    It reminds me of Luke's ESB one in many ways (possibly foreshadowing, hmm), with some Han-aesthetics thrown in as well.

    You are right and it was the right choice- storywise - not to dye hair dark brunett.

    I guess they chose a darker color from the one Carrie normally has been using lately but not as dark as the picture above.

    this uniform or the resistance admiral is quite similar to the old republic officer uniform from the final scene of revenge of the sith. It has the similar s-split:

    here's something i find curious (for those who like to nitpick scenes apart for every meager scrap of psuedo-information):

    Screen Shot 2016-02-08 at 8.06.28 AM.png

    this is the promotional image that's circulated of Kylo Ren talking to grandpa in his private chamber.

    this isn't what Ren actually wears in the scene.

    i opened this thread talking about how the costume choices tell us things about the characters (part of the great visual storytelling in TFA). and one of the things i mentioned is that Ren's costume specifically is designed with natural fibers like something the Resistance would wear, but it's lacquered over like the FO aesthetic (suggesting his dual Light/Dark conflict).

    in this scene, Ren doesn't wear either the lacquered surcoat or the hood. it's the only time we see him that stripped down and the only time we ever see him sitting.

    part of me writes it off as merely intentional telegraphing of his vulnerability (which it does -- he looks very naked), but i can't shake the weird juxtaposition of him asking grandpa to show him the Darkside while simultaneously throwing off the garment that links him aesthetically to the FO.

    does this possibly support that Kylo Ren might have some kind of hidden agenda? or was it just a lazy hot day on set and Driver didn't want to put on the extra layers?

    You also see his hair coming from underneath the helmet. Perhaps in the original scene he was meant to take his helmet off. Shakespearean.

    But I do wish to note that if a picture of a scene appears to be filmed from a different direction it doesn't necessarily mean it isn't in the final cut. They usually film multiple camera angles all at once to facilitate and the editing process. They can pick which shot is most interesting.

    I also think below costume for Kylo Ren would have been pretty silly:

    There's a reason Kylo's outfit is the way it is, from a filming stand-point too.
    It has different layers and textures due to it being all black, which depending on the cameras/lighting can hide a lot of the detail in the design. Remember his role within the FO is that of a rogue commander, a force imbued interrogator, so it makes sense that he stands out from the rest of the armored troops too.

    Wait, wasn't he sitting in the corner of the room without his helmet and surcoat and hood when Rey was captured and regained conciousness?
