@Birdwoman

Well, Adam's GQ interview did mention "romantic tension between her and Driver's Kylo Ren"...

Yeah, it is a really great article, click bait issue aside.

The part/quote where the author mentions the sexual tension between them is:

"On this particular mid-September day, the internet is abuzz with new speculation that Ridley's character, Rey, is the daughter of Princess Leia (also Kylo Ren's mother). This theory would take any sexual tension between her and Driver's Kylo Ren into the realm of incest -- territory which the Star War trilogy explored with a kiss between Mark Hamill's Luke and Carrie Fisher's Leia."

The article then quotes Adam talking about how his "uncle" and "mum" "made out." There are no quotes from Adam about "any sexual tension" between Rey and Kylo though, but I wonder if the author mentioned it and (Rey Solo) since it looks like he mentioned Luke and Leia in the discussion.

@Kessel

Or else the author is aware of "Reylo". Or even saw the potential for Reylo in TFA...

I think the quote was "romantic tension" though, rather than sexual tension.

Because I feel like a lot of criticisms that people levy against it are completely absolved when viewed through a Reylo lens e.g. a lot of people don't even seem to realise that Kylo was in fact *NOT* trying to kill Rey at SKB and just label him an emo wuss as a result. Reylo literally improves TFA and makes it seem fresh and new amidst all the OT nostalgia. When this ST trilogy is looked back upon, I'm betting Reylo is what is going to separate it apart from the OT and the PT and make it iconic in it's own right. It's one of the reasons I love it so much. We've never seen a light side/darksider fall in love before in SW (not counting the EU of course).

@Kylo Rey
^^^^All of this.
For me, the movie did not make sense until I watched it with Reylo glasses on. Then, everything that made me go “WTF?” made complete sense.

she shows something else in her two scenes with Driver, who, in a career-defining pivot, brings his A-game to a dress-up pageant (taking a cue from Alex Guinness’s sincerity of purpose in the original). First up is a who’s-zooming-who Force-off while Rey’s strapped to a torture device—the second such scene, following the Force-less Poe coughing up intel to the masked one under duress, both of which echo Vader’s dubious probing of Leia in the original. Quite easily once asked, Kylo removes his mask to expose flowing locks and liquefied eyes, and tries to use the Force to get Rey to reveal the big secret—the missing section of a map that will lead to Skywalker’s whereabouts (not joking)—but she resists. Abrams lets the scene play a bit, lets them share the frame (a rarity in a film that favors shot/reverse shot interplay) as they grunt and seethe and play tug of war with each other’s inner thoughts. There’s a queasy sexual chemistry between the strapped-down heroine and the handsome, Gargamel-cloaked villain, which seems to arise not from a plot imperative but from the electricity passed between two compelling people in proximity.
That chemistry is resumed during an epic lightsaber battle in the woods, the film’s most dramatically compacted scene as well as its most visually inspired. With a shocking (though not really) turn of events still fresh in our minds, and Finn at least temporarily toppled, Rey discovers her powers in time to spar with Kylo, resuming their battle of positive-negative spiritual forces and undulating sexual tension. They chase each other around the woods, niftily felling trees with their flaming weapons like slow motion warriors in a Zhang Yimou film, and again stare at each other, this time over crossed and crackling sabers, air-parrying undefined heat. It feels like something, and it also looks like something—in that it doesn’t mean to overtly resemble anything we’ve seen before in the franchise. Abrams had an idea here, or at least an out-of-bounds reference, and it shows.
