What is a DYAD in the FORCE? TROS Explained

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Nick! ☯️ In addition to your thoughts, here's an excerpt from Wookieepedia: It was foretold in a prophecy that there would be a dyad in the Force, which had been unseen for generations by the time of the New Republic Era. The prophesized dyad was realized within Kylo Ren and Rey. Although they were enemies during the war between the First Order and the Resistance, Ren and Rey shared a unique bond that featured prominently in the lore of the Sith Eternal cultists.

[@Rey-lg8sx]

unusual place and time

[@evanshade19]

I absolutely love the dynamic of kylo and rey. Constantly trying to fight each other, when they're actually the perfect team. Light and dark working side by side. One of the many reasons I love the praetorian guard fight and the entire sequel trilogy as a whole.

[@BabysitterSky]

To me they're balancing each other out. Hes a dark side guy constantly being pulled to the light. She's a good guy who as soon as she learns of the force goes right to the dark. Perfectly balanced...like all things should be.

[@lisas44]

Exactly!

[@kristinaloncar778]

I love the moment when Kylo says "The dark side is in our nature, surrender to it" when in fact he is the one that has problems with that. Rey just gets pissed and she's there.

[@NaomiTCOOKIES]

They're yin/yang in so many ways. Kylo easily gets pissed when around anyone else but is calm with Rey. Rey easily gets pissed when with Kylo but is calm with anyone else. They bring out the other's opposite aspect when clashing against each other, but both are balanced and enhanced when working together. Shame they killed off Ben though. I'd be interested to see the extent and capability of their dyad bond. After all, we saw them connect across space... but haven't seen them connect across time. And we've seen how one person can practically materialize over to the other person, so.. 🤔

[@kiwedinikwe1087]

Robbin Smith Why do people keep saying this? That scene in the comics was about Anakin having a nightmare, showing what his worst fear was, having Palpatine manipulate his own conception, but there’s no truth or evidence to it. The authors even came out and said that Palpatine didn’t actually have anything to do with Anakins conception, it was just a nightmare, and he thought that was pretty clear in the comics. I think it’s because people take that one screenshot and spread it around, failing to include the context.

Be patient, my friends. Now that Revan and Bastila are Canon again, this is a great opportunity to dive more into the Dyad bond. Wouldn't it be great to find that everything we'll be seeing about those two turns out to be from Rey reading about them in her Jedi texts? And after she closes the final book she looks up and says "Hold on, Ben. I'm coming."

[@Tottleminerftw]

This makes everything makes sense to me.

[@Solo-Skywalker]

The big questions is are they a dyad with this much force Power because it's Anakin power divided? Was Leia and Luke a dyad? Is does the dyad make them stronger or just connect them? What happens when one of the dyad dies? What happens when both the dyad dies? Are the dyads created because the force is balanced? are they created to balance the force?

[@blackeyedlily]

I like it and wish with Ben’s death they had somehow emphasized that his spirit lives on through her now. At the same time, whether they intended this or not, I feel like this strengthens the idea that they are soulmates and how sad that is for Rey now.

[@mathildabacklund5976]

blackeyedlily Omg, this makes me CRYYY! 😭😭😭

[@Strider182]

Seriously the more I've learned deeply about Dyads... the more I'm sad that Ben died. Makes sense that he would die tho, considering that it was the conclusion of the Skywalker saga. (But I would of been happy if he lived lolol)

[@GreyLightwalker]

Technically, twin flames. But, yes. The two that are one.

[@lisas44]

I loved the saber passing scene! Now I've got to go back and watch the sequels, so many things will make more sense. Hopefully the Mary Sue comments can be put to rest. Bottom line she was able to tap into Kylo's training when he tried to delve into her mind in TFA. He was also weakened from killing Han and keeping himself alive through the force after Chewie shot him. Also, she'd spent years having to fight and defend herself. Not to mention learning she's a Palpatine.

[@theamazingm1571]

This also explains why she called herself a Skywalker. Ben is literally part of her.

