I was sad, and stressed, and angry, so ANGRY, at the way all the canon material and behind the scenes glimpses being released with TROS seemed to take the knife of our fandom's grief over Ben's apparent death and just twist it.
So I made the love and beauty I wanted to see; these two, choosing each other over the agenda of all the other forces in their lives, and thriving in their defiance.
There's a lot of symbolism in this one, so for those who are interested in the headcanon I built while drawing this:
Rey, having claimed her own identity as a Jedi sentinel, has her yellow lightsaber, guarding the knowledge from the books in her keeping.
Ben, redeemed, has a healed crystal that turned purple in recognition of his hard earned balance between the light and dark parts of himself. He still bears the scar, because Rey never needed to heal him of a killing blow that she struck.
The eclipse is representative of a force dyad in canon, and entirely too perfect for the sun/moon mythology that surrounds these two characters. Plus I think it looks cool.
