Until Kylo, Anakin held the torch as the only half-naked dude to ever appear in Star Wars. The other one? Kylo’s grandfather, Anakin Skywalker.Īctually, Hayden Christensen’s Anakin had two shirtless scenes in the Star Wars prequels, one in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones while on Naboo and the other, longer one in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith while on Coruscant. Because Kylo Ren is only the second character to ever appear shirtless in Star Wars. But while it’s fun to play around with the sexy vibes of the moment as a slightly scandalized Rey asks if Kylo can put a shirt on, there’s something else going on here.

And, with perfect comedic timing, the camera drops in on Kylo, half naked and looking like he just got out of the shower. “I’d rather not do this right now,” a visibly flustered Rey says when their minds accidentally connect at one point. If it wasn’t obvious enough at first that this back-and-forth was being played up for sexual tension, the moment when Rey “walks in” on a shirtless Kylo Ren should have been the kicker. Several times throughout The Last Jedi, Rey’s and Kylo’s minds are thrown together into the same consciousness, able to see and touch and hear each other without ever really being in the same place. In his attempts to draw Rey into his grasp, Supreme Leader Snoke creates a Force-fueled connection between Rey and his student, Kylo Ren. Avert your gaze if you don’t want to get spoiled. This post contains gratuitous spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

One, in particular, is, um, a bit more exposed than the others, though. There are probably a lot of scenes from Star Wars: The Last Jedi now burned into your memory.
