Like most films, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker underwent a number of changes throughout its development, which leads fans to wonder what some of the abandoned concepts for the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga might have been, but Daisy Ridley recently confirmed that there was no question about Ben Solo passing away after helping Rey confront Emperor Palpatine. The actress did admit, however, that there was a debate over whether or not Rey should kiss Ben Solo before his passing, but to the disappointment of some, there was no version of the film’s finale in which Ben survived the encounter.
Reylo fans: Daisy says the only two possible TROS endings was kiss or no kiss, she said Ben dying was the only thing that never changed from the beginning and that there was no dialogue in the kiss scene other than “Ben” and her saying “No, no, no, no” when he died.