AT-AT Chat please do a part 2 video on Ben’s death scene within the concept of a dyad! Luke and Leia must not have known (or did Leia? Is that why she stopped Kylo from killing Rey?). How did Kylo Ren find out they were a Dyad? Holy cow!? 🌈💖😃

So you mean when Ben died in the end of TROS he’s with Rey, that why we didn’t see his force ghost in the end of the movie in Tatooine. hmmm interested, thank you for explaining now I understand why Rey and Ben are both one of the same, Kinda like twins. 😭😳

[@Strider182]

Oh shit... I didn't even think about that. I really want to know if that's true! Cause otherwise then they both can't be Force Ghosts? Or maybe they both have to die in the Living Force so they can both appear? Cause that's a good fucking point.

[@mimcris8481]

it's a shame we couldn't see much of their dyad in TRoS, since Ben simply DIED. the dyad they shared could be much more addressed in the movie, causing the two to unite against Palpatine in the final fight. Then they could say "WE are all Jedi". Honestly Ben almost didn't participate in the final fight.

[@julianneb2941]

Exactly!

[@ninac4327]

I feel the same. Their dyad was used by Palpatine to revive. It should have been used to destroy him. The end could have been much much better if each one of them hold a light saber and the jedi ghosts appear to defeat Palpatine.

[@mimcris8481]

@@ninac4327 I totally agree with you... It's sad to know the final movie of the whole Skywalker saga was like that. We can only hope the next trilogy is better fulfilled

[@NaomiTCOOKIES]

I take it as the Star Wars equivalent of soul mates aka Force mates considering they're basically 1 soul split into 2 bodies. JJ & Rian did both respectively describe Rey & Ben's relationship as "two halves of the same coin" and "two halves of the protagonist".

[@TimeandMonotony]

Probably the best explanation of the Force Dyad I've yet seen, thanks! Kylo/Ben is my favorite SW character and the connection between he and Rey is endlessly fascinating. I think he lives in her now, due to their Force Bond/being Force Dyads and the fact that healing someone means giving them some of your life force (or all of it, in the case of resurrecting them), and that's why she didn't seem sad about his death: he's still with her! (Though I do wish there'd been a scene where she has a memorial for him or mourns him or something.)

[@Rey20171]

I don’t know if this is appropriate for the video but I’m going ahead anyway especially since I just saw it a third time on Wednesday... of all the pros and cons , highs and lows this movie contains let alone the whole trilogy with all that has been said left and right and what gripes many have had no one can deny that Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver have had the best chemistry imaginable they have been both individually and together been the highlight of this trilogy. The prince and princess and darlings of Disney Star Wars. And I can not thank them enough for what they’ve contributed. I even donated to both the “Thankyou Adam Driver” and “ Thank you Daisy Ridley” campaigns from the gofundme site just the other day. But yes regardless how this movie turned out the dynamic Rey and Ben have and what these two remarkable actors have brought will make this trilogy immortal. It really is beauty and the beast in space. There’s even in article that I’ll post at the end of this comment. But yeah it’s still beauty and the beast, it’s still pride and prejudice, Romeo and Juliet and The Dark Crystal all in one. This really is a fairy tale as much as it is a drama with space ships. And for that it help me grew a newfound love for Star Wars and if one day we should have the knights of the old republic and we see Revan and Bastila and whoever portrays them it as close to the chemistry Adam and Daisy had. And on a closing note looking forward to see how their caters as actors grow overtime.

[@BabysitterSky]

That actually helps explain a lot. Love these videos buddy. Everytime i see one, I like the sequels even more. Keep it up!

[@DarkChazz]

And yet they tossed Ben aside and made Rey the most powerful force user. Made it seem like the only reason this Dyad existed was for the force heal ability.

