-hand with being a Reylo, and why did "Kylo Ren never do anything wrong"? We get into all that in more in this conversation. Warning: In this episode, we discuss the "Kylo Ren as a school shooter" concept. We recorded this shortly before the recent school shooting in Santa Clarita, so we apologize for the unfortunate timing. That conversation starts at around the 38-minute mark, if you'd like to avoid it. Have a question for us? Send them to heyloreylopodcast@gmail.com.

In the first episode of Heylo Reylo, Lindsey and Nat sit down for an unfiltered chat about the history of Reylo in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. When did people first start shipping Rey and Kylo? What were the early days of the community like? What initial troubles did shippers face? Nerdist writer Lindsey Romain asks Natasha Fox of the Metamashina Podcast what it was like to be an “OG Reylo.” They also give some quick thoughts on the new trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and talk about what you can expect in future episodes. Warning: At around the 26 minute mark, there is some discussion of heavier topics, including language about abuse. Please proceed with caution if this subject matter is triggering.
