How come he wasn't issued a moustache, like the rest of Lando's guys?   Grandfathered in?

Lobot has no hair whatsoever - not even any eyebrows.  Yet you focus in on his base lip?

I could go for that, McGregor's Obi Wan deserves to be in a decent Star Wars story. Not a trilogy though.

I dunno - I'm kind of not interested in prequels.  We know how the story ends up!  That goes for the Rogue One as well.

Star Wars can be blamed for a number of subsequent trends.

Another theory that's out there: Kylo Ren joined the Dark Side in order to destroy it from within. "I will finish what you started" would mean "bring balance to the Force" or "destroy the Dark Side." His lure to the light side would be because he knows he has to embrace the dark side in order to pull this off, but is afraid of it. And it would put a different spin on his killing his father, making Solo's death the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the Dark Side will be defeated.

It's pretty tenuous and I think some scenes contradict it, but it would be an interesting arc for him.

Has there been any leaks yet about Kylo Stimpy? I guess he's in Ep 8.

too tenuous for a SW or Disney movie ;)

It seems fairly obvious that Ren will eventually come to the Light Side in a cathartic moment much like his Grandfather.  But I am not sure how the whiny insecure Ren now has that as his plan.

If he is redeemed, it would be seconds before his death by Rey.  I can't see them repeating VI all over again.  Even Disney has more imagination than that.

Because she will have gone to the dark side by then.

just saw it.

Brilliant.

Yeah, it paraellels the original film a lot, but still thought it was enjoyable.

Shame about Han, really Ford is the only of the Big Original Three who could act.

One thing, I'm pretty sure the chick is Luke's daughter. She has all the good Force/Jedi abilities without training already. The Old Lady said Luke's saber was drawn to her or somesuch.

I thought Han's son was a bit weak. He could barely contain a Storm Trooper in battle, and the chick gave him the fight of his life. He should have killed them both with ease.

he was injured, and his goal was to capture her, not kill her.

Kylo Ren must have some impressive neck and shoulder muscles because they make it look like that helmet weighs a lot.