[@RaikenXion]

@@tsuyoi-hikari The thing is this is not how it looks or feels in The Rise of Skywalker, the way the movie plays out, the way its all executed does make Rey come across as the most powerful force user to many fans. And to you, YOU may see it as Rey was "getting help from all the Jedi Masters from the past." But they're only voices calling out to her, it simply doesnt have the same impact as when Obi Wan called out to a young Luke (in ep4 ANH), to "let go" when he made that "one-in-a-million" shot blowing up the Death Star. Alot of it has to do with Rey feeling like shes not quite apart of anything in this story, shes never gets to know Luke Skywalker, no other force ghosts had ever appeared to her throughout these movies. So just to hear VOICES of Jedi past calling out to Rey in her final battle, it just feels lazy and half-hearted to so many fans, FRUSTRATING even! Cause to the passionate fans out there, they feel if these old Jedi Masters can call out to her, why not go all the way and appear as force ghosts all standing behind her in that final battle. This is the penultimate, FINAL ending of this epic saga, to have them all actually appear, Luke standing beside his father, who is beside Obi Wan, and Mace, Yoda, Adi Gaila, Kanan and so many more. Thats like the moment in Avengers: Endgame, when if feels as though Cap was on his own, and then ALL the other Superheroes appear to back him up, and they're ALL "AVENGERS" and he says those awesome words before they all go to town. THAT is how you play out your final battle, no one saying Star Wars has to be like the Avengers here; only saying that to actually see those past Jedi all appear, standing behind Rey as she crosses the two lightsabers and battles the Emperor, that would have been more fitting.

[@madtitanthanos7898]

"...and made Rey the most powerful force user." The amount of errors in this statement makes me rather watch Jar Jar Binks. KLYO REN LITERALLY BEATS REY ON KEF-BIR AND IT'S OBVIOUS DARTH SIDIOUS IS THE MOST POWERFUL FORCE WIELDER EVER. He literally cheated death and caused hundreds of deaths in the Battle of Exegol you idiot.

[@natedagreat19]

I think it’s really cool they gave a name to a phenomenon we’ve seen a couple times now. Both Revan and Bastilla have a force bond in the KOTOR game, as do Luke and Leia who both were able to communicate knowledge to each other without Leia even knowing she was force sensitive.

[@percyplant474]

If they just explore more about this DIAD and made a solid foundation or story, tropes or plot around it (rather than focusing on the political, social propaganda's plus merchandising) this Sequel could be one of the most well written and most compelling story in Star Wars History.

[@maclunkey5807]

This explains a lot of the problems people have with Rey, being so strong in the force and all. It it explains her and Kylo's force connection well but didnt Snoke say that he was the one who bridged their minds together? Am I missing somithing??? Also her being strong in the force because she is a Dyad is more interesting then her being strong because she is the Emperor's grand child.

[@NaomiTCOOKIES]

Personally, I believe Snoke was lying about that. He wanted to sow doubt within Rey and Ben towards each other - to create a fissure in the relationship they had developed. Hurt Rey where it hurts most and weaken her morale. I mean, what a troll. They're led to believe the Force connected them together for a reason (they're meant to stand together) and then here comes this old raisin claiming he did it. That would make both Rey and Ben doubt the fate the Force had in store for them. They believed it was for a greater calling. That it was meant to be. And then, like the villain he is, Snoke gaslights them. Watch Rey & Ben's expressions when Snoke says he bridged their minds. They both look crestfallen. It also doesn't make sense that Snoke bridged their minds if we add Palps in. For one, I don't think that's how the Force works. Two, he can bridge 2 specific minds from across the galaxy (and he has not met Rey yet) but cannot find Rey and can't understand/read the minds he connected (couldn't foresee Ben's betrayal)? And if it was Palpatine who did it (as Snoke), why wasn't he aware of their bond when he was the one who built the foundation of it? Nah, it was the Force who connected their minds. Actually, based on the concept of the dyad bond, I think they were connected when Rey was born. Think of it like a red string of fate. Your souls (or soul half in this case) are entwined from the moment of your existence. The bond only became apparent when the Force awakened within Rey in TFA in the interrogation scene. She just needed her dyad mate to awaken the force within her.

