    Yeah I'm with you there. I'm not sure why my comment from several days ago was brought up. The thread has moved on. At the time we were discussing if Kylo was nuts or if Vader actually spoke to Kylo. It was focused on the past anyway not that it would start now.

    I think Kylo will destroy his mask in the first act of the movie (or it will be destroyed by someone else). This will be a pivotal moment for his character development.

    IMO Kylo had never spoken to Vader. It was Snoke all along.

    Snoke maybe. My guess is Kylo talks to the helmet and wishes that Vader speaks to him or is delusional.

    Snoke manipulation like that would be a level of tragic.

    Though I suspect that if Snoke was posing as Vader speaking we would have heard it. To set up the reveal later that Kylo was tricked.

    It is already set up:
    "It was Snoke. He seduced our son to the dark side." - Leia
    "Show me AGAIN the power of the dark side."
    - Kylo

    IMO it's crystal clear that Kylo talked to "Snoke's Vader". In TLJ we will see this manipulation even further.

    at the risk of incurring great wrath, i can't be the only one who thinks giving Kylo Ren a cape is a bad idea, am i?

    i love Adam Driver, but he not a graceful human being and that is not a graceful cape. i feel like either they are intentionally making him look very awkward (because he doesn't belong emulating Vader to begin with), or the costume designer is maybe not paying enough attention to her subject.

    i find it curious that Johnson would alter something like his scar to prevent him from looking silly, but then would saddle him with this cumbersome bit of drag.

    and again, i'm hoping it's totally intentional and/or the pictures just aren't well-representative.

    i totally wouldn't mind if he stumbles all over it and ditches it in a rage if it's played for good humor.

    meanwhile: oh Ewan. my heart. hahahaha

    Even in May 2017 there's still people who think Kylo dies on Starkiller Base, they should have shown Kylo saved by Hux with a shuttle, it was shot according to JJ Abrams...

    The only official picture of Kylo saved at the end of TFA:
    [​IMG]

    from this book:

    (he have no injuries because it's a children book)

    hahaha ~ yes, why not! let him dispense with all the nonsense in one fell sweep.
    the only reason i can see Kylo Ren being in that silly getup is for the audience to realize how wrong it is on him.

    i have this book too ~ it certainly is interesting, the way in which the lightsaber fight (and Ren in particular) is presented for children.

    it's okay, i disdained his original costume as a "little black dress" with a puffin hat, so my perspective on Ren Ben's attire is totally questionable at best ~ hahaha

    I hope the cape is off more than on, I like the rest of the outfit, has a medieval look to it.

    Did anyone ever say or figure out what Kylo Ren means exactly? Are there other Kylo or other Ren's?

    Ren is Lotus, like Padme. Kylo Ren sounds too much like his real name to me, and I wonder if there is a reason for that.
