EW TLJ Covers: Raw Powah Couple Edition

Ehhh the cover is just two promo images of Rey and Kylo put together. Nothing unique with them actually interacting. Still nice to see them together on something legit!

Covers are real, but disappointing (IMO). Same old. 95% of things that get announced are bound to be disappointing, haha.

But....it's the first time they are in the same frame other than the posters. And it's interesting that Finn is also partnered with Rose.

I bet the stories are going to be a bunch of vagueing or things we've already heard said in a different way. I don't expect official sources to reveal anything more to us at this point when we're so close. If we want real new info, it'll probably have to come from leaks!

@ZioRen

Not terribly exciting That's one of my favorite pics of Kylo though

Yeah, disappointing is right. Photoshopped fiddle-faddle!

*throws laptop out of the window*

I must say that I appreciate the way their glares and intensity match! They look like equals through and through.

SAME

*fetches laptop back*

Thinking positively:

(a) At least they're on the same cover!
(b) No gates! (yet)

How many bets TLJ ends with Rey leaving with Kylo....and we are supposed to think she's 'gone dark'.

Meh, still more evidence to add to the pile. The closer we get to the movie the more everything seems to come up Rey and Kylo. Even if it is lame photoshop, it's a good sign of things to come.

Honestly, the next 3 weeks will probably involve a lot of interviews with things we've already heard. I would be surrpised if we got anything truly new until the film. Probably just more reiterations of "Rey and Kylo are two halves of our protagonist", "Luke wants Rey to piss off at first", "Finn and Rose adventure", etc.

She's still defending him! Even with two pics put together.

Two separate photos in the same frame or not, it’s simply breath taking to have my baes finally in the same picture together!

iteresting: Kylo and Rey are on the FO background

Yeah, if you think about it...

Finn and Rose are in one cover, and Kylo and Rey are in another. Ooooh... what does it mean?

Of course, I'm not holding my breath for Poe and Holdo.
As to Luke and Leia, they do have a loving relationship and a force bond!

So I think the pairings in the cover reveal a lot.

So what if these are just promos, you downers!  

THEY ARE FINALLY HERE. TOGETHER.

I've been sooo hoping that they secretly had pictures taken of them together that would come out just before or after the film... but maybe that's more of an Episode 9 promo kind of thing since they don't want us to even know if Rey and Kylo share scenes! I'll take the shopped pic over anything else we've gotten so far

::passes out the tea cups and pours tea:: I'll save the champagne for movie night!

Love the covers, but more excited for the interior articles. Hopefully something good!

(and having Finn with mojo and Rose together? FinnRose FTW)

Interesting how Rey seems to defend Kylo in several promo pictures as if she is his bodyguard

Cue Whitney Houston's ballad from The Body Guard "and IIIIIIIIIIII will always love youuuuuuuuu"

@Darth_Awakened

My exactly feelings! I don't care if we already saw these pics, at least they are together in some magazine cover. *party*

LMAO we're so spoiled at this point that a magazine cover of them looking like the power couple of the century is a disappointment. We all would've been so happy to get something like this alongside the original TLJ EW articles.

No Luke and Rey here. I guess we're getting more proof they covered a lot of that in the early stages of marketing.

Seems like the red herring "will Rey fall to the dark side?" is going to be used quite a bit in the English marketing leading up the to the film. It makes a lot of sense because it gets people thinking about Rey and Kylo without giving away their actual dynamic (that the two will reach out to each other in the most sincere and positive way possible in order to find where they belong. Brilliant use of a red herring. Expect to see quite a bit of it.