How was Palpatine able to defeat them if they were so powerful together? Was it because Rey and Ben didn’t understand the dyad and how to use it to their advantage?

Shit. As someone who's been living in denial about Ben's death for the last month or so...this kind of puts the final nail in the coffin. He really is actually gone. Like, GONE gone. Because in bringing Rey back from literal death, he gave her the other half of their soul. It's so obvious to me now that I actually know what a Force dyad is. THAT'S why he disappeared and then was not shown as a Force ghost. He's just...gone. God damn it. And here I was hoping they would later try and pull some crazy bullshit and bring him back. I loved Ben and Rey. They really made the trilogy for me. Hell, they made STAR WARS as a whole for me. As someone who didn't grow up watching the original trilogies, I have no great love for them, to be honest. Or rather, the nostalgia factor isn't there for me. This new trilogy changed my mind about all of it, though, and actually made me want to go back and rewatch the originals. And now...I find I appreciate them more. Yep, Reylo singlehandedly made me a Star Wars fan. Take that, haters. Take. That.

[@Reyloscoven]

Thank you for saying that in the interrogation scene in tfa Kylo’s talking about the island that Luke’s on! Ever since tlj that’s exactly what I thought he was talking about in that scene. In my opinion, the interrogation scene is when kylo first realises they’re connected somehow. When he reads her mind he says “so lonely, so afraid to leave, at night desperate to sleep” all of which could be applied to him, and he notices this, which you can tell because of Adams amazing acting. He then says “picture an ocean. I see it, I see the island” and I 100% believe he’s talking about Ahch-To. Rey actually says in tlj that she’s seen the island in dreams before, and it’s possible ben has aswell. 1) because he said “I see it too” and they’re minds have always been connected so he might have dreamt about it and 2) because they are Dyads and them touching hands on the island is such an import moment for both of them and their relationship.

It might be me just misinterpreting that line by Palpatine when he discovers that Rey and Ben is a dyad, but I think it's interesting.

[@WhiteWolf496]

If dyads are the only ones are able to "force heal" then does that mean that The Child (Baby Yoda) is part of another force dyad?

[@ATATChat]

😉 I have a speculation video on that this week

[@WhiteWolf496]

@@ATATChat ooooh looking forward to hearing that.

[@natedagreat19]

I think yoda’s species is an exception to the rule.

[@kaiserzer0468]

I think Force healing is different than what Ben did at the end. The healing is when a Jedi transfers a part of their life force to restore physical wounds. Bens final act was on a more spiritual level through the Force Dyad meaning he brought Rey back from death which is considered impossible for a Jedi.

[@cohwoopie]

So does that mean if she says, "a part of me died that day," it wouldn't be metaphorical?

[@redsabr]

Do you think that their Dyad is what made the healing possible? If so, does that mean that The Child is also part of a Dyad. Also, the “heyHeeeey” of Babu Frik cracked me up.

[@ATATChat]

I have been thinking that since I saw TROS!

[@angryvader1662]

So now it’s a Dyad. But in TLJ Snoke said he bridged their minds.

[@Emeraldcrownn]

This draws similarities to the eastern Red String of Fate, Yin Yang, and western Twin Flames.

[@Rey20171]

Is Babu Frik going to pop up in every video from now on with the "Hey hey"?

[@ATATChat]

Yes HAHA!

[@hmulford3851]

I like to think Rey and Ben are the Balance of the Force that Anakin brought.

[@TheIronHordesman2]

Me and Bastilla are the OG dyads. *AND THATS A FACT*

[@ATATChat]

Revan!

[@michaelperret3430]

I personally think Palpy knew about the Dyad. Especially considering Snoke knew about their bond. I think he was just taken aback by the power it gave him.

[@ATATChat]

Could be!

[@4leafclover395]

Alec Herbazz I wondered if this was just another continuity issue since Snoke knew about their connection...in fact, he says that it was he who bridged their minds. Since they are a dyad, it couldn’t have been Snoke that made their connection after all, right?? It’s a little confusing.

