The Look on His Face…

by

So I slowed the playback during the Crait scene to try to catch some of Ben’s facial expressions to help me figure out what he might be thinking. I paused it at the precise moment he saw the Falcon and half a second before he ordered it shot down.

I thought he might look surprised to see the ship, but I did not expect…this. I had to share it with you guys.

I think I’m dying inside.

Damn it, Rey, hug him. HUG HIM, GODDAMNIT!!!

Rey!!

Rey…

Rey.

Who didn’t want me. “Blow that piece…”

  1. Okay, so speaking of his face and all the times people have said Adam doesn’t look anything like Han’s son. Hubby and I watched “Empire of Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy” over the weekend. (Yes, we’re that nerdy.) There’s one particular sequence from behind the scenes on Empire that floored me. I saw it and for a few seconds my brain and my eyes went to war because I couldn’t understand what Ben was doing in that footage.
    Here’s the YouTube link. Watch the next few seconds of footage: https://youtu.be/7bFIG1wh0zU?t=1h38m32s
    Am I nuts or do you see it too?

    • Lol I’ve been watching that doc, too, in bits and pieces. Loving it. I’m not sure I see Ben in Han there as clearly as you did, but I definitely see a resemblance. When I first watched TFA I was like, “He’s supposed to be their son? Seriously?” But I started to see it–Leia’s coloring and Han’s face shape and wavy hair. I’ve certainly seen worse parent-child castings.

      • Definitely face shape, especially around the mouth and chin. But I see the resemblance most in Adam’s expressions. He must’ve studied Harrison’s body language and micro-expressions from all three movies because he really mirrors some of Han’s mannerisms perfectly. (I’d forgotten about Han’s foot slide from RotJ until I saw Ben do it in TLJ. It really shows how much Adam and Rian thought about the character relationships.)

  2. Nooooooooo my heart! Poor rejected Ben! He needs a good, pure snuggle with no redemption strings attached. Rey, go back to him *sob*

    (WJ posted a new vid two days ago about a Bendemption, did you see it?)
