What I think is happening here ties in with FrolickingFizzgig’s force bond theory. Very important to note, this moment seems to happen when they are connected with the is showing a symbolic connection. Yin and Yang can absorb each others aspects/personality: Something JJ WANTED you to take note of, but also wanted to keep an air of mystery about (for now). He asks to be her teacher then something incredible happens.

He pursues her right to the edge of the cliff. The choreography obviously makes this look like a chase when she runs up on the wall and leaps away from him, he’s literally trying to catch her feet but she squirms away.
TUMBLR YIN AND YANG SYMBOL SERIES
There are a series of forceful blows from Kylo, She is retreating. When we rejoin them after Poe’s space battle, we start to see them demonstrate what Yin and Yang DO: “Two sides of a whole” is what Yin and Yang are. In the first part of the fight, we have seen them appear to be the two sides of a whole. But when we return, boy has the dynamic changed. Then we cut away to Poe’s space battle.This is to give you a breather from the fight. Then they bounce off off each other like they literally hit a mirror, he twirls, she twirls at the exact same time and they end up like a mirror image but opposite of one another. Not only does the same thing happen in those two shots, they are also exact duplicates of each other, they both run in the same direction, they both hit the tree in the same spot and they both make the tree fall over. More blows, Rey runs right just as Ren swipes, he misses and hits a tree, the tree then falls over: She misses and hits a tree, the tree then falls over If you watch closely they exchange a few blows. She then runs at him and this is where one of the most beautifully choreographed parts of the fight happens. Rey holds the saber up, Ren holds his down. Their facial expressions are the same when she is holding the saber. Lets rewind to the moment where she uses the force to grab the lightsaber. I’ll ask you to watch it now and then I’ll ask you to watch it again once you have seen read my post. NOW BACK TO REY AND REN (Funny how even their names role off the tongue like Yin and Yang does, hmm?) Sometimes changes in the relationship between Yin and Yang can be dramatic where one aspect can literally just transform into the other.” A simple example is thinking about how the day gradually flows into night. The nature of Yin and Yang flows and changes with time. For example: day becomes night and then night becomes day…Yin and Yang are interdependent upon each other so that the definition of one requires the definition for the other to be complete. Each aspect contains the beginning point for the other aspect. Nothing is completely Yin or completely Yang. The word Yin comes out to mean “shady side” and Yang “sunny side This starts both halves chasing after each other as they seek a new balance with each other. So when you split something into two halves – yin / yang, it upsets the equilibrium of wholeness. When something is whole, by definition it is unchanging and complete. Yin and yang are also the starting point for change. This is all suggested through the use of choreography, theme and shot choices.įrom “A starting definition: Yin / Yang : Two halves that together complete wholeness.

Well, I believe the choreography in this fight between Ren and Rey is to show you that firstly, they are two halves of a whole and secondly, it shows you that they are t he personification of Yin and Yang. Remember when Harrison ford recently said that the end fight was a masterful piece of storytelling? How you might ask?