[@namedrop721]

4Leaf Clover Snoke lied. As Snoke generally does.

[@sugarandspice3813]

Basically twin flames but wayyyyy more powerful

[@RaikenXion]

2:24 Yeh i like how he shrugs and it is a pretty badass moment but i just wish it was against some other opponents cause i really hate how easily Kylo defeats the Knights of Ren. I found them so fascinating and they look really cool to me and i just hate how they were totally wasted in this movie. Also what doesnt add up is how Kylo struggled to defeat Snoke's Praetorian Guard on his own, he needed help from Rey, but he takes out the KoR easily all on his 1s.

[@TheHoon57]

Had they kept him alive, they could have made a, "Star Wars Episode X: Duality of the Force."

[@ahsoka5216]

Basically a dyad is just a very powerful force bond.

[@analis_s]

This was interesting

[@bluepearl_22]

I feel sorry for all those people who purposely won't accept any explanaitons and will still ride the Rey=Mary Sue train till the wheels fall off.

[@ATATChat]

Can't win with some folk

[@treypelletier192]

I see them as a kinda 2 for 1 version of the chosen one anakin there bond in the force is that of life it self

[@maji1034]

Just watched Ep 9 again and am so excited! Reylo will be back together again! My theory and this video proves it! This dyad force was evident in the last poignant scene when Ben placed his hand on Rey's belly, a new jedi will be born! And as Ben smiled he was telling Rey that you will always have a part of me forever! She didn't get hysterical with his death, she was calm as realization sets in. Bliss! (Anakin's mother was also pregnant without a father). So Rey can truly claim to be a Skywalker by the dyad force of promise! Can hardly wait to see baby Yoda meet baby Reylo!

[@thomasmanning8402]

So do we think the power of their DYAD is the reason Palpatine was finally defeated once and for all? Because otherwise, I don't know what would stop him from coming back again down the line. (Which I really hope doesn't happen haha)

[@ATATChat]

At this point it's so confusing tbh because technically him dying could still have finished the ritual where Rey gets possessed. But instead palpatine melts away.

[@hekatesjynx987]

@@ATATChat I think this would fall under the Jedi rule to use the Force only in defense, not to attack. Palp tries to incite her fear & anger to get her to strike him down, which would have resulted in her channeling dark side energy. But Palp attacked her. She simply deflected that dark energy which went right back to him, so she was defending herself, not attacking. Thus the ritual was not completed. What I don't get is why he would use the same finger lightning trick that backfired on him the last time he was killed. I mean, he's the ultimate dark side Force user, has figured out how to come back from the dead, can drain another's life essence - did a double shot, no less- but only got that one finishing move? 🙄

[@huntergreen1988]

Thanks for the explanation

[@sherrylyn7194]

Is that why Ezra Bridger heard Rey and Ben in the world between worlds? But he also heard Poe, so what would that mean?

[@julianneb2941]

Very helpful, thank you

[@rakusukira]

Does this mean that Ben’s spirit is inside Rey?

[@scottboa2738]

A Dyad in the Force has NOTHING to do with Darth Bane's famous Rule of Two. A "Dyad in the Force" refers to a incredibly strong connection in the Force between two individuals. The infamous "Rule of Two" as created by the legendary Darth Bane, is solely to prevent the infighting of previous generations of Sith. There is to be only one Dark Lord, and only one apprentice. The Rule of Two is NOT being replaced by Disney and a Dyad in the Force, as they are completely irrelevant to each other.

[@Konstantinos_Varakliotis]

Theory: Luke and Leia are a dyad in the force. In the empire strikes back when they call each other names it seems like a force dyad

[@RebelScumPodcast]

Great video. (Because I know you needed to hear that from me!)

[@SalsaPie]

**mild spoilers for Mandalorian** In regards to "the power of life itself" being a dyad thing, what are your thoughts on baby Yoda having healing abilities? I'm asking since you used footage of Rey healing Ben when you were speaking about it.
